How do people not get worried about layoffs every quarter? Every single time I hear non positive news internally about the pipeline/growth, no matter how small, I think I should be leaving

As somebody who as been laid off due to a shift in company strategy, you only worry about what you can influence.

If you get laid off, you find another job. Not that complicated.

Sounds simple unless someone is on visa

These days the only non-positive news I keep hearing is that we don't have enough staff which probably helps your chance of keeping your job.

I’ve been laid off so many times in my mind…

At some point you just become numb to it.

No point worrying about it. But as someone who is constantly "glass half-full" I do think about it when deciding if I should make a large commitment/purchase.

After rejecting big companies like Infosys,Wipro, etc. I've joined EPAM Anywhere due to wfh permanently and it's perks. But after spending 1 and half month HR called me to search the opportunity outside of EPAM, means they're laying off people. It's unfair behaviour of the organisation. I've given some interviews they're playing interview interview with me, for the hiring process technical interview then for project - technical interview, client process - starts from 1st Round.EPAM Systems

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.
