According to a recent Bloomberg report, middle managers, defined as non-executives who oversee employees, make up almost a third of terminations, up from 20% in 2018. In January, UPS said it would save more than $1 billion by slashing 12,000 manager jobs. Citigroup aims to eliminate 20,000 roles over the next several years. These are just a couple of examples of the risk middle managers face with companies dealing with potential layoffs. How can middle managers tell that a layoff might be coming and protect themselves from landing on the chopping block? Julie Bauke shares advice on that and gives the heads up to employers about a shift in people not wanting to become middle managers.
