Most likely will be laid off next month. Such a sinking feeling because you know it’s coming but leadership doesn’t have the backbone to give a clear answer. This is a tough pill to swallow.

I learned that I will most likely be laid off over the next few weeks as well. I cried the day I found out. Then started applying places and have my first final round this week. This is hard, but think how lucky you are to know this. Many of our colleagues don’t and are in a much worse position. You get a head start. Start looking and apply now. Then, if you don’t get laid off, great.
I know how hard this is, but let’s get ahead of it and stick it to the man.

really everyone should be networking all the time just like what a contractor has to do. because at the end of the day we're all just contractors and are responsible for keeping our own pipelines strong.

Nope non Big4

It’s probably less about backbone and more about leadership trying to figure out a way to not do that

Don't worry about leadership. Be glad you even heard about it through the grapevine and have a head start. I've heard /witnessed way too many companies just drop a bomb on employees one morning. Just focus on improving your skills, sending out resumes by the bucket load, reaching out to your network, saving money to last you for a while, updating your LinkedIn etc. Companies do whatever they want. We gotta look out for ourselves.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
