Liber+FollowThe Plot Twist: Laid-Off Colleagues Land High-Paying JobsA recent wave of layoffs hit my friend's company, and among the let-go employees were two famously "laid-back" colleagues, Xiao A and Xiao B. These two were always seen sipping tea, chatting, or scrolling through their phones, giving off an air of "this has nothing to do with me." Most of us assumed their lack of effort reflected poor skills, and getting laid off was expected. We even speculated they'd struggle to find decent jobs soon. But here's the shocking twist: within a week of being let go, both landed positions at a subsidiary of their company's client—earning more than double their previous salaries! The office was buzzing with disbelief. Looks like we misjudged them. Turns out, their "relaxed" attitude might have been a sign of smart strategy all along! #WorkplaceDynamics #Layoffs #CareerTwist #HiddenTalents #OfficeGossip121Share

Kaitlyn Page+FollowAre Layoffs About to Surge?Did you see this? Friday’s jobs report could spill the tea on whether US employers are finally cracking under all this economic pressure.
