Why do you think product design/user experience is more impacted?

like

@bcg 1, possibly because clients may be less willing to pay for product enhancements and companies may be fine using the current UI for the next 6 months to a year.

Some marketing, hr and ops roles. Sales roles will prob be their own demise in the next quarter or two.

Administrative and support staff numbers plummeting across industries

I mean - easiest way to understand is imagine that you are in free fall with no projected revenue over next three months. Where would you make major cuts?

SG&A for sure- marketing, recruiting, things that are driven by variable business volume
Less so things like finance and accounting which have more of a fixed structure, although nonessential support roles here may go to.
I’d imagine sales staff will be the other major bucket you missed as companies reevaluate the short term channel strategies. Ie If you had a ton of field sales people on-site, may be rethinking that strategy and furloughing.

I realized most of my anxiety or depression stems from a lack of career fulfillment. I recently started a new position and things were going great till they restructured my group and laid off a few on my team.

Now I'm always looking over my shoulder and too concerned about screwing up. In the past, I have been laid off & I can't help reading too much in to every single email. My therapist made me aware of this but I'm looking for coping tools that someone in my situation has found useful. HELP!

Hi all! I posted here a couple months ago right after getting laid off. It’s been almost 3 months of applying, and no luck. I am starting to get worn out, and I feel the imposter syndrome creeping in. I feel like I need to revamp my resume again. Anyone interested in looking at it? I am looking for operations, project management, or program management roles.

Laid off from my marketing manager role (specializing in global events and special projects) on June 27th as retaliation for calling out a leader to HR who wanted me to “resign” in mid July. Before I go the route of cashing out my retirement account just to make sure we don’t lose our apartment, anyone hiring for something as basic as a remote project coordinator role at least so I can keep bills paid and still have time for school?
