Yeah. That's why I was curious. I replied to a comment saying we need to raise penalties for layoffs to disincentivize it. But if employers are using performance as a guise to do layoff without a layoff, that might mean the layoff punishment is deterring it in a weird way.

Sorry about your position. That sucks. When I look around at colleagues and their age, it makes me wonder if I should move to a management track instead of staying IC.

Thanks. I considered management at various times during my career. But it’s just not for me. With that being said, I can tell you that it’s rough being an older IC if you want job security.
