How to identify your Layoff probability
-
Most lowest, low to Mid ratings (identified by your manager)
-
High TC — if you are in the same level for a long time (> 3 years) and your TC is reaching the top of that band.
-
High initial stock grant (possible by great offer negotiation skills) and you are approximately in the 2nd or 3rd year (when you got the most pay)
-
those who get retention offer in the past and your TC is L + 1 but not performing at L+1. Time to cut the cost.
-
Coasters: if your manager carefully Evalates your criticality and concluded you are easily replaceable
-
People who consistently complaining their teams are too busy too much pressure too bad WLB are in danger too.
How to minimize your chance of being laid off
- Tell your manager you don’t need any tc increase,or tc is not your career goal
2 tell your manager you are willing to work hard and have no complaints. If you took 2 ppl work, no one will choose to let you go!
