I am worried that I will be out of a job at the end of the year. Looking for advice on my next steps.

The company I work for was purchased by a larger company at the start of the year. We were given a bonus at the start of the year and promised another bonus if we stayed on until the end of the year.

It’s getting late in the year and I haven’t been in recent meetings that relate to my department, none of my team has.

Crummy feeling. Get prepared. Talk to recruiters. Don’t wait. At the very least you could save yourself several months of looking.

Man, I’m sorry, I will be taking your advice and getting out there.

Agree with CD1. Sorry to hear! Definitely start reaching out and looking, even to just get resume/portfolio up to date and flex your interviewing muscles. Even if you’re not ready to leave and haven’t been let go yet, you’re a bit more prepped IF it happens. Good luck!

Thank you for the tip, does this sound like it’s heading for a layoff?

Has anyone had an experience like this? With the bonus system and what happened at the end of the year?

IBM?

Sorry, not IBM
