@elite.recruiter: Layoffs are rarely as simple as companies make them sound 👀 Most people assume the best performers are always safe. I've sat in these rooms for 25+ years, and that is not how these decisions get made. When budgets get cut, leaders start asking different questions. Who owns critical relationships? Who solves expensive problems? Who has skills the company cannot easily replace? 📉 Performance matters, but perceived value matters just as much. The professionals who survive uncertainty understand that being good at your job is only part of the equation. Making your value obvious is what creates leverage.
