It’s probably best not to trust them. Last week I was let go from a company I worked at for over 2 years. They list transparency as one of their most important culture values yet are being shady about layoffs. The ceo of this tech company was asked during our stakeholders meeting a few weeks ago if we would experience layoffs and he emphatically said absolutely not. Yet during the last two weeks multiple people in high pay positions have been let go without any warning due to weird reasons. Many of us have never had any disciplinary actions against us, we were leaders in our respective departments, we were in management training, we worked late and on weekends and for what? I found about 7 other top ranking employees who were let go for bullshit reasons and they all agree that this is managements way of having layoffs without actually calling it a layoff. They recently cut multiple perks and started having us account for every little thing that could possibly be held against us.
Remember this, don’t over-apply yourself at a job that doesn’t give a fuck about you and don’t trust a company that says they’re transparent bc chances are they absolutely are not.
