Because companies often decide that training newcomers is not worth the effort, applicants with zero background are left competing against overwhelming odds.
- 11How to deal with toxic leadership during company layoffsConstant whiplash between promises of growth and sudden rounds of cost-cutting leaves teams trapped in deep insecurity and confusion. When leadership responds to questions with dismissive ultimatums, it shatters trust and locks anxious workers into a cycle of fear where leaving feels impossible due to tied benefits.
