I should have known when there was the payroll “glitch” or when I got moved to the basement
For me there wasnt. I was told I was doing well and then randomly one day had a "Performance Discussuon" meeting put on my calendar... which really should have been labeled "Layoff Discussion."
Same, except mine said “Career Discussion”. I received it on my birthday and got the news the next day.
That’s the mark of poor management. I make sure I act normal and friendly up until the last day with my people.
In my experience management doesn’t even know (at least direct management)
When I was laid off I figured it out 3 days earlier based on clues just like that among others. Trust your gut, but you can also just make it so they can’t avoid you and see what happens.
Your supervisor will start distancing themselves from you.
Well, however obvious it is beforehand, at least nowadays it can be done in a Zoom. Must be way more awkward to be laid off in person.
Actually, it’s not. I feel like it’s much more humane
Back in the day before teams, etc. We had a guy that would come in to do the layoffs. Saw him twice in 3 years but what a weird vibe. Anyway there may or may not be signs. Not sure why we can't be adults and just tell someone in person.
