Judging from what people have been reporting, the better you were at your job, the more essential you were to a project, the more experienced and skilled, the higher your chances of being laid off. I guess quality is expensive. I just wonder where the breaking point is, when everything will finally fall apart, seemingly all at once.

@OP - "...the better you were at your job, the more essential you were to a project, the more experienced and skilled, the higher your chances of being laid off." I don't know if I'd say that as a generalization, but over the past few years, I have definitely seen necessary, high-performers get laid off.
@b7 Infitrated, really? Paranoid, probably.
@b7 prejudiced nonsense
In every instance I’ve seen in this round, the people getting laid off were immediately backfilled by Indian resources that infiltrated the team. Be very careful about the information you share with new team members that have been brought in to “help”. They are your replacements.
@a6 is this a Canadain employee laid off? Havent heard about Canada layoffs yet. Can you share any org or team details?
I know someone who was laid off despite having over 10 years of experience and managing more than 50 projects. Also, I seriously doubt that people in Canada are being targeted by certain political influences from the south.
