Quit? Hell no. Unless you have a better offer somewhere else. Ride that wave and get severance, always.

I’ve been laid off 3 times. Always received a nice package and have never been questioned when interviewed at new opportunities. @AD1, you can always negotiate for a larger severance if you don’t sign anything right away. If you are laid off vs fired - they don’t want to burn a bridge, you were worth the role, they just can’t afford to keep you.

Start interviewing, but don’t quit. You can apply for unemployment benefits if you’re let go + severance, so much safer to wait or get a better offer.

Lol I'm a professional, I would never not to my job.
But so were some of the people they claimed were underperforming, and let go. It doesn't make sense.

What state are you in? In nyc if you're let go you can almost always get unemployment unless the employer can prove that you did something wrong. Even if they say that they're getting rid of you because you weren't capable of doing your job well, you can still get unemployment. NY considers that if an employer offers you a job and you turn out not to have the experience they need, that's their fault for hiring the wrong person, not yours, so you still get unemployment. Also, you should always apply for unemployment even if your employer says that you don't qualify. In NY at least, the unemployment office determine your eligibility, not the company. The company has to prove why you aren't eligible for unemployment, and if they can't, they have to give it to you.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
