Just had a brutal moment of realisation that my company doesn't care about any of us. There is talk going around about a layoff and budget cuts, and when we requested a meeting about it, they said, "All we can say is that some of our roles will be restructured in the near future". The script went from we want you all to be the torchbearers of this legacy to "oh I guess we can move on without you:

I’m sorry this was the first time you’ve experienced that, but I hope you find a healthy balance from it. Businesses are in business. They will not sacrifice that for employees.

Yikes, that's not a good sign. I'm sorry. It sounds like it's time to start applying and connecting with your network. Hopefully your job won't be getting "restructured," but if the worst comes to pass and it is, you don't want to be caught flatfooted.

Hi! 23 year old BDR here, got laid off from a seed stage start up - my first lay off ever, yay. surprised, sad, and lost now. looking for a remote SDR/BDR position now, my mom just started chemo so I can’t go into the workplace for a while and need to help her at home. If anyone can help with a referral or knows any open positions, please dm me. Graduated from UCLA last year, 3 months experience as a BDR for SaaS, hungrier than ever to sell and help my family out. Thank you!

Expecting an offer today from Deloitte consulting (commercial). Would love to hear tips and advice on how to react to the call and negotiate/what to negotiate more for. I was laid off back in the fall and will 100 percent take the offer - super excited!! But don’t want to show my emotions. TIA

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

My LinkedIn feed was absolutely filled with layoffs today. What happened? A month or two ago it was a candidate’s market and the offers were great but now everything has shifted. I was informed that I am not getting a promotion that I was gunning for, and when I pushed back about being fairly compensated for my work the response about it not being a good time to ask was really ominous. Anyone else feeling bummed?

Hi all.
Has anyone in
IBM been on bench for more than 4 months here?
I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.

And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?

I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.

Thanks in advance

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
