Got my notice today. I've been really lucky. Remote work since covid. Not on phones. Not perfect but good. Leadership that was accommodating.
If I could find another role in the place I'd stay. I kinda hope I can. I know it's insane to hope. But I really hope I can. It's the same script for all of us right? That positions are getting posted and to keep an eye out?
The way they carried out this layoff was abhorrent. My role was reposted and I will not be reapplying. There is no humanity left in this place. I would NEVER work for Comcast again.
...are you okay? What department were you with?
Count yourself lucky that you were able to be remain full remote while the rest had to RTO, for that many years.
Its not going to be the same as it was. They are pushing RTO.
It's not crazy. 6 fig remote jobs are becoming rarer in this economy as AI does more knowledge work. However I'd recommend primarily looking outside esp if you're young because this company does not have a bright future. Your mindset should be forward and onward!
All the best
Does the term "Stockholm Syndrome" ring a bell?
Don't sacrifice your future because you have good memories of the past. Look around you and realize that this place doesn't like employees anymore. Treat it like the hostile environment it has become. Then start putting out your resume. No one deserves to be treated like how this place is treating us.
You sound like a direct report I had. He was lazy and getting placed on a PIP under me. He had wanted to stay because before I came, he slept all day, never worked or even came in, and often manipulated among coworkers. He enjoyed Comcast because he knew from being there awhile that he could do no work and behave badly without consequence under most leaders. He clung to staying for that reason. He benefited from and enjoyed a toxic culture because he was part of what created it. I’m not saying you’re as bad as him and I know some people found good groups to want to stay but when I hear folks say they want to stay, I also wonder if it’s for the same reason as him.
@a2 Did you get into sales or different role?
Get out of your comfort zone. I got cut last year, at a new telecom and it's the best thing that could have happened to me. I make way more $$ and SO much less stress. Make use of challenger grey and use serverence time wisely. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
