On June 3, about 200 employees of the American management consulting firm Bain and Company’s India division received a rather ominous calendar invite.
They each would have a 10-minute meeting with HR. But no one, other than the heads of the regional offices and the head of HR, knew what the meeting was about.
During the meeting, they were all told they were being laid off. The layoffs took the consulting community by surprise, because it just wasn’t a very ‘Bain’ thing to do.
What's going on? Tune in to find out.
