Been here a decade and a half. Far from my first rodeo with these RIF’s but this one sounds a little different.
They say they don’t have a number of people they plan to lay off and they aren’t getting into specifics about areas.
I think this is one to watch your a– on if you’re in management because we are very much topheavy.
I’m hoping some of this is giving a certain VP latitude to trim the top of the tree in my organization because all of the directors we’ve added in recent years aren’t delivering anything that the old organization delivered with 1 director and 3 senior managers.
Bottom line if you aren’t in management, make yourself useful/irreplaceable. If they have to let somebody go, it isn’t going to be the person who can cover for half of the department. It’s the one person that comes to work and “stays in my lane”.
