There should be strict labour laws against these practices. This is way beyond any ethics.

In Indian IT industry there are no labour rule and no policy regarding the same. The laws which exists today are heavily backdated and are for manufacturing industry which is pretty much dead.

Sorry to hear that my friend,i hope and pray that you won't be affected by these worrisome new developments and that you'll be successful in making the transition from your present employer to a better one by the end of this year.

People are just slaves to these companies.

Is such cutting common even in hardware/support departments? Or only in software development?

This news is not fully correct. Yesterday I contacted one of my ex colleague who is now working in IBM. STG people were intimated 3 months before. They have also been given 3 lakhs job compensation.
