I'm planning on putting my 2 weeks in. With all these layoffs that recently passed, it feels like a game of Russian Roulette and I'm not looking to play. My team is small in numbers as I am part of the mid-day shift. There are no managers on-site until the night shift comes around. Between me and another worker who's worked for Netapp for a couple of years now, we are seen as more "dependable" when it comes to helping others with their problems (because management does not train people). After the other coworker was laid off; I didn't get promoted to his position so whatever access he had, I didn't get. This already is causing problems because with the limited access a lot of us can't go into certain places or configure certain devices. For example, if a lab support member needed a VLAN changed (Which is not hard to do), that member HAS to go to someone in networking. Here's another example, said lab support member is tasked to set up a connection from row A to M. That member needs to go to a "special room" to make this connection, but only sysadmins have access to said room. These small things are causing a lot of backup with the other members including myself. Besides dealing with my own work and helping others with theirs, the looming suspense of being laid off at any moment is causing too much stress and anxiety. I'd rather leave on my own terms than have someone else decide that for me.

Quiet Hiring: The company fires someone to save money and expects the remaining employees to do the extra work. Although you didn't interview for the new role and responsibilities, to your surprise, the company silently hired you without your permission or additional compensation. However, you're supposed to be happy that you survived the layoff.
Wait what ? Severances packages for those who voluntarily leave netapp is possible? Never hear of that , at least for coder ICs
It's understandable to be worried about job security, especially in uncertain economic times. Turning in a two-week notice is a proactive approach to take control of the situation and potentially secure a severance package, if offered by the company. However, quitting before being laid off doesn't guarantee severance pay, as it depends on company policy and individual circumstances. It may be helpful to have a conversation with your HR representative or supervisor to understand your options and any potential impact on your future employment prospects.
