Thread regarding Cengage layoffs

If you are still at Cengage

Things to consider if you’re still there:

  1. Your employment is TRANSACTIONAL. The company is paying you for your services. The second the company thinks the transactional nature of your employment is no longer beneficial you will be let go. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
  2. If you are a long timer then your job is at higher risk because your salary is likely higher than your peers. They do make this calculation and I have seen peers red-lined out, meaning someone looks at salaries high to low and makes cuts. This practice unfortunately affects older employees but they will do everything in their power to have a reason other than salary for letting you go. You have legal options however to get your severance you have to sign a waiver that they didn’t do anything wrong. The waiver does not clear them from actual age discrimination or any other protected employment but that would be a long shot to fight.
  3. If you are let go with severance ALWAYS ask for more during the severance call.

People get emotionally involved with work and forget that.
