Layoffs

If anybody is being impacted by the KPMG layoffs let me know if you want to talk about new opportunities

My coworkers and I were laid off from Grant Thornton mostly due to utilization issues, although it's sad that utilizations were out of our control, should've left earlier like the rest of our peers.

I’ve been a jr. in the industry for only a year. I’m at a large and reputable agency, but I feel as though I’m not getting the experience I need. Everyone is spread pretty thin with workloads, and I haven’t been able to receive the coaching I need to advance. Nor do I have anything book worthy. Now we are undergoing a restructuring which sounds like code for layoffs. So I’m worried that I’m already dead in the water before I can even start swimming in my career.

Any advice?

Was a Junior AD at an experiential agency before layoffs w/ the goal of working at a “traditional” agency. Looking for advice and feedback on how to improve/add to my book with that in mind.

Are people honest with their reviews for staff? My assistant only supports me and someone else so I feel like if I go off, it’ll be obvious it’s from me and I’ll have to face repercussions from her. It sounds ridiculous but as most of you know, apparently being incompetent as an assistant is not enough to get fired.

Do you mention in interviews ("why are you looking for a new job" questions) that you've been laid off? Good way to navigate this question?

When I was at Accenture I thought ACN Strategy was the top of the top but I didn’t go to a fancy school so imagine how hard it was to network my way in. Then they stopped transfers because of COVID and I was laid off despite all of the good reviews I had calling for me to be promoted. I was almost happy with 100k just to be a senior analyst in Strategy.

Today I just signed my offer at a tier 2 firm and I’m making over 180k. Thank you Accenture for the lay off. EVERYONE KEEP PUSHING!!!!!!!!

Need some encouragement. Left consulting a few months ago to go to a startup. Took a major pay cut, only to be included in some layoffs last month. I’ve been applying for jobs well within or below my expertise/leveling and can’t even get a call back. But I’m in the offer stage for another Startup, I don’t even want to entertain the offer because of this experience at a startup.

Should we be worried about layoffs/firing? Just started a new job and haven’t had time to demonstrate performance before the working remote hit so am a bit nervous

Leaders - is there any reason you’d keep an employee who’s a known bully? Trying to figure out why my agency hasn’t fired the one rotten apple. She’s not even good at her job. None of us can understand it.

Laid off after Thanksgiving. 54. Not done yet. Plenty to offer. In Detroit but ready and able to move anywhere. AD/CD. Hangin in there. How bout you?

I'm an optimistic person, but it is so hard when everyone around me is so negative. What's the worst that happens, you get fired and you go work somewhere else.

I'm a retail employee, and I've noticed that a lot of my colleagues are really stressed out. They're often working long hours, and they don't feel like they can take time off when they need it. I'm worried about my own mental health. Is this what all retail is like?

Would it be good practice to always do Table.column_name in SQL to avoid errors for more complex statements? I tried doing it, but SELECT Table.column_name FROM Table looks weird to me. I'm wondering if it is worth making it a habit.
