Becoming layoff proof?

lotta chatter about different strategies on how to avoid or mitigate risk of layoff

whether that's narrowing in on a specific industry, specific tier of company (blue chip, Series D, who the fuck knows), or might be maintaining status as a high producer on your team/ over achieving on quota

a lot of ideas bangin around the WR

here's my thoughts on the matter, what I've found to stand the test of time:

1) demonstrate value
2) engage physically
3) nurture dependence 
4) neglect emotionally
5) inspire hope
6) separate entirely

There really is no such thing as being layoff-proof.

Agreed. Control what you can control, which is how you respond, and how you set yourself up to be a valuable employee- which may be with your next employer.

Agreed, though this could make you more layoff resistant..

What do half of these things mean???

Engage Physically - Are we fighting someone? Hugging our co-workers?
Neglect Emotionally - When I neglect am I acting happy, sad or angry?
Nurture Dependence - Am I encouraging people to be dependent of me?

I thought these were your thoughts on the matter?
If that's not you, then you just ripped off someone else.

After all of this is done my new strategy for 2024 will be to wait until the 3rd request before doing any work on a project.

I do the same. Naturally I know the founder of my company is very nitpicky with projects so typically I just do about 50% effort knowing he’s gonna tear it apart anyways

Literally none of that works anymore except this: don’t get attached and always have an iron in the fire.

I looked at the thread and realized I wasn’t thinking Sunny. It’s to close to a real post.

Agree w/@antiASKHOLE. There is no way to being "layoff-proof" but I do think what you have said above is a good way to stay afloat at the very least and try not to be cut. Ultimately, only way to not be laid off is be the one who decides layoffs at the very tip top and even then there is almost always someone above you.

Self-merchandising without seeming like a suckass is both an art and a skill. It's also necessary in the impossible quest to wear a layoff proof coat.

We need a second and third post on being laid off proof. I am thinking about targeting companies that just got done laying people off. And we should Move-in After Completion. And after that just drop Magnum condom in front of your VP of sales

Be or think one step ahead, whilst making sure that only those that "need to know" have enough information to credit you for your ideas and contributions, whilst you make heroes of others within your organization (to protect their egos) and help them to improve their results.
