If you think your team is going to get laid off you could maybe try to volunteer for it and negotiate for a more generous severance package. Big cos like that typically set aside money for those things and how it gets distributed is discretionary.
- diogenescynic 6y agoI may actually do this tomorrow. Thanks for the idea. Didn’t realize it was an option. The worst part is just waiting for it to happen.
- dclusin 6y agoThat's what I would do in that situation. I worked for a bank back in 2008. Just sat around waiting for the inevitable. Your boss could be a dick and lay you off on the spot and it may blow up in your face. But you might also be able to get more than what might have been coming your way. I'd give it a shot. It sounds like you have already caught wind, so jockeying for position is probably a safe bet.
