Handling layoffs

With talks of PMs not being required last year, to crazy layoffs scene and PM hiring being the indicator of industry hiring scene, how do you folks deal with the anxiety? With PM hiring being skewed towards supply side, do you think about contingency plans in case you are fired? Too much anxiety being a PM with 5 years experience and salary being the only income source.

Someone in ur team or someone u had good relationship (work wise) with gets laid off? Do u discontinue working as hard? Does ur team velocity decrease or increase as everyone does better for survival? Just wanna hear from folks who have gone through this and does employer not see any affect in work? (E.g. Twitter case)

Checking if there is anyone here who has had to layoff people... How did you do take it mentally and emotionally? Looking for answers from middle managers and HR folks who have to execute decisions taken by others.

How the HRs react if you tell them you were laid off, please share your experience? Also, what other reason we can give for looking out for change in less than 5 months?

I’m talking to recruiters who are reaching out for roles in Edtech(non tech), either they are under cutting the salary severely or say the salary is very high. Is this happening to anyone, YOE: 5, 17L. Disc- not complaining, just curious

I recently laid off, sometime ago. I was privileged enough so didn't really complained about it. But what i realised is: "Everyone should get laid off once in a lifetime." Reason being you stop being emotional about your job. Some people have a habit to treat job as a the only purpose their life has. Basically job gives them the validation which they never received from anyone. Also you realize the hard truth that you are just a number. "Resource" as they aptly call you. You realize your life has many dimensions than just serving someone. Quite an experience i would say, Kuch din to guzariyen lay offs mein!

Hi folks. Have there been any recent layoffs at Yubi in the product team? Lots of CVs floating around and plenty of people using LinkedIn Premium.

Has anybody here experienced a layoff that has kept up your love for the company. I’ve had a bad one that was done in 30 mins with a meagre severance and assets/accesses removed in 10 mins with a legal binding about a non social media disclosure Not mentioning which company for obvious reasons.
