Mumbai, February 8: More and more employees are losing jobs as the tech layoffs 2023 intensify. In the latest update, Infosys, one of India’s leading IT firms, has let go 600 freshers after they failed to clear the company’s internal fresher assessment (FA) test. According to the media reports, most of those fired were hired after July 2022. Out of 600, 280 freshers were fired a week ago.

“I started working at Infosys in August last year and I was given training for the SAP ABAP stream. Out of 150 in my team, only 60 people passed the FA exam. Rest all of us were terminated two weeks ago. From the previous batch, nearly 85 freshers were terminated out of 150 after failing the test,” reported Business Today, quoting a fresher. eBay Announces Layoffs, To Sack 500 Employees Citing ‘Macroeconomic Situation’.
