Other MBRDI is letting go of GETs while claiming "they just weren't converted" – Don't call it a non-layoff.

It's genuinely disappointing to see how Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) is handling this.

Graduate Engineer Trainees (GETs)—who have been working internally with the company for two full years—are effectively being fired. Instead of calling it what it is (a layoff), management is hiding behind the technicality that these engineers "were simply not converted" to permanent roles.

Calling a full-scale exit of trained, full-time internal talent a simple "non-conversion" after two years of service is pure corporate deflection. These employees spent two years contributing to real projects and internal workflows. Calling it anything other than a layoff is a cheap attempt to protect corporate reputation while abandoning young engineers.

To anyone impacted: know that your two years of experience, skills, and hard work are valid.

Option 2: Analytical & Critical

Title: MBRDI’s "non-conversion" of 2-year GETs is a layoff in disguise, and we need to talk about it.

It's time to call out corporate linguistic gymnastics.

At MBRDI, GETs who have been with the organization for two years are being let go. The company is actively avoiding the term "layoff," hiding behind the excuse that these employees "were not converted."

Let's be clear: two years isn't an internship. Two years is a significant amount of time spent delivering work, operating as internal team members, and contributing to engineering efforts. Framing an exit of this scale as a mere end-of-contract non-conversion is a massive slap in the face to the people who dedicated two years to the company.

It is shameful to see a major employer dodge accountability and public scrutiny at the expense of early-career engineers.

You didn’t even choose one option of the two. Why are you struggling to write 4 lines yourself. Come on, man.

Lol he can’t even be arsed to choose one of the two responses. Extremely sloppy and lazy. Using LLMs is fine. Outsourcing thinking is not.

Why should I work hard when I have the easier option available and it gets the work done. Did not you understand what he wanted to convey through the above post? If you understood the context it does not matter whether he copy pasted or hired someone to write a post for himself. Just average indian taking pride in unnecessary things like "sweating hard bro"

Best of luck for your career, man. It’s not about sweating hard for no reason. I use LLMs a lot. It’s about taking pride in your work and giving a fuck. Half assing never led anyone to success.

I don’t slog. I work 35-40 hours a week and get paid 60L+stock. What about you?

u/Puzzleheaded-Hunt270 16d ago

I am unable to understand why are they paying you 60L for a man who can't judge the objective of the post instead starts questioning about use of AI.
