Another round of layoffs...

Another round of layoffs at my company. A whole team of 4 slashed, Engineering Manager, Vice President not spared. All in all 8 made redundant in a company of around 100.

With the tech layoffs going around the world, I feel this is the new normal. Hiring and firing will continue. We have to accept a level of risk now wherever we are working.

The only advice:

  • Give your best, but not at expense of your own time
  • Be more visible with your work
  • Work to enhance relationship with your peers, not with the Company
  • Always focus on your own learning and skills so you are hirable
