Doubling down on the layoff lie

More and more performance reviews from the folks who have been laid off in recent weeks have been popping up in news articles, on LinkedIn, and Reddit. There’s a whole lot of exceeding expectations the staffers did just prior to being told they were part of the performance-based layoffs. I culled together some of these, and made a video update of my last blog post on the layoffs. Please do check it out and subscribe to my channel.

Integrity Institute -- II is a non-profit with >500 current and former trust and safety in tech experts who come from 40+ different platforms. We have regular community events, a fair number of people who have gone through layoffs (and likely were laid off recently) who can provide support and share resources, and work on some really important projects related to building a safer internet.

All Tech is Human is another group dedicated to creating community for the folks building new tech responsibly. They also maintain a job board that may be easier to navigate than some of the giant job platforms.

Alice Hunsberger’s website links to a number of job boards related to trust & safety, AI, and fraud. She also shares a Career Planning Template that may be useful for folks figuring out what they want to do next, and how best to prepare for that.
