Is it a red flag when you ask a company for a raise and they respond with no and mention that they pay the employees they favor slightly less to prevent them from being one of the first to be laid off? I asked for a slight raise due to lack of health insurance included.

I'm sorry.. WHAT? I have never heard of companies intentionally underpaying favored employees to “protect” them from layoffs, they’re basically admitting they tie job security to how cheap you are, not how valuable. Sounds like there's a culture where value isn’t recognized, just minimized. Maybe it's time to reconsider your place in the company.

I would run not walk away from this. Go ahead and pay me what I'm worth and if you lay me off I'll get unemployment. SMH

I wish there was only one red flag here, but I can pick out and name at least 3 from your post alone. I'd be shocked if layoffs were actually happening at your company honestly.

Not a red flag, but definitely on the cusp of not being believable.

Tell them you work less because you're favored and don't want to jeopardize your health due to excess stress.

If you have to ask, you already know. And plus, sounds illegal

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
