Advice please. I may be at increasing risk of layoff due to several changes happening in my group. What things would you do or have you done to prepare in case of layoff? I’ve updated my resume, am connecting with my network, and making sure my benefits are linked to my personal (not work) contact info. Any other tips?

It sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on it. I would add updating your LinkedIn profile, just to make sure it looks well tended. And think about cutting down on expenses. I had problems during the pandemic where I had to revert to some real thrifty behavior, and I pretty much stuck with that. Like Poor Richard said, a penny saved is a penny earned.

Great advice, thank you!

You're already taking great steps, which is key! Another thing to consider is checking your finance. I would build up savings and cutting unnecessary expenses. Also make sure to understand your company's severance and benefits so there are no surprises. If you have trusted coworkers, it's probably helpful to ask if they can be my references for future jobs.
