I guess it’s starting, was just pulled off a proj due to “limited resources”. Hearing there’s a hiring freeze across the industry. I’ve only been employed for a year, are we all about to get laid off?

Oh please, P1. This is maybe a month or two blip on the radar. If the firm were to do this it’s incredibly shortsighted. It costs much more to rehire and train new people than to wait it out a month or two. It would just be terrible business and decision making for them to lay off.

Although, since getting into this industry it’s shocking to me how most decisions made by these firms are like they’re running a business in the 1980’s. Nothing would really surprise me.

There are quite a few companies now hiring. They realize once this ends in a month or so business will go back to normal if not drastically increase. That is what you call good decision making.

I don’t think the entire company will get laid off. Some people may get laid off. But i wouldn’t stress yet, especially if you’re junior. You’re restaffable and not that expensive (unlike well, me...😓)
