Mumbai, October 3: The IT sector has been in disarray in recent months, with some large major firms llaying off thousands of employees. A woman in the United States recently revealed that she was let off from Google while on maternity leave after working for the corporation for over 12 years. Nichole Foley, a former Google recruiting manager, described herself as ''heartbroken and distraught'' after being let off while on leave with her 10-week-old infant.

"After 12.5 years at Google, I unfortunately was impacted while on maternity leave by the Google recruiting layoffs that happened last Wednesday. I am heartbroken & devastated to say the least, especially while on leave with a 10-week-old. I will however be forever grateful for all of my time at Google, and for the AMAZING people I was able to work with who I call my friends & more importantly, my family", she wrote in a recent LinkedIn post. LinkedIn Layoffs: Woman Hired by Microsoft-Owned Job Platform Laid Off Before Joining, Shares Ordeal Online.

Foley, determined to come stronger, asked her community on LinkedIn to offer better prospects for her and welcomed connections. If you know of any Staffing Manager roles in any industry or Program Manager roles, please keep me in mind. I would love to connect with anyone even if there is not a role at this time. The more connections, the merrier. Also if anyone is looking for IC recruiters for any and all industries, please reach out. My team was heavily impacted and they are incredible recruiters, she concluded her post.
