I'm anticipating a layoff this week as my company is undergoing significant workforce reductions. Last Friday, my biggest project was cancelled, which has left me feeling uncertain about my future here. I've been proactive in preparing for this situation by updating my resume and LinkedIn profile, as well as reaching out to my network for support. As a director who has been with the company for 1.5 years, I'm trying to make sure I cover all my bases during the upcoming HR call. I have a checklist of questions I plan to ask, including: - What will be my last day of work? - What will my severance package look like? - How long will my health insurance coverage last? - What will happen to my HSA/FSA accounts? - Is my position officially eliminated? - Will my unused PTO be paid out? I've also received some feedback from others about additional considerations, such as understanding the termination reason and its implications for future employment verification, as well as possible continuation of health benefits through COBRA. It's been a bit disheartening to see comments questioning my preparedness at a director level, but I want to be thorough in my approach. I'm hoping to negotiate for a few months of medical coverage as part of my exit, just in case. Overall, I'm trying to stay focused and gather as much information as possible to navigate this challenging time.
