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 am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.
