What are signs your company/office is close to shutting down? My current office has been in the red since October of last year. Morale is WAY down. Our senior leadership still sticks to gaslighting to keep us working on BD. Even our Head over our entire office that’s typically taking vacations has been in office more regularly and trying to get us to work harder. I just don’t feel secure in this role anymore and feel like everyone’s job is on the line.

We’ve had a RIF by 30%, downsized our product offering, and our operating costs are double revenue but can still somehow continue to pay the executive team hundreds of thousands of dollars (plus bonus & stock grants). If you’re public, check the SEC filings, particularly form 8-K. Despite promoting a “culture of positivity” from the top down, my personal morale is low and I am looking for new work due to personal investigations and opinions.

I think it's been the feeling fora long time, I'd keep your head down, keep performing and just see what happens. You can't stress over something you don't fully know. Just keep your options opem

If you're getting that vibe, there's probably some truth to it especially if morale is down. I would start looking at other jobs or get used to the idea of possible relocation.

Is there any talk that the company is going under, other than rumors or speculation? Might be worth asking leadership what's really going on, they owe it to employees if everyone is at risk of being laid off unexpectedly.

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
