You should always be looking elsewhere, in fact the best time to do so is when you don’t need to be. Also, how does it hurt you to line up options in case things go south? Worst comes to worst, you get fired but at least you have more interview practice even if nothing produces

Industry firm?

Ahhh gotcha. Agreed with SC I’m doing the same currently just taking calls and interviews for anything interesting. Interviewing is a good skill to practice and respectfully declining an offer if given won’t burn a bridge

HR taps you on the shoulder and asks you if you like apples.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
