If God wants you to be layed off then you will be layed off.

In your case, if karma wants to be a bitch then karma shall be a bitch

People who got laid off during the current scenario. What's going on?

Product Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

With news of layoffs coming every day since the last couple of years i was wondering if there is anyone who has been laid off multiple times in their career 
Share your story here if you would like to .

Getting laid off multiple times.

Software Developer

Got impacted in a layoff in Jan. Found a job in 3 months and took up whatever I got.
Now I wish to move from here, because of stability, layoffs happening here also, I haven't been impacted yet. A very small company.

Do I indicate my layoff in my resume by quoting Layoff or let them figure it out by the work period gap?

Resume post Layoff

I worked at a remote start up in digital marketing space and helped them generate huge revenue and creative programs. I always received praise from my team, PODs and Clients. Today in the name of company profits and without proper reason because of my manager's favourism and ass saving of her family n friends working in the company I am told to resign.
I am feeling very broken as I was always getting recognized and I loved to create good brands and now I am disposed like I wasn't there only because of my toxic dalal manager.
Can you all help me what should I do to get a good job at the earliest please sir and madam! I have responsibilities and really need a start.

Got Laid off today!

Analyst

Got laid off a few days back.
Now feeling a little helpless and tensed. 

The company's HR said that they are laying me off because of poor performance and they said that despite continuous feedback sessions (which they did not even conduct nor give me any suggestions/feedback) my performance did not improve. :)

Strategy & operations

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I work at a small scale startup where I interact daily with the CTO whom I directly report.

Recently, he has been giving tighter deadlines for critical projects at work and is not willing to discuss anything related to the scope or timeline of the projects. He just expects me to finish everything in x number of days without asking for even the slightest estimate of the duration.

This has led to me missing due dates for projects which he later blames on me quoting poor performance during reviews. 

Has anyone encountered such problems before? How did you handle it?

Deadlines without discussion

Product Engineer

Just came to know from a friend. How incompetent are management to promote someone to just lay them off citing performance reasons.

Someone who got promoted last cycle got laid off

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

Product Designer

Maybe soon I'll be get laid of by my firm as layoff is ongoing in company and manager also keeping distance from last some days.
How to handle this situation.

Hi

I have worked in two startups as backend engineer and here I only did the given work and didnt proactively contribute much to the products. I have been given promotion to SDE 2 without any salary hike. I recently got laid off and I feel like I am not eligible for SDE 2 interviews. I can clear dsa rounds but suck in design rounds.  I got a job with same salary at a service based company and I am thinking to join and then prepare to be better at design. is it a good decision? should I join it?

YOE: 3y
TC: 24L

joining another company for no hike after getting laid off

I got laid off in Jan. Took 4 months to land a job finally and joined a new company in May.
This new company seems to be silently laying off people now in the name of cost cutting and likely be trying to raise next round of funding although they previously raised previous round in Aug-2022.
Although right now it's more of they need me (my role, I'm the only person of this role) more than I need them, I'm 70% confident that I might not be impacted, but the 30% chance is keeping me sleepless. What do I do? Pretty traumatized from the first layoff.

What should I do?

Hi 
I have been recently laid off from my company they have given me a reason as a lack in my performance overtime although that's not entirely true but to some extent it is.
I think according to my experience as SDE around 4.5 years.I don't have skills and knowledge one should have. I am a SDE 2 sometimes I think I still work and have skills as SDE 1 now I am looking for change 
Struggling with this thought of how to pick myself up as this condition is self inflicted 

How to get back ? Can anyone here help me?

Operations Analytics

Got hints that I’ll be fired

I presented them with an option of taking a lower level position

The next lower level options top band was 40 percent less than my current pay

I took the demotion given the market and personal circumstances.

 If I search for opportunities outside I would have to ask for 60 percent hike

I guess, my salary is corrected forever 😪

I took a demotion

I've been laidoff, searching for a job.
Had stepped out for a walk and I saw my school teacher crossing the road from the other side.
I, being a person who always talks to people, turned my face and sneaked away, not having the confidence to tell someone that I'm unemployed if asked.
Feels bad. 🥲

Layoff severely breaks confidence

Hi all, I was recently impacted by layoffs and am looking for new opportunities. I have 2 years of full-stack Java experience and rank in the top 10% on LeetCode. Any leads would be greatly appreciated🙏🙏

Thanks in advance

Got laid off 😭😭

I used to work in a start up in Bangalore, they overhired in 2022 and overpaid the freshers, more than the experienced engineers were getting paid.
To fix this put 30% of workforce on pip, laid off 20% I was one of them. 2 months later, they did open layoffs, did it again in 2 months, and one of my friends there heard the founders cracking a laugh that even the investors wouldn't have expected us to do this so fast.

I joined another company, they lost the client I was hired for, and few more clients, I was told they will have to do layoffs and my name is in the list. So they asked me to resign and I refused by saying we'll consider a last working day, if I get an offer I'll resign otherwise anyway I'll have to be laid off and they agreed. This happened one month after I had joined this company ( also a startup ).


So, being laid off once was already a big enough punch of reality, with an education loan on my head.
I joined another company and got laid off again. Tough shit.


I ended up getting an offer before my lwd.
I am not from any IIT, I am not an exceptional engineer. I am very bad interviews, my resume usually doesn't get shortlisted.

Sheer volume of effort I put made the impact on me getting a job.
Right now I am the best job of my career, with a better management.


Trying to say, it's a tough time. But you'll get through it.

PIP then laid off, again laid off

I got layed off 2022 Dec , Consulted at a startup for 3 months , started with a large org with a paycut early 2023 and got promoted within a year of joining.
Not boasting here but just know that bad tines are momentary and good times will happen sooner or later .
