12,000 Layoffs at TCS… This One Hits Hard
Just saw the news that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is laying off around 12,000 people — mostly mid-to-senior level employees — and I can’t lie, it stings. That’s 2% of their global workforce, but when you’re talking about 613,000 employees, that’s a lot of lives affected.
TCS has been a pillar of India’s IT sector for decades. If even they are cutting this deep, it says a lot about how shaky the global tech services market is right now.
They’re saying it’s to pivot toward new markets and AI expansion, but it’s tough not to feel like experienced folks are being pushed out to make room for leaner, cheaper teams or tech replacements.
I get that businesses evolve, but I also worry about what this means for the thousands of careers built on traditional IT consulting and services.
Hope everyone affected lands on their feet quickly. The world’s changing fast, and not always kindly.
