    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I suspect layoffs are coming at my company, and I'm feeling anxious about my future here. My manager canceled our last one-on-one about a month ago and hasn't scheduled another, which feels like a red flag. I've also noticed a significant decrease in the amount of work on my plate lately. I'm wondering if I could potentially delay my layoff by making it seem like I'm actively looking for another job. Would management consider holding off on layoffs if they thought I might quit soon, especially since it could save them a hefty severance payment of six months? How long could I realistically keep this up before they make a decision? I've seen some comments suggesting that companies generally don't take individual circumstances into account when it comes to layoffs, and that they have their own strategies to handle these situations. It's a tough spot to be in, and I just want to navigate this uncertainty as best as I can.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I received a significant amount of RSUs instead of a salary increase last year, which kept me motivated in my role. However, with the recent layoffs at my company, I'm left wondering if my RSUs are now essentially worthless since they won't vest for another two years. I feel like this situation has turned what was meant to be a benefit into a cruel joke. I'm curious if there's any way I can claim anything from these RSUs or if I'm just out of luck. I've seen comments suggesting that I might not be entitled to anything since they haven't vested yet, but I also heard that some companies have policies that allow for automatic vesting if you are laid off. I'm trying to navigate this uncertainty.
