Be pro-active. Get out and look elsewhere before you're trying to out-compete all those others that will be laid off from the company at the same time as you.

- readonthegoapp 4y agoToo late - market dead - even if you are an individual contributor of some type and willing to work for less - imo. i usually advise a double-approach - look for a new gig (i.e. feed the stomach) - but also try to start/join a union and look at other employee empowerment ideas, like allowing H1b holders to freely transfer between employers without the drama, etc.

- UncleEntity 4y ago> Our business is doing great, but I guess that's not enough to maintain job security anymore. Find a job at another company “doing great” and be the first let go because you’re the new guy? I learned during the Great Recession that if you have a job then keep the job. Also, as one of the other commenters posted, don’t take a job making less than what McDonald’s pays just because the company thinks you’re desperate.
