I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Fears of a recession are reasonably causing people to take a second look at their job security. Seeing as many lawyers are working in specialty tax within PA how many of you are worried about a potential slowdown/layoffs within specialty tax? If not why do you feel you won’t be as affected?

Tbh...you allude to your self worth being defined by your job. I recommend therapy because this sounds like a traumatic experience and to also rework how you see and value your worth. Lastly, i would reflect on whether there were any signs or indicators of a potential layoff. At the end of the day recognize that an employee is a business to business contract. Also reflect on the false marketing by companies that employees are family or the manipulative tactic of saying employees must be loyal to a company but not the opposite. Sorry this happened and good luck on your journey.
Any company that says “we’re a family” I’d run away from. That’s a signal that you’re going to be expected to put work above anything else in your life, but will never have that reciprocated by your leadership. Agree with the original response though: despite building a team from scratch and feeling a lot of pride in your work, defining yourself by your job is not a great idea.

I started my career in the very early 2000s when layoffs were common. I saw then that favorites were kept and the ones who were hardest working and committed let go. I learned that companies were two faced expecting you to go hard for them while not thinking twice about you when it counts. Grieve the job loss then use it to fuel your search. And never go out if your way for anyone except when it counts. Pick and choose who you invest in. Invest in yourself first and a job last.
