What’s your policy on asking about layoffs during an interview. I want to know the company’s real stability, but I don’t want to come off paranoid. I feel like everyone’s pretending not to notice the news cycle.

I think it's fair to bring up if they've happened recently or are currently happening. I wouldn't bother asking if they will be happening at some point in the future since you're unlikely to get a straight answer.

I’d ask more along the lines of company growth or long-term plans. They aren’t going to address the possibility of future layoffs, and bringing up anything that happened before should speak for itself.

Look. I work for a FAANG as you can see. We just laid off 14k plus and it is a topic of conversation during interviews. We are still hiring (more junior and ai focused people ) and if I am not asked about it I will bring it up as it’s the elephant in the room.

I also explain that the company rebalances teams and roles a reorganizes to (hopefully) deliver better for customers and partners and nothing is guaranteed Thus far I have not had anyone exit the process.
