Has anyone negotiated with a company to get laid off? It’s such a toxic environment and it’s affecting my well being, but I don’t want to quit and miss out on the benefits. Seems like the company wants to fire me as well, but probably scared to do so because I’m a protected class. I just want to leave

Have you looked into going on medical leave? I'm not sure where you are located but in Canada you mostly need to talk to your doctor or therapist and decide if a leave would be right for you. Then, with their note or whatever, you can take leave for that amount of time. If the environment is negatively affecting your mental (and most probably physical) health it's something to consider

I don't know if you really can negotiate a layoff. You may just have to start looking around for another job with good benefits. It's tough to work in a toxic environment - Good luck.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
