Bengaluru, known as the Silicon Valley of India, has seen a rise in layoff anxiety among professionals. A recent study reveals that around 30 percent of professionals in Bengaluru spend sleepless nights worrying about their uncertain future. The study points to the economic slowdown and the pandemic as the primary causes of this anxiety.

Layoff anxiety can be a debilitating condition that can have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health and overall well-being. The uncertainty of the future, financial instability, and the fear of not being able to provide for oneself and one’s family are just some of the concerns that keep professionals up at night.

The rise in layoff anxiety is not unique to Bengaluru. It is a problem that is being faced by professionals across the world as the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the global economy. However, the situation is particularly acute in Bengaluru, where the IT sector has been hit hard by the pandemic.

To address this issue, companies need to be transparent about their plans and communicate effectively with their employees. This can help alleviate some of the uncertainty that is causing anxiety among professionals.

Additionally, companies can offer employee assistance programs, which can provide support and resources to those struggling with mental health issues.
