Mass layoff

Pros

Company allowed brutal mass layoff.

Cons

Recently one of the UPL division (nurture.farm) has laid off 50% of their talented manpower in a brutal and pathetic way. UPL CHRO allowed this and enjoyed the pain of the employees. Such a disaster for a company like UPL.

Pros

Brand name looks impressive on paper • Good colleagues trying to survive the culture

Cons

UPL taught me one thing very quickly: a big brand does not guarantee a healthy workplace. I worked under Nishant and Gaurav, and the experience made it clear that UPL’s biggest problem isn’t the work — it’s the management culture you get stuck under. From day one, the environment felt chaotic and draining. Onboarding was a mess, expectations changed every other day, and clarity was practically nonexistent. Instead of leadership, you get pressure. Instead of support, you get confusion. Instead of guidance, you get silence until something goes wrong — then suddenly it’s all on you. You don’t leave UPL because of workload. You leave because the way you’re managed makes even simple work feel heavy. If the company is serious about retaining talent, it needs to take a hard look at how managers operate — especially in teams led by people like the ones I reported to. Until that changes, UPL will continue losing employees not because they can’t do the job, but because the environment kills motivation faster than any task ever Cons: • Leadership style that drains more than it adds • Zero clarity or structured onboarding • Constant pressure with minimal support • Outdated management mindset • Morale gets crushed fast
