Handling layoffs

Handling layoffs- Grapevine

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

PMs, how do you make yourself layoff proof?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Didn’t they go through a major layoff recently.

Staff Engineer

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)

With all the layoffs news, how do u cope when…

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.

Manager doing layoff

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?

Do you folks tell about layoff to HRs

Is it good idea to reveal that you were impacted by layoffs? Do HRs lowball the offers when they know who are in need. I get too many calls because of being immediately available but when it comes to money all have same trend not sure is it do with my situation or markets situation..if I don't reveal what excuses do I make?

How laid off candidates are treated in job market

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

People who have been laid off, how severely are you getting undercut from a new company

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!

Layoffs Pros

Are management jobs less prone to be laid off in future as compared to Tech roles?

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.

Growth Manager

Although you become the face of layoffs and you have to abide by what's instructed, how do you personally feel after a event like mass layoff?

What steps do you take to avoid or minimise the impact in such cases?

HRs how do you feel after layoffs?

Product Owner

I want to understand (probably recruiters and folks who switch a lot can answer) if PM / SPM salaries have taken a hit due to so many layoffs, poor hikes, fear of losing job, etc. 
Want to know how much has it been impacted? And what is the new norm? Say for a PM / SPM with 4-6 years of experience, what should be the salary expectations now (vs 1.5 yrs before)?

I have recently got an offer for category manager in swiggy mall. Is it safe to accept this offer as of now considering all the news that is going on, in the market? 

Are they also planning layoffs from Swiggy mall, and how is the work culture for this. Any insights will help.

Is swiggy Mall good place to work?

Business Development Manager

I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of layoffs. Even the ones who laid off are not that concerned than the ones who comment.

Laid off employees literally get free money upwards of 10 lakhs in many cases of senior developers who are laid off from top tech startups. Companies pay severance equal to 3-6 months salary of laid off employees. Some even offer other benefits as well.

I personally know a couple of Devs who got around ~9-10L in severance pay. So, yeah if there are layoffs happening in funded tech startups or leading tech companies, considering their pay range, laid off employees get handsome severance pay including employee benefits

Layoffs a big deal? Positive side of layoffs

Hope you get laid-off & get a good severance package! Will see how your job search goes.

What are generally the metrics used during layoffs ?

Is it division by division or each employee is vetted for his performance and contributions ?

Do high salaried folks generally targeted even if they have good performance and history with company ?

With the overall bleak atmosphere in startup ecosystem and lack of transparency in this process from employers wanted to know how are decisions made. Most say it is performance based in news, how true is that ?

Layoff Parameters

Last December there were planned layoffs at Cisco which was known to everyone in advance along with the dates and the percentage of people to be laid off. This seemed fair at the time.

Now they have laid off people on a random Monday with no prior information or any talks in the company about the same, managers just told that people who are affected have been informed and not to spread rumours, etc (all managers lingo).

Most people were in a higher position in Tech and PMs(as per what I have heard), but surprisingly the managers were not involved and no one knows the criteria of layoff(upper execs did the layoffs). The performance issue was not the cause(confirmed by the manager) then what is the criteria?

Does anyone here have any idea what these people see when they do the layoffs? Assuming the project is still on, and the person did not have any performance issues? I am curious.

FYI - I wasn't affected (luckily).

More layoffs at Cisco

I am expecting an offer from GoTo for a senior data science role. How good is the culture and whether they provide mobility to SG ? Safe to join GoTo given they had layoffs recently?  Thanks

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.
