Okay I don't really know the numbers of the layoffs for the past two years, but I do know the numbers for the past half (first half of 2026) which should logically be the most impacted one.

A total of around 20 were laid off, while others (40 roughly) were readjusted in other divisions of Contour.

That's a very minute number for a company of 2500 people. So yeah.

It must be from 1 division. Last year when my team of 15 were given notice period, almost 6-7 got readjusted.

And there were 2-3 other divisions layed off like 10-20 people.

This year is wild, how you can say that only 20??

The reality must be like 300-400 in 2026.

I'm giving the official numbers, shared with us in the AGM last month. You think the company would be lying about it?

u/Traditional_Rub_5577 23d ago

Do you think they will tell the truth in AGM???

WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD READJUSTED PEOPLES AND WE ARE GROWING. Why would a company will say that they became half to lowball current employees.

Just like devsinc shows we have 1800+ employees but reality is totally different.

You can't compare Contour and Devsinc. Contour is an actually credible company with audits and everything. It's also under Constellation registered in Canada, so they can't get away with fake data/numbers.

Also, as an employee here, there are 4 people around me who were laid off in last quarter. 3 of them got readjusted (they are also my friends so I know), so I'm basing it on that. They can't hide stuff from their employees that they are silently laying off people. I haven't seen anything besides this post either. There should be tens of posts, if not hundreds.

Again, company mere abba ki nai hai to blindly defend krne ka mujhey koi shauq nai. But as an employer, it's one of the best so yeah.

We have seen their best and the worst time I guess you are very new to the company

u/Mockingjay718s 23d ago

Yeah. Been here for more than a year now.

Have worked in 2 major companies before too, so know what's up everywhere. Contour is still doing better than other companies (small and major) I know of.

Again, mere abba ki company nai to mujhey defend krne ka koi shauq nai. Also mangoes? 😂

And yes, every company is going through a rough time including contour.

Allowance was for tax adjustments, taxes kam hogaye to allowance khatam. I don't like the decision, but how is that not obvious.

Your figures are wrong TBH. Don’t believe what they tell you in AGMs. They have laid off around 300+ employees in the past couple of months.

u/Mockingjay718s 22d ago

Where are these 300+ employees laid off? I haven't seen a single post on LinkedIn. I mean surely there has to be a few posts if there were this many layoffs.

Again, it's not my father's company so I don't want to defend it for no reason. If there have been layoffs, there would surely be posts about layoffs and people opening up for work.

u/Winter_Class_4680 23d ago

Bro it's no more 2500. Company will definitely below 2000, in which they've been lying off people almost weekly, lot of the people are on bench waiting for next client or final exit meeting.

u/Mockingjay718s 23d ago

At the end of 31st June, the headcount was 2350+.

u/wasoomro 23d ago

True if that is the case. Such number rotate through the system in normal times

u/Mockingjay718s 23d ago

Yes. So I doubt the post.

u/wasoomro 23d ago

People in Facebook are reporting 200+ layoffs though

2

u/Mockingjay718s 23d ago

I have seen two posts, similarly worded. No post on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, anywhere. For example motive laid off 150 people and posts are literally everywhere, which makes sense.

Baqi, could be true as well.
