I recently started a new role, accepted the job because of an awesome interview with the hiring manager who got me really excited about the opportunities at this new company. Been there a short time, and today I find out they are planning to layoff the entire group I’m with because of a restructuring in the next few weeks. I just can’t believe it, need to process the bait and switch.

What company?

So sorry.

Think of the positives, you're game ready for interviewing and I assume you went for more money so you can springboard to an even bigger salary.

Still sucks though.

Total shit situation. If its any solace theres really nothing you could have done to prevent it. This is always a risk that we live under and it seems you just got the bad dice roll this time

Onward and upward

You get severance pay at the least right? You’ll find something new! Good luck
