Lay offs are usually ally more about positions being cut than who they like best. At least that’s been my experience. I try not to take layoffs personally. They happen. Take time to grieve the loss and then start looking again. You’ll find something and maybe it will even be better than where you were at. Good luck!
I have gone through quite similar experience as well. Usually sometimes building a good rapport can hit back as easy to spot target because you are easily available and doesn’t push back much and keep accepting the work. So it’s easy target spot for management to start with. What I have learnt is your skill should be unique and in demand instead of just keep accepting any kind of work that is easily replaceable.
Good perspective. Sometimes we think we built rapport/trust and that may well be the case but then financial troubles surface and they cut you because you're too expensive.
I was terminated 80 days before my 25th anniversary from a DIY moving company. There was a serious power grab of 3 clowns literally destroyed my career. An evolution of changing an OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Implementing AD and the final piece was to add Meraki. Mind you this was all at once for the customer facing point of sale. Looming busy moving season just a couple months away. The aforementioned clowns were summarily dismissed from the company less than 6 months later. My career was literally destroyed for NOTHING! Am I bitter? Damn right!
I have been laid off two times in my career. The first time i was at corp offices for large retailer for 22 years. It hit out of the blue....was told they are eliminating my job. Turns out I did such a great job setting up a new department, that they figured a team lead can run it. The second time was last month, after 8 years at a large PC company. This was a move to outsource my position to mexico. What I have learned is the following....
1) It's never personal....we are all just numbers on a spreadsheet.
2) The first layoff was a blessing in disguise, as I left the retail industry for the IT industry. I have made so many contacts within IT, that I'm not worried about finding another job.
I feel for you, but this happens all the time....it's not an easy thing to go through.
It’s not you it’s them. Good performer. Personable. In a role deemed unnecessary.
