What did your manager/leadership do?

After there was a layoff at your company 1- Impacted by layoff : Did your manager/team mates connect with you to keep you motivated? 2- The ones not impacted - Did your leadership/manager set up a team call to explain the reason for layoff and remove the fear/uncertainty that the rest of the people are safe.

What did it tell you about the higher management of the company?

Was impacted by layoff.

From management/leadership side: nothing. No exit interview, no nothing. Not even a word (neither did I say anything though :D)

Many colleagues are still in touch and had offered help in many ways since I usually have good rapport with peers. Very prompt with recommendations etc.

I've seen them do both. It's not a choice, just the right thing to do.

Leadership does need structured coaching to go through these cycles. Its a gap in Indian startup leaders.

I have seen a few not being able to handle it well when they communicated it. They can't be faulted - 30 year olds founders aren't expected to have the poise to handle, manage and communicate the gravity of the situation with equanimity.

They did both at my place. It was a good place (culturally and financially) but badly impacted by the economic cycles.

They did both in my Knowledge, they are equally scared of the economic crisis. They are not responsible directly for the layoffs. They are doing their job IMO.

Yes, both happened. I got impacted in September layoff at Apna and our director of engineering gave me a couple of referrals.

The ones not impacted, yes. A couple of friends in the team took me for dinner and to get me off of that stuck feeling. My lead and one of our staff engineers have took mock interviews and helped me practice DSA again, which I didn't touch for almost 2 years.

From the top leadership, no, nothing there. They're living in an echo chamber listening to only what they want to listen and that's the primary reason the culture in the company sucks. At present, even the ones that aren't impacted are planning to leave in a month or two.

Do you folks tell about layoff to HRs

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?

What was the first sign that your company might be doing layoffs? Was it a random meeting addressed by CEO or some other shit?
