What is a change management consultant? Funny one with that strange title would ask a “change management” question.

Did you like working for the company? Why did you get laid off? Did you like the work you were doing there and prospective opportunities?

These are questions you should ask yourself to get the answer

If I was laid off, no. There’s a reason it happened in the first place. Move on and enjoy some new experiences

Don’t give them the benefit. Move on

That’s masochism, OP.

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.
