Signed up with a work email? You get some free perks too.

Verifying a work email doesn't unlock the referral pool (that's premium), but it does unlock a few things free of charge:

  • Verified Employer badge on your posts at your own company's board.
  • Real-time WARN alert for your own employer only (one company).
  • Insider tag in threads on your own company's board.

Your email stays private — posts still display only an anonymous handle.

What You Unlock

Premium features designed to keep you one step ahead.

Referral Pool

Premium subscribers form a vetted pool of referrers and requesters. Paying signals real intent — the people you connect with are committed to actually helping (or being helped).

New

Anonymized Intro Requests

Write a short intro for any company. We surface it to opted-in employees there. Your identity stays hidden until they hit "yes" — no awkward public asks.

Got the WARN alert for my company 3 days before it hit the news. Had time to prepare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a subscription?
Yes — $20 per year, billed annually. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. Your premium features stay active until the end of the period you paid for.
What is the referral pool?
All paying members form a vetted pool of referrers and requesters. If you're a job seeker, you can request intros at any company in the pool. If you're employed, opted-in coworkers see your anonymized profile only after they accept. Paying signals commitment — both sides take it more seriously.
What if you add new premium features later?
You get them automatically as long as your subscription is active. No price changes for existing subscribers within the same year.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 7 days of your first payment. No questions asked. Renewals can be cancelled anytime to stop the next charge.
Why is it so cheap?
LayoffAlert is built by laid-off engineers who understand the struggle. $20/year keeps it accessible while covering server, email, and Gemini API costs.
Is my payment information safe?
Absolutely. Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
Do I need an account?
Yes, you need a free account to purchase premium. Your identity remains anonymous on the platform.
