How to identify your Layoff probability

asked and got 37% increment. 0% chance of layoff. work only 6hrs a day. have some self respect. I'd rather be laid off than do these shitty points. gross.

I kinda see where you are coming from but in short it feels like your solution is to lower your standards and work your ass off with your head down tho no? I see the point to not over play your hand but I feel like just submitting yourself to the company as if they are your overlord just to avoid layoffs is a bad way of survival. I might as well consider to keep leet coding consistently irrespective of the layoff news to be ready for jumping ship for better career than not asking hikes or working 3 people's work. Maybe just a me problem?

- Be in good terms with your Manager. Usually the manager will be ordered to pick 1 or 2 random people from the team to layoff. Constantly pester him on Slack if we should expect any layoff or not. - Set google alerts for your company. Somehow the media gets info even before employees do. So set al alert for "your company name" and "layoff". - If you hear the word "restructure" in any of the meetings RUN. It's just an excuse for layoffs. - Watch out for meetings where all the stakeholders are pulled into. At last, there is no certainty anywhere. So always keep your resume ready and keep applying on LinkedIn even if you don't want the job. Attend interviews and keep yourself sharp. Keep your expectations low from your employer so there won't be any surprises.

I used to do 4 PPL work, I was laid off, because I didn't get along with my Manager's best friend in the company.

Nice try, Narayan Murthy

7 step plan to get a promotion in your company, make a lot of money in the procoess and being the one who lays instead of being laid off. 😇 Step 1 - Resign Step 2 - find a problem your company uses a "really costly SaaS solution" for Step 3 - Create a cheaper alternative, customised to your company initially USING AI. Step 4 - Raise a lot of money Step 5 - Hire people Step 6 - Realise that the solution doesn't scale and hence be the one laying off instead of being laid off Step 7 - Join your company again at L7 level 🤷‍♂️

Matlab manager ki chaatni hai???? (Kaam bhi acha karna hai obviously)

Works well unless your manager is also in the firing list!

Does this applies to WIITCH as well?? 10yrs.. feels like underpaid (16 lac) , 3 yrs in the company..thought of asking for promotions....

Your points resonate with work like a donkey, lose your health, and self-respect for a job. Yet, that's no job guarantee no matter what.

I have been part of multiple cost reduction processes across years. We always look for low hanging fruits first (consulting contracts, travel, fancy overheads - say off sites,) before coming to people. Even amongst people the look for areas which will not "rock the boat". Nobody wants to let go of people in revenue generating roles and hit yourselves in the foot. The usual ones to get immediate impact are : Small experimental projects : say new business line, new geography etc. It's usually low/no revenue projects. Far flung small offices : you exist to manage that one small client? Someone from HO will manage that. Once these are done then the target falls to main businesses. Here usually the super large teams get impacted. Say if 30% of people are in customer success, then there is no major differention amongst eachother. You get hit by the target that you are carrying. And all decision makers will have a receny bias.

TC kya hota hai bhaiya?

All the points are good . One critical element is if you are hired as part of the growth budget then the above points are invalid and youll be let go if the company's growth plan is frozen

That is a good structure. Also, what kind of company you're a part of matters a whole lot.

Thanks for sharing this Going through multiple of these signs at my personal end

If you’re working on projects or problem statements that impact your company today and will continue to do so for the next year + there is no one in the company who can do it better than you —> you should be safe mostly be safe Working on something that has taken a back seat in your managers priority list or your stakeholders’ - inspite of your performance being equally good to other good performers, you are still at high risk.

What is tc?

Layoff happens on the a excel sheet, highest pay scale and less ROI(replaceable role) remove them

,

Apply for job, if they hire you with a hike in salary, then you are safe. If they offer you at the same pay, then 50% chance of layoff If they offer you with a drop in salary, then 75% chance you will get fired.
