It could very well be a PR stunt but the content in the OP is “real” in the sense that it matches what’s being reported and isn’t photoshopped or something.
Right, I’m not accusing OP of faking his content. I’m stating the possibility of the original poster from linkedin spreading a lie for the sake of publicity.
Not that this wouldn’t happen, but for me the screenshot looks a bit edited (though I’m just viewing on my phone): look at the clarity of the text in the email, then at the signature and logo. Might be that somebody just swapped out the text in an image editor.
I don’t think it’s that easy to “effective immediately “. I know my company managed problem employees out over months. Employees in India are much better protected than in the US.
Barring cases of severe misconduct, you generally can’t dismiss an employee in India without notice or paying the employee out. Employers need reasonable cause to involuntarily dismiss employees, which includes willful insubordination, theft, fraud, extensive unexcused absences, and disorderly conduct on company property
And that’s how disinformation killed the Information Age.
Edit: Come on. You lot shouldn’t need my help finding a verifiable source yourselves. If there’s so many articles on it, I’m sure you can find at least one verifying the source without my help. Or you can subscribe to an ad populum fallacy and believe a mass of articles presenting no actual evidence. You’ll find the answers to the questions you ask me with your own initiative. I believe in you!
WTF i’m really hoping this is fake
A quick search returning several news articles suggests it’s real. Pretty gross.
All the articles I’ve visited just write about the image in the OP and state that they haven’t verified the claims, f.e:
However, India Today could not independently verify the authenticity of the viral screenshot of the email.

Also interesting to how at least one reposter seem to be a digital marketer.
“Shitiz Dogra, Associate Director of Digital Marketing at IndiGo”
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all fake and meant to spread the company name.

Very possible, arguably even probable.
Most certainly is fake.
That can’t possibly be a real name.
And now articles telling us it wasn’t real has started showing up.

India? The HR teams here are worse than cartels. Heartless.

So is it real or not?
nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about, strawberry fields forever
So is it real or fake?
It’s internet real…
Somebody really posted that on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/shitizdogra_firing-layoffs-job-activity-7271758403717214211-l-FG/
And if you search on LinkedIn for “Ashu Arora Jha” there is an account that looks real.
Whether or not it actually real and not just internet real is anybody’s guess. But it’s not something OP made up anyway.
