Layoffs were just announced at Microsoft earlier this week, and it looks like my org is fine. However, I’m paranoid - two weeks ago I got a 1:1 schedule invitation from my skip manager’s manager, scheduled for next Tuesday. When I got it, I thought it was just a adhoc chat with my org leader since I’m relatively new to the company and had an informal welcome coffee chat with her just a week before. However, given the waves of layoffs, I can’t help but to be paranoid. Am I overthinking?

When will be the next round of Digital Nexus layoffs in Montvale?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you

Hi!!
I am looking for a referral for Marketing/Product management role, lost previous job in a layoff.
YOE: 2.5

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

For people who have a lot of friends, do you make the effort or it comes naturally?
