US based AI & Data Engineering firm InnoData fired 550 employees in India in a single day.
Surprisingly most of these employees were not informed about it earlier.
On 26 October, they came to office and logged in to their systems.
After some time, they were forcefully logged out. Their IDs were deactivated immediately.
The first sign that something was wrong came when reports began circulating that the company's Philippines team, including team leads, operational managers, and quality experts had been fired during a Zoom call.
Some workers in India then checked the company's HR portal and found that their payslips had been generated.
The portal showed October 26 as the official date of resignation and the last working day.
These employees then frantically reached out to their managers. But there surprised too.
As workers tried to establish what was happening, access to company systems began to disappear.
And while they were texting their HR team about the 'rumour,' one by one started losing access to their official devices.
Laptops were logged out and official IDs deactivated.
