Am I getting laid off? Need advice please /u/Impressive_Space_291 CSCQ protests reddit

Hi, for context, I just joined this company 4 months ago, so I’m still new. This is a WFH setup, and out of all the offers I received, this one had the WFH option but came with a slightly lower salary compared to the others (though the pay is still good considering it’s remote work).

Last July, while I was still in training, the company announced that our client (the one we’re currently working with) is not renewing their contract, effective November 1. However, they will still retain some of the services we offer, but we don’t know which services those will be yet. They told us not to panic as there won’t be any layoffs, and that the client might reach out to us if we want to join their company.

I have weekly 1-on-1s with my manager just to catch up. He told me not to worry because he knows I’m super anxious, being the newest member of the team. He reassured me not to panic, since we don’t have all the information yet and that we’ll still have our jobs.

Fast forward to last September: the client confirmed they won’t be reaching out to hire anyone. So, our company said they’re creating a contingency plan in case our client doesn’t renew any of our services. There are 7 of us on the team, and if the client doesn’t renew, we won’t need as many people. The contingency plan is that some of the tenured team members will be approached by other teams within the company to see if they want to join (kind of like a promotion).

I had another 1-on-1 with my manager last week, and this time it didn’t feel as hopeful. Back in July, he was telling me not to worry, but now he’s talking about contingency plans in case things go sideways. He said my future is in my hands and I can always apply for other jobs.

What am I supposed to think about this? Is this a sign I’m going to get laid off?

We have a meeting with the VP next week to check in on the client and their plan, so I’m hoping we get a clearer picture of what’s going to happen. If I do get laid off, I’m so terrified. Joining this company might be the biggest decision I regret. Also, they’re still hiring because one of us already got promoted. They’re filling the gap left by my colleague who moved up.
