In case you are worried about the economy/ being laid off here are my steps to limit worry about being laid off.
1) I’m very good at my job
2) I have 6 months of expenses saved
3) I never stop attending networking events / keep a contact list of 45 recruiters ready in case of unexpectedly lay off.

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.

Hi fishes!
I am looking for a full-remote position, possibly part-time as a contractor with a pay of at least 50$/hr. I'm a good performer so I know I could also ask more (according to US salaries).

Any ideas? I am in the final phase of different positions on Crossover, but I've heard it's really hard to stay there without overworking and get laid off in a matter of months.

My firm has laid off a few people amid some other cost cutting measures. Normally, I would already be interviewing at other places. However, I’m currently pregnant and due in early spring. Most companies require a year of employment before you can take mat leave. Is it a dumb idea to stay put at my firm and hope there’s no more layoffs / I’m not part of them so I don’t have to worry about taking leave? I’m a high performer and well liked so likely wouldn’t be part of initial rounds of cuts

What can be revealed during a reference check? Are they different from background checks? I was laid off without cause during my probationary period. I've now got a written offer in Tech contingent on reference checks.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to provide references or if a third party will just call my old workplace & ask for feedback? I would love to secure this new offer, it's great, but feeling anxious about this check :(
My boss and I did not see eye to eye at the old firm.

Daddy D gave me a notice that I was under performing, my coach only can tell me “communication issues” even though my mangers never told me I was doing anything wrong. They took 3 months to complete any snapshots on me so just now am finding out when I am on the bench. I did recently leave a project after only a few weeks, but I told them I did not know how to do the project (was in a different Business Offering, so I have no experience) and so I was removed. Should I be worried about layoff?
