It just feels like yesterday when record high rates of voluntary resignations were being observed and especially technology companies were having difficulties in finding talent. The period that is known as the Great Resignation, starting in mid 2021, is now being replaced by a period of layoffs. From giant corporates to start ups, the layoffs are affecting a significant number of us working in tech.

In this session, we would like to discuss how to deal with tech layoffs, from different perspectives, aiming to help each other in helping our impacted colleagues, organizations, and eventually ourselves. We will go through the psychology and the emotions of the dismissed employee, the line manager, and the survivors.
