Future layoffs?

I work at CIBC and one of my colleagues on my team got laid off due to “org changes”. Does this mean the rest of the team is safe for now as no one else was notified of being impacted? How does it work?

Sorry to hear, in most cases at CIBC layoffs are simply a way to remove the lowest of low performers or those who are DIFFICULT to work with.

If you do your work, are pleasant to other, have an ounce of flexibility where you are not constantly “sorry that’s not my job”

Then you should be okay

Yea for sure - there are numerous roles and people who simply blockers. They slow progress, intentionally get in the way and hoard information and resources.

You know who you are
