Got laid off. Now what?

HELP! Recently promoted M1, and a very low-performing staff is threatening to go to HR with harassment allegations as a means to protect herself from getting fired. Suggestions?

😡 They fired my counselee and didn't tell me. Been working on his year-end prep for no reason 😡

At ACN, who actually tells you you are getting laid off? HR, your CC, or Partner or a combo? Just checking for a friend of mine.

Has anyone had unemployment benefits rejected?! I found out today that after filing for 9 weeks, they’re saying I’m ineligible due to receiving severance. I know others who received severance & got their benefits already. I’m going to appeal but welcome an advice from anyone else that has had to fight to get their money!!

Layoffs at Greyhealth group this week. I heard 12 people.

How hard do you think it is to be fired or let go from your firm?

Feel like im firmly in the layoff crosshairs and i am now in a massive funk

As opposed to forcing layoffs, could a firm just request their employees to go on sabbatical for reduced pay?

Long story short: I work for a small healthcare consulting firm. Since COVID, I was going to the office once a week, every Wednesday. Today, I have put on my 2 weeks because I accepted an offer from a big 4. During my last 2 weeks, I had planned to see my family for the first week, and go to the office on my final week. Also today, my boss asks me to come in the office everyday next week. Should I say I don’t feel comfortable and just don’t go?What’s the worst it happen? Get fired lol

Got a great offer at another consulting firm but worried about prospect of getting laid off after joining given current climate. Thoughts?

How many of us would be immediately fired if our mute button malfunctioned? 🙋‍♀️

Terrible at time compliance ... an I going to get fired?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Us white people need to put ourselves in colored people’s shoes. How would we feel working in a predominantly “colored” work environment where everyone wants us to act “colored” (whether Black, Asian, Latinx)? How comfortable are we going to be day by day when being yourselves mean no promotion and could get us fired? When our fate depends on another race who gives favoritism to their own race? Colored people are the most resilient people in corporate America. The true backbone of our success

Conversations or expectation re-sets with clients around the “reality of 2020”? Ie: Pandemic, deaths, quarantine, work from home, remote school learning, layoffs, economy, isolation, politics, police brutality, civil rights protests, forest fires, riots, police state tactics, RBG, plus all the other “normal” bad things. It feels like the elephant in the room.

If I get laid off how hard do you think it’ll be to find a new job right now. What skills should I learn in that time to make me more marketable?

Months have gone by since I got laid off. Unemployed. Getting rejected from every job that I apply to. No interviews. I hope that I will have my first interview soon and find a job soon.

With all these talks about EY layoffs.... curious if anyone from IAAS was let go?

Have a hella long layover at IAH tonight. Any favorite restaurants??

So I seem to already have a lot of interest from industry recruiters early on (1 year exp), is this something i should bring up in comp meetings? No plan to leave for at least another year and a half

Are 20-minute interviews with recruiters common? Or is it just something they do out of professional courtesy?

Anyone used Marriott points in Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo? Planning a summer trip and figured I’d get some fishbowl perspective on top of my googling for value and nice-ness :)

Do you charge your time to BD or Project code for on boarding activities (e.g. calls, reviewing materials) ? Prior to getting to the client site.

Has anyone ever been the subject of a perceived disability? Do you think firms should offer some some training/awareness programs? Seems everyone gives their opinion like they’re a PsyD to start probs

Just got slotted for a mind numbing role. My Manager is thrilled cuz it’s billable and I’ll be off his mind for the next 9 months. Silver lining: client has a gym on-site...maybe it will keep me sane🤞🏼

Help! Best I&D sourcing tools or best practices that you would recommend?

Thoughts on Parthenon-EY? And if you have insight into Health Strategy specifically, that would be great.

Pbb bonus email is out.

I am interested in working on data science stuff. Is there any position in Houston office? How much do they get paid?

I love when individuals say they don’t harbor any misogyny or bias against women, but when something goes wrong on an account or when the client isn’t being the best, it’s always the woman’s fault.

Fish friends. Nanny question... hired new nanny in Oct after beloved live in of 6+ years retired. New nanny’s mom got sick after she was with us for about 4 weeks so she is now off for 3 weeks (cont)

Is it only MBB and Big 4 on here? Checkin

Qc35 should have gps for location. Mine were swiped at client site

Dyscalculia-c here, so request no judgement on question. If I have 10k in 401kA and 20kin 401k2 , will I make more in growth if I combine them into a single 401k? A friend was trying to push this logic but it’s beyond me.

How do you all manage the months when you couldn't travel every week (doctor's rec) but were not yet on maternity leave? Given my industry focus and home office, I have very limited local project options. Did anyone go internal for 1-2 years and how did that play out for promotion?

Proposal to solve the national debt: televise the Trump-Mueller interview on pay-per-view.

I live in LA office and mapped to dtla. Should I move somewhere to save rent? How long do we think covid wfh will last...
