Signaling: The Language Peacocks, Gazelles, and Humans All Speak

We are constantly signaling. Every minute of the day, we send signals to others to convey that we are intelligent, successful, attractive, healthy, well-adjusted people with impeccable taste. We signal to our bosses, coworkers, partners, friends, family, strangers on the street - just about everyone. Usually, we can't just tell people we have a particular positive quality. Talk is cheap and most people have no reason to believe us. We only rely on straightforward assertions when the stakes are low. Plus, there are few things less appealing than bragging. So instead of telling others who we are and how great we are, we use signals.

A job at any cost: With largescale layoffs across India, there is an air of desperation

It's not a good time to be a techie. Last week, shortly after Cognizant said that it would sack two per cent of its global staff — an estimated 12,000 people, most of whom are in India — by 2020, Infosys announced its plans to let go of between two and five per cent of its employees, or some 10,000 people, from the mid-to-senior levels. Unlike previous cycles of redundancies, where layoffs were confined to the lowest strata of the company, this time some 50 senior leaders may also lose their jobs. It isn't just the IT industry.
