With layoffs happening everywhere, have you been asked to provide a list of your direct reports and rank them in order ? Do you typically get a say in which employee from your team gets to go?

No and no, I’m in the dark as much as they are if I’m being honest.

that's wild!

That hasn't happened yet. At this point there's definitely some worry about layoffs, but nothing that seems to point in that direction. Of course, if the tariffs trigger a legit recession, all of our jobs could be on the chopping block, so who knows what'll happen then. At least we've got World War III to distract us in the meantime.

im glad your company isn't considering layoffs yet!

Yes. I’ve been asked to rank before, and while I gave my input, the final cuts weren’t mine. If you’re ever in that spot, make sure you’re documenting impact and advocating with receipts. Has leadership been transparent about the criteria?

Was it tough for you to give that list? I'm struggling emotionally
