I'm a forecast analyst for a consumer packaged goods company, and my role supports production and sales. I basically try to predict the future and inform stakeholders of upcoming product movement, and potential demand and supply constraints. *I was recently not laid off*, and I think I know exactly why. I had been spending my leisure time learning Excel functions and how to create graphs, reports, and dashboards. I had been applying these learned concepts into my weekly reports and team meetings. Other members in my team did not have this knowledge. I think this was the only reason I avoided the axe. So good luck and do yourself a favor - expand your scope, knowledge, and skillset.

One of the signs you are being laid off is that the company is taking adverse actions against you. I got called into meetings where I was yelled at and blamed for things I had no control over. This involves things like placing you on a PIP and/or screaming at you in meetings all the time. This has happened to me a lot by bad bosses. They got angry when I outed them for it. One place I worked had everyone in the department quit. Another sign was when the company distributes the work or list of people, you are not on it. I experienced this first hand. People who get laid off need to keep all their emails because employers will do anything to get out of paying unemployment. This is why people need to not be nice to employers anymore. There is no loyalty to anyone anymore.

I felt i wasn't being appreciated and pushed out so i did increase my workload and started doing stuff outside my scope but the damage was done. My boss was reluctant to give me praise (she was an idiot who didnt know jack about our team and most likely couldn't do our work either). I did start to apply for other jobs in my last month, but it should have happened way sooner.

Prior to a major layoff in 2008, my boss started playing weird games with her reports, like beginning a meeting with an ice-breaker question asking what our biggest challenge of childhood was, or giving us a few days to spend $300k on individual purchases worth $10-20. She cut her team by 2/3. I survived by being transferred to manage a department known for being where the misfits got sent. One of my colleagues was a total suckup, and his workload was tripled, and he was put in charge of my area, which being someone who had gotten by in life by being a suckup, didn't really suit him. I left after 6 months, and he left soon after. At no time was anyone consulted or questioned about skills or interests. We were just pieces on a chessboard.

There's also another factor I think that can determine if you're more or less likely to be let go: seniority. In other words, if there are two people making about the same money with the same experience, and performing at the same level, and one has been with the company 20 years and the other only 3 years, the employee with 3 years is cheaper to let go of than the one with 20 years experience. Maybe I'm wrong. Edit: To clarify, it is cheaper to get rid of the person with 3 years seniority because if you lay someone off, you need to give them a week pay for each year worked and 3 weeks of pay is less than 20 weeks of pay.

If someone with 3 year's experience is being paid the same as someone with 20, either the 20-year employee has not grown in their job over the last 17 and needs to go, or the 3-year employee was hired on at way too high a salary (probably due to market conditions allowing people to get jobs above their skill level). As presented, it will be a toss-up as to who gets canned. The severance comes out of a separate bucket of money, written off on the company's taxes, so it is really not a factor.

After i was done with school I stayed at the store as it was calm, fun, and I worked with nice people. After my co-worker went on medical leave I was asked to work a full time shift and I agreed with no issue, after about a month I was asked if it was ok to make it official and said ok (literally). I worked for about another 9 months when they said they would be cutting my hours, Still full time and I was ok with it. Then a week later they said i would be forced to go back to part time. I was sad but I was going to work for another year while I look for a bigger job. Cut to 2 weeks later, asked to come in at 9am (2 hours before my shift and thinking it was the store manager officially telling us he was retiring) I as well as my direct co-workers were told 1 by 1 that our positions were being eliminated across the board. We all were having issues we were dealing with and this compounded it even more. The co-worker that was on medical leave came back not long before this and their boyfriend works there and my other co-worker's sister works as a partner company thats inside the store. When I went back to get service for a product i paid for the summer prior, the most senior one was called back cause they knew our system like the back of their hand.

@@xephael3485 I am open to, applying to different ones but mostly looking at data analyst/scientist/engineer and software/web developer. Are you really hiring people with little to no experience? If you are, then kudos but that is not common, certainly not as much as it was before. Plus a lot of places now rescind offers after giving them, even otherwise legitimate places.

If a company doesn't try to involve introverts and you have to force yourself to become extroverted, then it's a non-inclusive place. Leave.

The minute your boss or other leadership start treating you different even in the slightest way or extremely formal is a huge sign that they are considering you!

I remember working in a temp-to-hire position. My fellow employees became less friendly. One day I went to ask someone a question, and, NO ONE was there! They were all in a meeting, and I was not invited! Sure enough, I was let go within weeks.

Last week my company announced via email at 4:50pm on a Wed night that they were laying off 25% of our workforce. We are a medium sized tech company. Layoff's to start that night. The next 3 days I was an anxious wreck. So far I am safe (I think). Not a great message from our new CEO (90 days in). Then a week later he wants to work on employees trusting management. Really??? I am ACTIVELY looking. Everyone who survived is just in shock and fear. Is that the way to run a company?? I work in the Finance dept and we are not making as much as they wanted but didn't think we were in that BAD of shape to have a drastic lay-off. Of course it hurt our stock price when the earnings call was next day announcing the lay-offs to the world.

Beware: SIDE HUSTLE INCOME CAN NEGATE YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. Question: how many people can cover their essential monthly expenses with unemployment if they’re not living with mom and dad. Caution: Get the facts on your eligibility for unemployment AND what your unemployment payment would be BEFORE you count on it in blissful ignorance. BE PREPARED.

How did I end up on the spreadsheet? I got the layoff notice. My most recent appraisal went well, was hitting and exceeding my metrics, and I got laid off. The folks not up to snuff got to stay and they admitted they weren’t up to snuff in front of org leaders. I was doing projects and presentations. Can you do a list of reasons for those of us who do not fall into these?

Companies that lay people off because they don’t have “enough” money to pay their shareholders are companies that shouldn’t exist. If your a company that can’t pay their bills then yes layoffs must happen.

I would like to point out; being asked to train someone and meeting with the boss' boss could mean something else. It could mean there are plans to promote or expand job role. One of the things I always do for my team, is to have job duties trained to the next level down and have responsibilities transferred in preparation to hand over new responsibilities to someone being tapped for a promotion.

No, it always means layoff if you are ask to just tell new employee whatever you know without stating any specific goal or direction. Just setting up to fail.

A 10-15% layoff is a company closure. How many businesses can operate without 10% of staff?
