Mizoram Speaker to lead Indian delegation session on AI at Commonwealth meet in South Africa

Around 80 employees of a US financial technology company's Indian customer support team were reportedly terminated in a five-minute Google Meet call, according to an employee quoted by NDTV. The employee claimed that the entire team was laid off without prior warning, citing "operational reasons" as the reason for the sudden decision.

The employee described how their shift began at 6:30 pm, and at 9:30 pm, they were invited to a Google Meet call by senior management, where they were informed of the layoff. The employee stated that the team had been working hard and the decision came as a shock as they had been pushing themselves at work due to job security concerns.

The employee named the company as Bluevine, a US-based financial technology company. However, the reasons for the layoffs could not be independently verified, and the post sparked concern among social media users over the abrupt manner of the layoff.
