Layoff is a part of IT industry. Don't think about layoffs. It's completely dependent on project and client need. Just give your 100% and keep learning. I was in IBM for 3.2 yrs and it's was good. So be positive.

I agree, I think there's no point worrying about it. If we knew, we'd post it but really...nobody knows. Layoffs are not as common as think they are anyway

I don't believe they are planning official layoffs at the moment, but who knows. Worrying about it won't get you anywhere, so try to relax.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?

I booked a mat leave coverage that was supposed to run from June-Aug.
