I think being humane is running the business in such a way that you don't need to do massive, periodic layoffs. I think it's more kind to only hire the employees that you need rather than over-hire and then have to horribly disrupt peoples' lives by laying them off.

Very true,sadly it’s easier said than done..too many people overhire to show the size of their portfolio,only to get promoted and fire them afterwards

My last employer laid off my entire department. They sent us an email saying that we would have to delete the job from our LinkedIn account or they would take away our severance.

wow,unbelievable..talk about not being humane..

I just received a verbal offer as a program manager at vp level from a US BB in London. Unfortunately the number was a round down of my current pay. I’m currently a business manager in banking and thinking to move to the program manager role as a step towards more broader opportunities in the future (COO, consulting type of roles).
Should I accept the offer?
The HR told me that there will be opportunities for promotion in the next 12 to 24 months.
