What’s the future for jobs in organizational change management?

I was a recruitment manager that was laid off by Meta in 2022. I took a job in IT but outside tech as a project manager and was just offered a promotion into a new role being created in, “organizational change management”.

It sounds cool, and I have experience in biz dev and organizational development, but this is new to me and I don’t want to find myself pigeon-holed or worse, on the chopping block if layoffs happen again.

This type of job is one of the first cut because it's a luxury not a necessity. It's also typically pretty thankless. Most people want to just do their work, not get dragged into workflows about changing their existing workflows.

I have a friend who is an experienced Change Manager and she has been looking for a new job for over a year. It is one of those jobs - like Tech Writer or Designer - that is the first to be laid off and the last to be rehired.

The conventional wisdom is that OCM is an ascendant discipline as organizations navigate a lot of changes, ranging from new tech to new employment paradigms. I suppose things like AI coming into the workplace would become an issue, as would handling how people work in hybrid or remote scenarios. In today's world I don't know if anything is layoff proof, but I gather OCM people would have a lot of road ahead of them.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
