We downsized again recently, 10%, as part of the quarterly announcement. A few people in our office were affected. This included some good people who had made valuable contributions. Luckily for me I managed to survive this cut, like the previous layoffs. It's not real surprising just because tech companies rarely just do one round of layoffs. There's usually at least a second round. Hopefully this will be the last. I'm not sure how many more I could get through.
So there's a new acronym I hadn't heard before for it. Reduction In Force (RIF). That's scary, it's just too close to RIP, which it is the same as on some levels.
So you don't want to get RIF'ed.
