I did not but tomorrow is my last day. I feel for all those laid off earlier this week. Some of my responsibilities were to go up to my manager and they were let go. I only found out when I tried to schedule a transition meeting with them and got a bounce back email. The leaders make decisions that the teams then have to take more workload on from those who were displaced while clients are upset that vital team members have been let go. It's a roll down hill situation.

Glad someone is leaving on their own accord. Good luck.

ANOTHER round of lay offs? Senior leadership suck at managing their balance sheets, overhead, Client retention. But if those eliminated roles are client funded FTEs what's their rationale? Drum roll....manage company stock price to keep share holders "happy". With no big client wins, losing clients, no organic revenue growth so you have to cut OH.

Guess there is NO distinction between what comes out of my butt and some senior leadership's mou.....any who i'll digress. Peace and blessings. A lay off every quarter for past 2 or 3 years is crazy tho. When's the next one? Pre Q0 2026 RF? 🤷🏾‍♂️

What roles can I look into that are less demanding but still pay well. For context I make around 76k right now and would like to increase that. Am I stuck in recruiting? I currently work for a big name firm. Do you have any company suggestions to look into where recruiting might not be as overwhelming and stressful where it won’t consume my life.
