Swiggy Layoff News: Swiggy To Let Go 1,100 Employees Amid ...


A majority of Swiggy’s delivery workforce has returned to work after the company reduced pay-cuts. In fact, the company has scaled up its operations to 95% of the earlier levels as delivery partners are back. “Over the last couple of days, we have had a positive dialogue with our partners to explain the revised pay-outs and assuage their concerns,” a company spokesperson said, PTI reported. Food delivery executives have been protesting for a week now against the rollback to incentives they were previously provided with. Other than incentives, the company has also reduced per order delivery fees as well. 

“We are glad that our partners were able to understand the revised service fee. We understand the efforts put in by our delivery partners in making Swiggy accessible to consumers and maintain an honest approach in enabling a sustainable service fee,” a company spokesperson further said. Swiggy supported close to 40,000 delivery partners to the tune of Rs 18 crore during March and June, according to a Swiggy official, when Indian was under one of the harshest lockdowns in the world. The same was provided to help delivery partners tide over the crisis as there was an evident dip in orders. 

“We would like to assert that most active partners have made over Rs 45 per order in the last week, with the high performing partners making over Rs 100 per order. Our partners earn incentives over and above this making their monthly service fee much higher,” the company said in a statement. Meanwhile, Swiggy hopes that expansion of several categories such as Swiggy Genie and Grocery platform across tier 2 and tier 3 cities will also open up further avenues of additional incomes for Swiggy partners as the festival season is approaching.

It was my first job, and as an ambitious, young, aspiring HR professional, I was trying my level, best to impress everybody at work, including my impudent boss. I liked my work, especially the challenges pertaining to the job. The only thing I could not adapt to, was the boorish treatment meted out by our boss to his subordinates. Human beings tend to make mistakes, and being a trainee, I also made a mistake at work, and in the presence of all my colleagues, my boss shouted at me “Fu…….off”. Humiliated and depressed, I went to the locker room with flooded eyes. One of my colleagues advised me that this is very normal in this company, and even though a rude person, our manager is very good at heart. Due to my personal commitments, I decided to stay in the company until I get a new job. Though despised to the core, I continued to listen to unpleasant phrases from him. I do not...

Should Succession Plan be a secret?

Image
  There are many organizations and HR Heads who believe that the succession plan should always be kept confidential and divulging the succession planning process to concerned employees can affect the organization negatively. In many companies, the succession planning process is a mystery and promotions are a surprise.  Even today many management professionals believe that revealing the succession plan to employees can destabilize the organizational harmony and team spirit.
