Hearing that the firm is firing across levels because of too much hiring initially, are the rumours true?

[Moderator note: this post about a rumour about Khaitan is likely not true, or at least at this point there has been no credible information received that there is substance to the rumour]
Cam isn't firing. But someone from khaitan did reach out to me asking for vacancies.
CAM cannot afford to fire anyone.They hold onto every employee with fevikwik because the attrition is so bad.
You can reach out to one of your insiders. They can give you a list of all recent "exits" vs number of recent hires.
Exits are not the same as a mass firing though, no? Can those exits be explained by other factors and are they significantly higher than the average?
Can someone please confirm? Would it affect incoming A0s from the 2023 batch (not just at KCO but across law firms?)

LOL. While there are several underperformers in the firm, firm has never fired nor will ever fire anyone. Thatโ€™s just not who they are.
They wonโ€™t fire.. theyโ€™ll stop giving you work / wonโ€™t promote / give shitty bonus and/or increment
Spot on. You forgot the part where you are ignored and other associates are told shit about you that you leave by yourself.
This is so cruel. Do the partners talk shit about one associate to another or who is it that does this ?
That's not new though, that's been Khaitan's leave-them-to-sink-in-the-pool approach for years
is there firing at partner levels also??? was โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ partner Mumbai fired or he left on his own??

Moderator please moderate the comments fast. If this is fake, please remove immediately
Kindly moderate faster. Why are we not hearing these murmurs in office :/
I have recently joined the litigation practice and have seen string of resignations recently. Can someone shed some light on this?
Firing or not. We have received few CVs from associates. Makes one wonder why is a tier 1 associate applying to tier 2 firms.
CAM has a perpetual firing policy.The problem with CAm is it keeps firing the junior employees when it should be firing the useless senior employees who don't know anything about the law.
Any more clarity on this anyone? Please tell if things are alright in Khaitan - currently evaluating an offer. The supposed firings relate to which office and which practice?
Don't! A number of associates are being threatened about their time utilization. It is not the associates problem if the firm does not have work. That's the job of partners to ensure their team has adequate work. You'd better opt for any other option.
It is a real shame if a firm which claims to be India's largest does not have work. Same thing is happening with many other firms throughout India, and they have the temerity to blame the Associates and their quality of work product for them not being given enough work, while only prioritising and giving importance to those who shout out loud in the centre of the office things like "let's grab coffee from starbucks, how much did you get that Gucci / LV bag for, your apartment complex looks really posh" etc.... Sad state of affairs when a person with more money, and willing to spend lavishly on their seniors (or at least those who are seen as being rich and indulging in lavish spending) get more work for only that reason and those who are seen as coming from a not very posh background are deliberately ignored, relegated to the sidelines and viewed with suspicion at all times.
This is bull shit. They're asking for CVs everywhere. Therefore, this news is definitely incorrect.
