Lost you Job or Expecting to Get Laid Off
Have you lost your job or expect to be laid off in this ongoing and post corona covid19 world.
Economically the world and especially India is sliding-down towards a setup– where conservatively speaking at least 1 person among 5 [in wonderful booming conditions] and 1 person among 3 [in worst case scenario] — WON’T HAVE THEIR JOBs.
The most affected working-class which are going to be hugely-negatively-impacted — are the daily-wagers, contract-workers, front-line to middle-level executives — the life is going to be much-much tougher for them, if not downright pathetic.
Although — if government of India shows the intelligence and maturity of welcoming all the US, European and Japanese manufacturing industries which are trying to get out of China — to India, by giving carte-blanche operational clearance and by providing them with land and other things on a war-footing.
> Then we may see a very vibrant economy within couple of years — otherwise the predictions of this article has big probability of happening like India missed the earlier bus too in short-sightedness and lack of economic-leadership-maturity.
Barring heavenly-miracles [which has not happened since the history of the mankind] — the economy or the job/business scenario is not going to change FOR BETTER for a very-very long time — in fact it will keep getting worse in near future.
If you are a regular-salaried or ad-hoc working class engaged in projects, temporary assignments or a piece-meal profession [where proverbially you need to dig the well every day] — going will be very-very challenging [in fact the word challenging would acquire newer horrible meanings].
Please understand few hardcore, blunt and straight forward facts
1. Indian economy with its huge government-budgetary-deficit — just does not have any lee-way to create stimulus for boosting economy [few developed countries can bear the strain — but they too would scale down all the spending.
2. In fact, as the current scenario is concerned the government is almost bankrupt — after bailing out the banks, the corrupt businessmen, the rich industries [this is Indian paradox — we have rich industrialists but sick-industries and making huge expenditures in erecting the stone statues etc.
3. Besides this, they kept on coming out with budgets which were totally protectionist and completely anti-reforms — which could have put India on solid footing to face this crisis more effectively
4. Because of this global scenario which is fast approaching a global-recession — most of the countries who are large consumer of Indian goods and services — would go for low spending — resulting for almost all the export-dependent industries/businesses would be most negatively affected maybe to the point of closer of few.
5. Because the government failed to take advantage of the opportunities in las few years — which countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri-Lanka etc. lapped up — picking up and boosting those industry through local consumption would be almost impossible tasks.
6. It is going to be completely different than 2008 recession — because then the Government had lots of reserves [ this time all the RBI, SEBI and many similar reserves are already exhausted]
7. The Local-CONSUMPTIONs [especially those which are economy-boosters] — would be slide further and further down — in the industries/business like — Construction/Real-estate, Automobiles, Travel, Tourism, Hotel, Hospitality.
8. All these industries will have cascading domino’s effect on their dependent ancillaries as well as related industries
9. And unlike in 2008 recession when the business and industry had good 10 years from the years 1999 onwards — In today’s scenario — the corporate India does not have any other choice but to cut back on work-force, cut-cost, reduce production etc. etc.
10. Most of the small business are going to collapse for lack of demand — MY NEXT Blog topic — what to do if you lost all your money and business.
11. Very like in the year 2008 — the freshers from good institutes — many of who got the offer-letters for job may find these are not getting honored, students coming out of third ranking institutes can only hope on creativity, innovation OR prayers alone — which we have seen fails the majority when they need it most.
12. Many-many more NRIs would land-up back in India [because they will lose jobs in their current places]– so the job market would become even more crowded and cut-throat would become ruthlessly-cut-throat.
13. If you are senior leadership person and lose your job — it would be very difficult for you to find any opening — as there would not be any movement at your level — and you can bet that people who are better fit are in the hunt for the jobs too
14. If you are lucky to retain your job — you won’t find any financial growth like increments/promotions/ bonuses etc. — in fact many of you would actually thank god if you retain your jobs with serious pay-cuts.
15. If you were jobless — before this crisis — your wait for a job could be indefinite — unless you have managed to acquire a skill or qualification, which makes you an attractive bargain for them to acquire.
When you read all the above points you will feel this message nothing less than dooms-day announcement.
But it is also equally true that by panicking — nothing major is going to happen — except making yourself and your dependent and loved ones more tense — without serving any cause.
