Layoffs

What do recruiters think of people who’ve been previously laid off at an agency due to loss of clients? Since it’s a common thing in this industry, does it cast a bad light on the applicant?

Deloitte people. I confirm layoffs of 4 ranked individuals and this year it's been hard rankings. Many 3s forced into 4. I was on the calls. Beware. Not trying to scare. Sharing facts.

LA, what's good? I know basically every agency out here had layoffs last year, so is anyone looking to hire a mid-level AD?

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Went to HR to complain about horrible manager. Will I get fired or let go? I was just speaking up for myself.

Is anyone like… scared of getting laid off the second they get hired

Heard layoffs rolling at SapientRazorfish. How you all doing over there??

I don’t think I’m qualified for a lot of jobs. I don’t know basic functions. How does one “fake it til you make it” in industry and not get fired?

I got laid off today and I’m scared

Laid off. Wha wha. Anyone hiring out there?

Anyone else hear about layoffs coming for S& people with low bill-ability? Heard this from a PwCer...any specific industry or region targets?

I swear I would’ve been fired by now it AutoRecover didn’t exist

Started working a week after graduating last May. Was on track to be one of the top staff performers and then COVID hit. Since working from home I am one of the lowest performers. Anxiety and stress are crippling my ability to succeed. I have social anxiety which makes wfh communication extremely difficult.

Managers - how much patience would you have with someone who was doing well pre-pandemic but has been struggling ever since? Should I start planning for a new job? (In case I get fired)

I’m struggling with corns/calluses on my left foot - they hurt because of all the heels too. Any one have any good ideas ?

I have a friend in London that has a fantastic offer from GS - he will also be in HR. But he currently has a pending charge against him that his lawyer is pretty confident that he can get the case thrown out. It’s an assault by beating charge and was done in self defense after the other person trespassed and walked up to my friend in a threatening way. My friend wants to turn it down as his lawyer doesn’t think he will pass vetting. Given the circumstances, possible he can be upfront & pass bgc?
