HR question: to get fired, there must be a form of corrective action documented leading to termination, correct? Low ratings on EOY is not sufficient for termination for at-will state right?

At will state you can be let go for no reason at all

From experience I can tell you at-will means you can be let go at any time for any (or no) reason. Low rating or low utilization are often cited as the reason.

No reason is required for at-will

"at-will" is the exact definition of letting you go without a reason

^its really semantics and however you choose to spin it. Typically though, former employers (big 4 at least) will only verify start and end dates with new employers. It's up to you to explain the reason for the termination.

like

HR and Legal will typically want documentation for a for-cause firing not because there is a legal reason they can’t let you go but rather to increase their chances of winning a lawsuit that may result from the termination. Low metrics are absolutely a reason that can be cited.

It’s pretty typical for consultancies to let their lowest rated tier go after annual reviews

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it
