I work for a large healthcare organization in IT. We had an emergency zoom this week where an executive announced a voluntary separation program. We can “elect” to leave for extra severance. No more than 15% of us can leave. If not enough of us leave it will be involuntary the first week of December.
I don’t know what to do. The involuntary will be done solely based on seniority without manager input. I don’t know where that puts me in the mix, I have 18 months on my team and am the newest hire. But this is across a division and I don’t know how many people or what my chances are.
I feel like I’m dropped into the Hunger Games
