Pay attention and always be ready to respond accordingly

My first rule to not being laid off is to watch for signs of trouble and act accordingly. The majority of these layoffs are not random and are business segments we've heard rumblings about for awhile. If you were on one of these teams, try to find another job while you can. Sometimes they come out of nowhere, but for the most part, teams start getting less work and stop hiring new employees before layoffs happen. Pay attention and always be ready to respond accordingly.

Good advice from @3skl+1tB1UmNh.

Not always true. Cuts were made in many well-established organizations that are not only profitable but properly staffed.

It doesn’t always make sense at UHG, I would stop trying to make sense of it. Theres no doubt that there’s a good chance for acquisitions to get the axe and for IT roles to get offshored, but, teams you would never expect to get hit can and will.

#1 if you work for acquired company it is time to leave as soon as the deal closes. Only a matter of time. New sheriff in town and all bets and promises are off

What about when management stops talking to a team and won't reply to emails???

@OP+1tF5bBrY- great advice! So true.
