That's brutal. We just laid off a couple hundred people last week, only five from our department (which is 190 people) but two of them were from one of my team

That's brutal. We just laid off a couple hundred people last week, only five from our department (which is 190 people) but two of them were from one of my teams. Demoralizing, and in the case of that team, absolutely devastating to productivity in the short term.
Cutting almost 1 in 4 employees is beyond anything I can imagine. I think I'd feel like I was rearranging deck chairs if I survived the cut and stuck around. I'd be putting out my resume right now.
- taurath 4y agoI’ve gone thru those it a few times - while most all other companies were doing hiring freezes or layoffs as well. It’s times like that that employers really squeeze every last bit out of those “lucky enough” to stay around.
