Hey guys, pretty new to GRC, I managed to work my way up in a Series C Fintech SaaS, started at the bottom (SDR) and just kept offering to work extra side jobs for the legal and compliance manager. Eventually they needed to take a leave of absence and I ended up running their compliance work for them while they hired a paralegal for the other stuff. It ended in a promotion to GRC analyst. Cool story!
However, last week we laid of 60 people, and today I got the speech about "showing our worth" to "remain valuable to the company", in otherwords, in spite of the 60 hour weeks I worked to land the job, expect much of the same if you don't want to be in the next round of layoffs.
Reckon this is a bluff? We aren't actually a retracting business, we've grown steadily, but I think C-level blew the budget and the shareholders told them to reel it in.
I'd love to hear some actual stories of people who were laid off in GRC, the size of the firm and the circumstances.
