Really excited to see this dichotomy in action:

Company A: “due to business environment we have to lay off 10% of staff.”

Also Company A: “Hey LinkedIn! come to our fancy suite at CES.”

Also Company A: “Hey, you know how we laid off 10% of our staff? Well, we’re looking to hire 5 - 8% back but at salaries of $20k to $30k less than what we were originally paying.”

“We should have budgeted for our actual employees months ago when we were buying space at CES. Oops! Our bad!”

They planned and budgeted for the CES booth 9 months ago...

...you think the business environment didn't change in the past 9 months?
Also, CES is a marketing spend that will ultimately generate revenue. Some employees are just a cost center.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

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.
