Thyrocare founder opens up about job security issue in tech firms
Velumani shared how young professionals celebrate securing jobs in top tech firms believing a promising future is set however they face unexpected challenges later.
The Thyrocare boss pointed out that job losses can leave employees struggling both emotionally and financially.
“Imagine how many might have celebrated for getting a campus placement with such brands. Now how many might feel depressed! It is not 10 or 20. 100 or 200 1000 or 2000 14000!!!!” Velumani wrote. “Do not celebrate too early. Career or business – It’s a Marathon Race,” he added.
Incidentally, this post came amid reports that Amazon is set to lay off 14,000 employees.
The e-commerce giant announced in September 2024 a major restructuring to save costs.
Velumani’s post grabbed the attention of netizens.
One user wrote, “Reminds me of the funda that never gets too comfortable too soon. Whether career or business, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Stay adaptable, keep growing.”
Another commented, “In other way, don’t give-up early, it’s a marathon race. Situations may change anytime.”
“A job is a sprint, but wealth-building is a marathon. Markets, careers, and businesses have cycles—ups and downs are inevitable. Invest like you build a career—steady, patient, and focused in the long run. Survival isn’t about speed; it’s about endurance,” another individual remarked.
Another user recalled the advice of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, saying, “As Kalam sir said, no need to be loyal to the company, be loyal to your work.”
