All this layoff news is giving me severe anxiety. I always trusted Blind and for YEARS people have been boasting about how safe Microsoft is and now all this panic everywhere. If not Microsoft, where is it safe?! Amex is safe right now from layoffs but we have thousands of “involuntary separations” every year too.
Amex will be impacted due to reduction of corporate spending and increase of bad debt on consumer side.
It’s never safe. Maybe government jobs
yeah, safest would be to join military
How to join fed/government job?
Arista is safe AFAIK for now.
don't jinx it lol
True. But just in case it helps someone to find a job...
“I always trusted Blind” —- WTF.
Believe it or not but very high TC folk on here depend completely on Blind. They create polls and ask Blind which offer to take.
It *is* safe. 5% of the workforce is quietly managed out every year anyway, even in boom times.
Any update on todays layoffs ?
Are they choosing to layoff employees over contractors? I thought the huge number of contractors they have would provide some level of safety to the employees
These posts are a quick way to determine how old the OP is—nowhere is safe in a recession environment. Hell, even outside a recession. Microsoft laid off 18K employees (14%) back in 2014 for example.
The most safe way to make yourself stronger and knowledgeable, so you can find another job fast and easily.
