Leaving or getting fired?

Are there possible layoffs coming up soon? Are people still looking for a new job and trying to leave before the layoffs?

Wowzers where to begin….to keep it short been working my a-s off for awhile because expectations, workloads, projects, and meetings keep increasing and people keep leaving. Management doesn’t care about anything and keeps cycling through contractors and just anyone that steps foot at MDT. Been keeping an eye on other positions opening up west coast.

I haven't been here long and I'm already questioning whether I made the right move. There's so little work that I've been finding random things just to stay occupied. Which is in itself weird, since judging by this forum, people are generally overworked. I can't imagine sitting around like this for months and hoping things magically improve. I'm going to start looking elsewhere while I still have the choice.

I know I need to leave this place, but I have no idea when I'll finally get the chance.

Or is that just me?

I'm applying to pretty much anything that might get me out of here. Hopefully the job market improves soon because I don't see much reason to keep investing in a place that treats people as disposable.

How are y’all doing? What’s the overall morale in your market? My manager said to not worry, I’m not sure I am trusting that.

On the bright side, I am kind of looking forward to getting laid-off. Yes, weird thing to say but I’m taking that as a sign that it would be time to move forward.

I want to be paid to leave. I'll be praying from now until the next round hits in October that my name is on that list. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I've gotten to the point where nearly any other job sounds appealing. I'd stock shelves overnight, work a reception desk, or spend eight hours answering customer complaints if it meant leaving this place. None of those sound particularly exciting, but I'd still take them. That's how badly I want out of here.

So if anyone is reading this
What has happened?

If you're still there, I'd start looking around now. Even if the job search goes nowhere at first, you'll be glad you didn't wait until you were desperate. And we all know more layoffs are inevitable.

I'm new, and it's pretty shocking to me that people are so used to layoffs every other week. Is it really happening so often?

This is why I need multiple jobs smh

Who would leave without a second thought if they were able to land an offer, even if the pay was slightly lower?

I can't wait to get severance and leave without ever looking back.

The company I joined years ago feels like a completely different place now. Everyone seems exhausted, and the constant threat of discipline has people scared to do anything wrong. I've got a master's degree in a field that's usually in demand, but I've applied for 14 jobs and barely gotten any response. I'd leave too if I could find somewhere to go.

I actually enjoy the work here and have some great coworkers. The problem is I've watched so many really good people get RIF'd that I don't feel secure anymore. Every few months there's another round. With the job market being this rough, I'm thinking I'd better start looking while I still have a choice.

NYC , big numbers. So long su-kers

When management is asked about radical operational changes and how it will affect the future of those people and they respond "I don't know", they absolutely DO know and it's time to get out now and let it die. 3+ years of 1% raises is ridiculous. I've given three decades to this business and I'm done. Time to go be part of some mindless industrial machine and make WAY better money. Journalism is dead. Local media is dead. Until a station is run by a single employee, Nexstar will cut and cut until that one person is then running two or three stations. Maybe a 1% raise if they're lucky.

After some of legal was forcibly merged with compliance, people originally from legal are jumping ship and it has been one of the most satisfying things to watch. Especially knowing the egotistical “head of the table” has to be scratching his head as to why everyone is running away with two middle fingers held high.

I'm in Optum Health and I'm desperate to leave. Like actually considering resigning this week because I can't take this place anymore. However, if there's a chance I'll be laid off in October, I'd certainly choose to hang in there and collect my severance. So my question is... how bad do we think these layoffs will be? Is it worth waiting? And does anyone know when in October we should expect layoffs?

Who is actually ready for the real layoff day? Now that we are past these troll dates Sept 1 and Sept 8. Sheesh

Does a single person have any concrete information on the next round of layoffs? Anything other than the omnipresent "layoffs are coming, be ready?"

He didn't use those exact words, of course, but that was the gist of it. How do you even respond to something like that other than quitting? (Which I now fully intend to do as soon as I can find something else - and I wasn't planning on leaving any time soon.)

I normally like to keep up with the latest phone because I like technology but hesitant to upgrade because I don’t want to be locked into a contract with an employer who wants me to quit or wants to fire me.

My plan is already ridiculously priced even at employee discount. Can’t imagine being locked into paying full price to an organization that just fired me.

I think will be switching to another carrier soon or going to an MVNO. I hate eSIM by the way.

Anyone up for starting a new small “Ansys” so we can all leave and join, and bring along colleagues who’s already been laid off?

Starting to look heavily externally and here are some of my learnings so far.

• It’s a tough market. You better be applying to roles where it’s a 1:1, meaning you can definitely do that role or are very experienced. Unfortunately not the time for a career pivot if you’re unhappy with the work you do.

• In situations where I have successfully got an interview (3x in the last couple of years when I’ve just passively applied), I have had strong referrals.

This last one is more just something I do.

• Put yourself out there in the 3D world. Go to the career fair or external networking event. I’m willing to bet a lot of people can sympathize with the experience of working at a company with such low morale and poor leadership.

What am I missing? What would you add? I’m serious about getting the he-l out of here in the near future.

I honestly don't know if I'll be here in 12 months. Do you?

When layoffs were something others had to worry about, but not us? I miss those days.

I see some people hoping to get laid off.

Anyone wish their manager would get laid off?

Another layoff day today to start off the month but so far it's been quiet. Anyone hearing a big wave coming later in September/October? I've heard whispers that certain groups will be impacted in Q4. Let's wait and see.

Nutanix has become filled with outsiders from Dell In VMware. They were worthless at their prior companies and they’re being brought over by their friends. Nutanix strives at finding new ways to pay you less. When I first started the company you had really good opportunities to make money. Those days are gone. My manager was a joke. He managed up and didn’t care about the people that worked for him. He would set one on one calls and ask you what you wanted to talk about. I didn’t wanna talk to him because he was useless. The great people have been let go one by one and the clowns run. The circus morale is in the toilet and people are looking for jobs. I wish all the people there are the best of luck get out while you can.

Well said, @3zv+1kz6hy1a0.

I just want it to be over with. The stress of waiting is one of the worst feelings. Time to leave it behind us.

I endured 3 years on the core line with many promises of a role switch after my "2 year commitment" in the end it was all just a lie. Oh well.

Get your licenses, learn the ropes and get out while you can asap.

I'd like to finally move on, one way or another.

Any clue if more layoffs are planned?

And I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels this way. This place has gone from bad to worse faster than I expected. I'd be happy to leave it behind for good.

I've seen too many coworkers get laid off and panic because they'd been out of the hiring game for years. Start looking even if you're staying. Apply, interview, and keep your resume fresh. The worst that happens is you see what's out there. The best is you get an offer you can't refuse. You've got nothing to lose.
