Don’t quit, line employees. Update your resume and get a reality check while you wait for the severance package. You’ll have a plan, whatever happens.
Managers, have a different problem. The company is forcing you to comply with unethical and hurtful policies. You could be laid off anyway, but you might be better off finding another job and moving on. No severance package is worth the hurt you cause, or your guilty conscience.
For sure, layoffs will continue. My department has been laying off regularly for over five years, and had stopped promotions even before that.
I was amazed that so many of us remain here, as bad as it is. But I know a lot of people laid off that now have no income and are still unemployed. Hard to believe since we are having the best economy ever, but true. Good luck to all!
