My company fired the VP of sales and an active sales person in the last week. When do you think they will be coming for operations department cuts next?

Usually Operations and hourly are first to be trimmed so maybe there was another reason.

Thanks for the insight. They did let go a coordinator before this and moved another coordinator to a different department.
There was a recent change in ops mgr (not a nice guy to work for, generally toxic to the team) and being there 7+ years, spoke with department lead about it, she says they have low volumes otherwise no worries, but I don't trust it. I just want to leave while still employed to avoid an employment gap.

You shouldn’t have to worry about the employment gap these days, but I completely understand the concern you have about the chopping block.

I watched a whole department get laid off at one of my previous companies then did some digging into that employers recent activities, they sold off a lot of the assets (warehouses and other physical holdings) plus the lay off told me run as fast as you can as far as you can


Company was then sold about a year later and a lot more people lost their jobs but I was at another brokerage already so I felt ok about my not waiting around to find out if I made the cut

You should be safe. As other comment stated, Operational staff are usually let go first. Sales usually last....Corp are like gambling junkees thinking the bag of glue salesman might nose out a win afterall while letting the stable staff go.....

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete.

Do you have model to share?
