I'm sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can't ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I've been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary....

So disheartening. At this rate I might as well just retire from White collar work and go and learn a trade as a tradesman, completely redo my entire life goals

That's just the nature of corporate world. The beatings will continue.

Smart move is to not get emotionally invested.

Do bare min to keep the job and focus on your family and friends.

Fuck the parasite. Also, always be looking for a better job.

Same thing here, twice in 3 years. Stopped caring about companies, culture, all that bullshit. I'm there to do my job and clock out. 5 years I'd be devoted, work nights and weekends if I needed to, but now? Naw, fuck the companies. I do what I'm paid for. My time is my own. When I can be let go tomorrow for random cost cutting then why should I care about the well-being of the company?

Luckily I'm somewhere semi decent now, but I stay frosty. One thing is for sure, I'm 0 and 3 for private equity companies. Private equity is a red flag to anyone who doesn't own stock in it - and even if you do it's probably a short term gain before they tank it.

Yep. They'll demand loyalty from you, but not return it. The second a new CEO arrives, they'll want to show improvements on the bottom line. Fastest way to "save" money is to sack some people.

Unless you're in sales, you are a line item in a cost centre. Your salary is a dollar value they can save if they get rid of you.

HR exists to protect the org, not the individual people in it.

If you're looking for loyalty, get a dog.
