My friend got laid off today. He was told to not come to office from tomorrow. No explanation given even after a good performance review.
Why companies are so bad at treating employees like people.

If he has passed his probationary period tell them to get a lawyer

@daarkfall In India better to find a new job than to hire a lawyer. Justice system is messed up.

@HPSingh was this an IT related field?sounds like an uneven distribution (or representation) of supply and demand in India.

@greenhouse no he was working in SharePoint. Lots of developers in india but really difficult to find good ones. So yeah there is a supply and demand problem.

Get a tribunal for unfair dismissal.

It's been my experience that companies don't just let go of good people like that.

It's also been my experience that sometimes you let go of someone because they are bad / disruptive / negative / malicious / dangerous etc but they tell their friends and family that they are a great, conscientious worker and are the victim of workplace malpractice.
