The word came down Tuesday that Cox Auto has laid off its entire contractor workforce. At least that is what my boss told me.
I happen to know 2 employees who are contractors and are still working for them, so either a few strings were pulled to make exceptions in their case, or my team was lied to by my boss so he could save face.
Anyone heard which departments will see layoffs?
Always make a backup plan.
A few of the contractors were able to stay in my BU, but thats only because we've been staffing projects 100% with contractors and some of those projects couldn't be cancelled.
I work as a IT contractor at the auction and was let go due to corona
My team was told the same thing. There may be exceptions in a few cases, but I think, for the most part, all contractors are gone.
Does anyone know anything about layoffs for full-time Cox employees? Sandy's email hinted that layoffs may be necessary but we haven't heard anything else in two weeks. I am wondering whether to start making a backup plan.
