I know it is hard but in the long run you are best if you try to still do a good job, who knows maybe you will still have a job and then be further ahead then others, or you could get a job with the client, or some of your co works could freelance for your client. Do you know if the layoffs are based on years in, if not this could be your time to outshine you coworkers. |
I do report application development and data analysis. The people who are getting cut are already picked and have been for awhile. I work for a health care company that develops and markets wellness products. Like quitting smoking software and programs, onsite health coaching with RN nurses, data collection and transformation to report to clients their 'statistics' in their population of customers (people), etc... and the list goes on. We know they are cutting products and we don't know which ones. Executives won't announce the company's vision and long term goals until after the layoff. we just heard it was going to be the biggest layoff since the inception of the company (they have layoffs at least once a year too) which would mean more than 30% of the staff. We don't know the criteria for the layoffs yet and I've only been here 15 months.
When it was first announced I was determined to be noticed for my work. I am the lead developer for one of the companies biggest Key performance indicator projects. So I thought that was a good thing. Then I found out that the people getting let go have already been determined since April. But Ive still busted my butt and been a good/GREAT worker because I CARE. But now its been dragging on too long, people are leaving on their own left & right and we are told it's not going to effect the cuts anyways, also the people around me stopped caring. No one knows if they are going to see their hard work actually go live. They don't know if what they are working on WILL actually go live or will it be a cut product? There is absolutely NO satisfaction in your job right now here.
Sad way to live.
