I always thought job loss was something that happens to other people until I got laid off despite being an ‘A player.’ Now I assume it is just a matter of time

I always thought job loss was something that happens to other people until I got laid off despite being an ‘A player.’ Now I assume it is just a matter of time no matter the role.
This is the reality for everyone under at-will employment. Even if you are the best at your job, outside circumstances like changes in strategy, funding and leadership can make you a target for ‘managed offboarding.’
- mikelyons 7y agoWhat other types of employment are there?
- ramphastidae 7y agoContract employment? Unions?
- mikelyons 7y agoCan't contracts always be terminated or union workers laid off?
- ramphastidae 7y agoIt depends on the specifics of the contract and the union's collective bargaining agreement, but plenty of these types of agreements exist where employment is not considered at-will.
