Has anyone negotiated a clause where you can’t be fired/laid off for a certain amount of time after starting a new job?

I haven't, but wouldn't blink at doing so if the hiring company was trying to poach me from elsewhere. If you have a guaranteed, stable job or booking and someone comes knocking, why not?

Also, I would ask for a payment guarantee vs. an employment guarantee.

Thank you! Yes that’s what I was trying to figure out. Especially when the economy feels so damn unstable.

No but holy cow would that be a red flag if a candidate brought that up. What exactly were they planning?

So like, tenure, but for new employees?

A friend took a job on an account that was infamous for asking leaders off the business. They struck a deal that if they were asked off within a set time, the holding company would find them a comparable role. So it's possible to do it if you are business-critical and you're in a role that is recognized as difficult. And those are big ifs.

A bit of context... I got an offer from a much smaller firm and I’m worried about the stability if I end up taking it.

I had an opportunity to relocate. I asked for that. One year guaranteed in Seattle (moving from Los Angeles). They said that was not an option. Ultimately I got the offer and used it as leverage to get a raise and stay put in Los Angeles.

That’s amazing.

I’ve negotiated guaranteed severance that goes down over time. So, a one year severance that goes to an 11-month severance after 30 days and so on, and then held at 3 months. Basically guaranteeing one year salary after starting, and three months severance after that. Of course if I violated policies or egregiously imploded that would void the agreement. But I was relocating with family and for an executive role (hence the three months after)

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

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.
