In September 2023, Johnson Controls was hit by a ransomware attack that resulted in data theft and disruption to its internal IT infrastructure, costing the company $27 million to respond and remediate. It is a security company with government contracts and couldn't even protect itself.
A few days later, I was laid off - I had not even been there 1 year.
(The manager who hired me was laid off 4 months after I started. )
The manager that I reported to was not even professional enough to tell me to my face as he and a HR person laid me off on a conference call.
