How much notice are people getting if laid off?

Look, I'm probably just being anxious, but the energy on my team (Engineering) has been WEIRD lately. My manager has been in back-to-back meetings with the VP, and everyone's being super vague about upcoming projects. I know it's all speculation, but IF layoffs were to happen, does anyone know what the standard notice period is in Massachusetts? I'm trying to mentally and financially prepare myself for the worst, so any info would be really helpful. Even a ballpark estimate would be better than nothing. I’m only concerned about official notice, not rumors or anything. Thanks in advance.

Hey, that does sound unsettling. While I haven't been through a layoff at HubSpot specifically, Massachusetts generally doesn't require companies to give a ton of notice unless it's a massive layoff impacting a large percentage of the workforce (WARN Act). It really depends on your contract and company policy. I'd recommend quietly reviewing your employee handbook and any documents you received during onboarding. That might give you a clue. Best of luck – hope everything works out!

Honestly, people are always paranoid about layoffs, especially when project roadmaps are unclear. It's part of working at any big company. While it's smart to be prepared, try not to let anxiety take over. Focus on what you *can* control: your performance, updating your resume and LinkedIn, and maybe having a casual conversation with your manager about career goals. It's a good idea regardless of layoff rumors. Don't jump to conclusions based on vibes alone.
