Honestly the size really doesn’t matter that much. As soon as it’s favorable you are out in ANY company. In my observational experience it’s only 10 to 20% companies who have heart and where they do actually try to maintain talent and foster good working relationships.
- karmarepellent 3y agoI think the size definitely matters, but I am not sure about the extent to which it matters. I work at a company of roughly over 200 employees that is part of a much bigger org. Layoffs never happen where I am working. And one factor may be that HR has a different, in some cases personal relationship with their employees. That is certainly not the case in the parent org where large-scale layoffs happen every few years. Edit: And I would not even attest that my company is one of those with a "heart", as you say.
- oblio 3y agoHave you been working for this company for 20+ years? There's a high chance you're just a "sweet summer child" who wasn't there the last time things were REALLY bad.
- karmarepellent 3y agoThat is a valid point. But no, the company has been around for 31 years and I have only worked there for just over 8 years. I am confident however that no large-scale layoffs ever happened there, because I have heard all sorts of harrowing stories from "back then", abusive managers and the like, but layoffs were never mentioned. Might be survivorship bias though because the people that could have been laid off in the first few years cannot be there to tell the tale, of course.
