Have you all figured out the telltale signs for when you're going to be let go? I asked my manager for a raise because I've spent the last 3 years working my soul away to see this company grow, and all I got was a "we can talk about it soon". It's been a whole week since that conversation, and I don't know why, but my mind is taking me to the conclusion that I'm probably gonna be let go soon.

It’s normal to worry if communication gets vague, delayed replies, sudden silence, “talk soon” are all just not very easy to go through. But sometimes managers are just busy or avoiding tough topics. Keep documenting your value and check in again to clarify where you stand.

When you get put on a PIP that is a pretty sure sign that you are probably going to be let go. I don't think they usually put you on those with intentions of you getting off of it.

A lot of time it’s blindsided. Each leader is told to cut 10% by cSuite often and tough choices need to be made. Leaders don’t want to do this so it can come at surprise. Weakest links go first.

What can you do? Be a top performer. Ensure you’re better than your peers and your manager likes you. Might have to swallow your pride if you want to survive.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Is it a good strategy to do it this way because NIW is more certain and gets a place in the line? Am I missing something? Should I instead file an EB1A directly?

Also, any good law firm suggestions for EB1A petitions based academic credentials? Thanks for the help

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
