Layoffs Imminent: Seek Opportunity with Client Taking Work In-House

The original poster's (OP) company is clearly signaling impending layoffs due to a major client moving work in-house. This situation presents a direct and timely job opportunity: applying to the client company. The client will need people with existing knowledge of their projects, systems, and operations, making the OP and their colleagues prime candidates. This is a far more strategic move than simply waiting for layoffs or a general job search. The OP should discreetly update their resume, leverage their intimate knowledge of the client's needs and processes, and actively explore open positions at the client organization. Networking with client contacts could also provide an advantage.
