What to do when layoffs
This is not currently happening to me but it’s on my mind for reasons, so here we go:
- Give LinkedIn recommendations to the people who were let go
- Start a group chat- Slack is a good tool for this because it’s free and common
- Do research to find out what employee resources are available (counseling etc) and make sure to broadcast that info
- Consider BCC emailing everyone you’ve worked with and plain asking them help they’d like
- Introduce people to other people
- Offer to review resumes
- Offer to tweet people’s linkedin profiles and retweet their need-job tweets
