Open the companion tool →Why public signals, not rumors
Companies disclose more than people realize: hiring freezes appear on the careers page, earnings calls change language about headcount and efficiency, and projects get quietly cancelled. None of it is secret — it is just rarely read together.
The point is preparation, not prediction. No signal set proves a layoff is coming, but the personal steps — updated resume, refreshed network, a savings buffer — are worth doing long before you are sure.
The protocol
- Review the public signals: hiring page, earnings language, project announcements.
- Read the signal basis: which are present and what each points to.
- Take the personal steps now — resume, network, savings — not after the announcement.
- Set a review date to re-read the signals monthly.
What the tool does
Review the public signals about your employer and get a preparation reading with the basis shown. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Limit first: This is a preparation aid, not a prediction and not financial advice. No signal set proves a layoff is coming, and this tool does not know your company's private plans.
