WTF i'm really hoping this is fake
A quick search returning several news articles suggests it's real. Pretty gross.
All the articles I've visited just write about the image in the OP and state that they haven't verified the claims, f.e:
However, India Today could not independently verify the authenticity of the viral screenshot of the email.

Also interesting to how at least one reposter seem to be a digital marketer.
"Shitiz Dogra, Associate Director of Digital Marketing at IndiGo"
I wouldn't be surprised if this is all fake and meant to spread the company name.
It could very well be a PR stunt but the content in the OP is "real" in the sense that it matches what's being reported and isn't photoshopped or something.
Right, I'm not accusing OP of faking his content. I'm stating the possibility of the original poster from linkedin spreading a lie for the sake of publicity.
Very possible, arguably even probable.
And now articles telling us it wasn't real has started showing up.

Most certainly is fake.
That can't possibly be a real name.
Not that this wouldn’t happen, but for me the screenshot looks a bit edited (though I’m just viewing on my phone): look at the clarity of the text in the email, then at the signature and logo. Might be that somebody just swapped out the text in an image editor.
India? The HR teams here are worse than cartels. Heartless.
I don’t think it’s that easy to “effective immediately “. I know my company managed problem employees out over months. Employees in India are much better protected than in the US.

And filing a case because you were illegally fired could take decades
It's not fake. Search it and full articles will come up
And that's how disinformation killed the Information Age.
Edit: Come on. You lot shouldn't need my help finding a verifiable source yourselves. If there's so many articles on it, I'm sure you can find at least one verifying the source without my help. Or you can subscribe to an ad populum fallacy and believe a mass of articles presenting no actual evidence. You'll find the answers to the questions you ask me with your own initiative. I believe in you!
So is it real or not?
nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about, strawberry fields forever
So is it real or fake?
It's internet real...
Somebody really posted that on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/shitizdogra_firing-layoffs-job-activity-7271758403717214211-l-FG/
And if you search on LinkedIn for "Ashu Arora Jha" there is an account that looks real.
Whether or not it actually real and not just internet real is anybody's guess. But it's not something OP made up anyway.
