Does anyone have any thoughts or predictions on what company or org will be the first one to take advantage of all the recent layoffs? At this point there are thousands of good people out there. I feel like someone must be plotting a way to make use of all the available talent? They can't all be laying people off right?

? Thousands of recruiters were laid off between July 2022 and December 2023. Some found new roles, contract work or experienced a 2nd layoff. Not all have found new roles.

It's just hard for me to believe that every company and every organization is struggling and cutting back on hiring. Like stocks, the smart ones will "buy" when times are bad. I apply this to the current job market and think there has to be someone out there ready to expand and take their pick of top talent.

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

I have been laid off going on 3 months now and I’ve never felt so discouraged in my life. This job hunt for me has been frustrating and draining. It really has taken a toll on my mental health and maybe even confidence. I feel like I’m losing momentum. Any advice on staying positive throughout this journey? It’s so hard to stay upbeat and motivated at times.
