Joined a company 10 months ago, soon learned they lay off during lean season post-July. Stayed hopeful, did well—got 4/5 rating, hike, and “Manager of the Quarter.” Now, hearing I might be let go mid-August. A senior hinted quietly. Interviews are lined up, but I fear losing leverage if I’m out of a job. Thinking of taking leave to job hunt discreetly. What reason can I give for leave without raising suspicion? Suggestions welcome.

Sick leave.
By the way why are they letting you go?

Seems like they let people
In management go in off season. They did the same to last manager in last August. Unfortunately there is no way to know this untill you have joined an organisation and by then it’s too late to do anything.
