[quote=Anonymous]I am in an industry that is heavy hit with lay offs. My company is well publicized in laying off a big chunk of the workforce. Obviously, I was scared too and I truly am outgrowing my current position, so I applied to promotional roles externally. On the phone screen with hiring mgr, I was asked if I was let go in this round of lay offs. I responded no. The hiring mgr then goes into a mini-monologue about how I was "tone deaf" about what is going on in the industry and that I should be grateful to have a job and stay put and not take roles away from people who are facing unemployment. This caught me off guard, but I responded that while I am grateful not to be laid off, I am really looking for growth opportunities. He laughed at me and said, I guess we will call you. So weird.
