I am a recruiter and I work and live in a small town in Germany where the job market isn't great - there are few job opportunities and even then they don't pay well. I was incredibly lucky to find a role with a company that allows me to work remotely and has a good salary. It’s a smaller organization, and I’m the only recruiter. Unfortunately, the company has been going through financial trouble and we were recently acquired by a Chinese company that is looking to expand overseas. Layoffs started a few months ago in some countries, but Europe has been delayed due to the stronger labour laws here. While I haven’t officially heard anything, I suspect I could be next—especially since the cuts seem to be budget-driven, and I’m paid above market. I am trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to keep this job. I even thought about approaching my new boss to proactively propose I take a salary cut if that would save my role. Even with a salary cut, I'd likely earn more money than in any other role I could find locally or that would allow me to be remote.
