You can tell everything about a company's culture by how they handle layoffs. I’ve seen some handle it with dignity and generous severance, and others lock people out of their laptops at 9 AM with zero notice. The way you fire people is just as important for your brand as how you hire them. If you were laid off, would you ever consider working for that company again in the future?

Agreed. I would gladly accept an offer from JLL again. They Agreed to all severance, made huge pushes to try and redeploy as many people as possible on other accounts, paid out bonuses, helped transition as many as possible to CBRE for those who wanted to stay with the client. Loosing a global RFP while being the primary contract holder is a hard position for a company, attempting a 100% redeployment rate to either another account or to the new contract holder speaks for itself in their professionalism.

I would consider working at the company that laid me off again under the right circumstances. But they gave us a severance and dignity, like you mentioned. If they had just locked me out of the building, I would probably never return.

I was laid off from a company once and I would have considered working there again. I didn't take it personally, and the way they handled things weren't over the line. I haven't worked there again, but if something came along I might consider it. Layoffs have just become part of life, it seems, it can happen to anyone and even organizations we think are secure may not be.

From what I can tell, no mater how they lay you off, right now, any company can find a replacement. Personally I would since it’s so tough to find a job. I would come back.

Couldn’t agree more. Many around me were affected by layoffs and from what I’m hearing there is a huge difference between some of these companies
