Has anyone ever negotiated a layoff contingency clause? In negotiations with a VP level job at a smaller public company (10B MC). Am 45/55 to leave BCG, and a guarantee to not be laid off or have a significant parachute if a recession persists might put me over the edge, but don’t know how common or likely that is.

I’ve never heard of someone negotiating immunity to layoffs. Usually at will employment cuts both ways.

I would instead negotiate for a clause that guarantees pay for 6 months or longer when laid off unexpectedly that can give you enough runway to find a next gig. Basically you want the BCG transition benefit. Can’t think they would agree to anything else. Good luck

“If a recession persists” ..unemployment is less than 4%. What recession are you referring to?

If the FED slams the breaks, you’ll quickly see the recession. We’ve already seen layoffs and hiring freezes.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs?

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
