Talking Layoffs with The TrapRecruiter

The tables turn for this special episode as I serve as a guest on "The Trap Recruiter Show" with my friend and fall co-host, Keirsten Greggs. She asks the questions, and I answer them.  Here are a few of the highlights from our discussion: We spend some time discussing the reason for this round of layoffs. How carefully must job seekers navigate examining their layoff experience (good or bad) online? Are layoffs a reaction to the economy and conversion to call center automation? Not every company is like Meta in getting generous separation compensation/benefit packages.  The "survivor" effect of those not laid off but affected by the aftermath of their separated coworkers.  Attending conferences as a job seeker puts you in touch with recruiters, employers, and peers.  You are more than welcome to join the discussion.
