I’m in the same boat. It’s tough. I’m just going to ride it out for a bit, keep my head low, try to get some good work made and finesse my book. Clock out at 5 too, or earlier if you can, live your life.

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

1:1 with my boss, one of the areas of improvement was: “be more vocal”.

Just wanted to vent it, and say for all the leaders out there, if you want us to be more vocal, give us a chance to be heard with our own voice and truth
