Over 1,000 employees were recently laid off by Edtech company BYJU's. The fresh round of firing has come at a time when the company is entangled in a legal battle with lenders in US for a term loan. Amid all this, a former employee of the company, who lost his job said he was asked by the edtech firm to put in his papers ‘immediately’ despite being available for work '24/7.'  He took to social media to express his disappointment about the job cuts.


Arpit Singh, a Retention Manager at the company took to LinkedIn to describe his sitiuation. 


 "Today I am telling this after losing all Hopes. I lost my job Due to layoffs. I Don't know where it was my fault I did very hard work throughout my work in BYJUS & Career. I have never applied to a 10 to 8 work culture in my life , always available 24/7 For my company but once they came and told me to resign immediately," he wrote.


He, however, said that his post is 'not a complaint' because the company helped him when he needed a job. He also praised the work culture of BYJUS.


"I am not complaining about BYJUS they helped me last year when I needed a job , work culture was very good and they gave me work according to my expectations. now they might be in trouble so they have to take such harsh decisions. I will always respect my First organisation But I was very sure that I can get a job easily for minimum same payroll but I was wrong," he further said in the post.


The man concluded by saying that he is yet to inform his family about being laid off as he is the only breadwinner in the family.


"Last year I came into this private sector because I was not selected in Government by a very few margen but after a year I lost it I lost everything. Don't have Dare to tell my Family about this because don't have a good condition there in my family only one who is serving them hardly. since than I have applied in many companies gave many interviews but not got selected in 1st , 2nd or 3rd rounds. I don't want leaves any Facilities , I can do any kind of work but don't have Dare to Face this stage."


He also asked his LinkedIn connections to help him secure a new job.
