    With the layoff wave continuing, the companies are running out employees to lay off but foreseeing the global recession the companies are bound to lay off, and to ensure the same tech and e-commerce giants have announced massive hiring only to layoff more employees to cut down their expenses.

     

    Amazon aims at 133% layoff while Microsoft Corporation aims at 156% layoff in this fiscal year. Speaking to The Fauxy, an e-commerce company head said “Look, the Easiest way to cut down the company’s expense is employee layoff, and now when we are close to layoff 100% employees we need to hire more to layoff them, we aim to hire 30,000 employee and layoff nearly same number”

     

    A jobless person told The Fauxy that he will apply for that job since he’ll have three months of notice period between hiring and firing and three months salary he will use for his startup of tea stall outside the same company.

    Governors to voters: The state of our nation is bleak, except under me – The News Caravan

    “>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, cast his state as the place “where woke goes to die,” to which Murphy, in his State of the State address, responded, “I’m not even sure I know what that means.”

    It’s not just the nation’s highest-profile chief executives getting in on the crowing, either. It may be news to most, but Jim Justice, the Republican governor of West Virginia, is aware of “jealousy” about his state, “because now, all of a sudden, we’re the diamond in the rough that they missed.”

    “We’re in a never-before-seen era of contrast between red and blue states,” said Rob Stutzman, a Republican strategist. “What state you live in has become a subtext for what your politics must be, and I don’t think that was ever really true until the last six years or so.”

    Covid, he said, “has thrown an accelerant on the way governors have presented their states. It became more a point of contrast – open or closed, mandate or no mandate, pro-vaccine or vaccine skeptic. There were very few governors who played it down the middle.”

    The governors’ addresses have not been without some introspection about what could improve within their geographic boundaries. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb, a Republican, pointed last week to the relatively high rates of smoking and obesity in his state, where “our life expectancy in Indiana has declined in recent years.” In Arizona, Katie Hobbs, the newly-elected Democratic governor, warned of “potential catastrophe that will happen in just a few months” if lawmakers do not address an education funding cap, while noting the state is facing a “drought unlike anything in modern times.”

    In New York, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, after a closer-than-expected election, warned that inflation was harming Empire Staters. “And on top of that,” she added, “how do you pay the monthly rent, or the mortgage? It’s just so overwhelming for our families.”

  • Kashmir’s last generation of chain-stitch artisans sees no future for the craft

    Srinagar, Jan 17: Traditional chain-stitch craft is witnessing slow death with craft restricted to old generation of artisans.Mohammad Irfan Wani, a chain stitch artist from Malchemar Aali Kadal told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), that his family has been associated with ‘Jalakdozi’ craft for the last 200 years. But he is worried the craft which his forefathers introduced in his family will have no takers now.

    I will be the last person in my family to be associated with the art as none is ready to learn. Also, there is a low demand for chain stitch items. An artisan earns a mere Rs 100-150 per day and they can’t sustain their families,” he said.He blamed the government for its failure in reviving the art.“Our items are reaching every country and demand can increase too. But middlemen are looting both artists and customers and despite repeated requests to the government, no step has been taken to stop this practice,” he said.Gulzar Ahmad (61), another artist from Aali Kadal in Srinagar complained that there is little demand for the chain stitch products.People who have been associated with the art are finding it hard to meet their two ends and most of them have left the trade, he said.Chain stitch is a sewing and embroidery technique in which a series of looped stitches form a chain-like pattern. Chain stitch has been inspired by the enchanting natural beauty of Kashmir, hence motifs like Booen (chinar), Badam (paisley), Yemburzal (narcissus), Daenposh (pomegranate) and Pamposh (lotus) are the most popular and repeatedly employed motifs—(KNO)

    BJY: From beginning to culmination, Rahul’s J&K Plan is hereBig Rallies planned for Jan 19, 23 & 30 in J&K, Congress MP to visit famous Temples, Shrines too

    Jammu, Jan 17: As Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led Bharat Jodo Yatra is set to enter Jammu and Kashmir for its culmination after covering around 4000 kilometers distance, the foot march by the Parliamentarian has certainly become a talking point among the people.

    As per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) Rahul Gandhi will spend around 11 days in Jammu and Kashmir and participate in various public meets, interactions besides visiting famous temples, shrines and iconic spots.Member Parliament Rajya Sabha and Incharge Jammu Kashmir Congress Committee, Rajni Patil informed that Rahul led Bharat Jodo Yatra will be entering into Jammu and Kashmir on January 19, after a grand flag handover ceremony in Punjab’s Pathankot.

    Haryana leg and Punjab leg, the yatra will march into Jammu and Kashmir via Lakhanpur. And will be in the state for almost 11-12 days, followed by a grand function in Srinagar for its successful culmination, where all Congress Chief Minister and Senior leaders of opposition will likely to participate” MP Patil said.She further said that, after entering in J&K, Yatra will be welcomed at Maharaja Gulab Singh’s status at Lakhanpur and then march forward.“The BJY is staying in containers and its first halt will be at Hatli Morh, Kathua. On January 20 it will resume on 7.00 in the morning from Hatli Morch and break at Channi, while the stay will be in Chadwal, she said adding, “January 21 is a break day, while on 22 January, it will further resume from Hiranagar and make night halt at Duggar Havali, Samba.”

    Patil further said that a grand rally is planned on January 23 at Satwari Jammu and nigh halt will be Shidra in the outskirts while on January 24 the yatra will break for two times and night halt is planned at Udhampur.“Similarly, it will resume on January 15 and make its nigh halt in Ramban while itinerary in Kashmir hasn’t been announced fully and still updating,” she said and added that a grand culminating ceremony is planned at Sher-E-Kashmir stadium Srinagar where a large number of people, chief minister of Congress led states, likeminded opposition leaders likely tom participate.A Congress leader informed that the march is planned in such a way that it passes through iconic places and place of religious faiths, where Rahul is likely to visit. However, the party sources added that Rahul is unlikely to visit in outer peripheries and border areas during his visit due to security issues.As per sources security concern for the yatra also mounted as it is set to enter in Jammu and Kashmir, where encounters between terrorists and security forces have often taken place, in the third week of this month.According to party sources, Rahul is unlikely to visit the border belt and Vaishno Devi shrine.However, he will be visiting Raghunath Ji temple, Bawe Wali Mata Temple during his stay in Jammu.Jammu and Kashmir is a crucial state for the Congress as it reaches at a very crucial time, with Assembly elections approaching in near future.The Congress has exhorted “like-minded” groups and individuals to join the march to keep the BJP at bay.The J&K Legislative Assembly was suspended after the BJP fell out with Mehbooba Mufti’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in June 2018.But between 2014 – when the BJP-PDP alliance was struck – and 2018 – when they split – much of the political and demographic landscape in the Valley has shifted.The Gupkar alliance of Kashmiri parties have developed cracks, with the National Conference announcing to go it alone, and the UT has undergone a delimitation exercise.The Bharat Jodo Yatra’s stated goal is to “unite the country” but the Congress is seen to use this massive mass-contact programme to address its existential crisis triggered by the exits of top leaders (the latest being Ghulam Nabi Azad), dissent, infighting (Rajasthan is a case in point) and a string of poll defeats.Launched on 7, September, 2022 from Kanyakumari, the southern tip of the peninsula, to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, spanning 3,570 kilometres, which will come to its end on January 30—(KNO)
