Uncle D dropping layoffs in people's stockings. How low can you possibly stoop

Is anyone else scared of signing a new apartment lease because they’re unsure if they’re being laid off in the next few months 😅

Lots of my ad friends have been laid off recently and are having trouble finding jobs in NYC. Wanted to share to give us all perspective in a place with so much job-hate talk.

Is it noteworthy to have worked in the creative industry for 23 years -18 in advertising, without ever being fired or laid-off? Are there medals or gold watches for that?

What's the best way to get laid off with severance? I've taken all my vacation days and just got staffed. Have already quit in my mind and plan on giving my last day notice whenever they(cont)

I am 30 and just got promoted to Senior manager. I think I am doing well but I feel I am driven more by pessimism, imposter syndrome, and fear of getting fired as opposed to a positive mindset and the desire to thrive in my career. I feel like I am suffering from some sort of a mental issue but wanted to throw it out here and get some advice to deal with this from the fishbowl fam as opposed to going to therapy. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Looking for advice on dealing with the shame of being layed off. I feel I was let go inspire of excellent performance and this keeps haunting me. By the way I joined a new firm immediately after the layoff however it still keeps bugging me 😔😔

Veteran 🐟. Were their heavy layoffs during the last recession? Scared for job security and that we are close to another recession

On tough days, ask yourself, what’s the worse that could happen? Bad review, getting fired, embarrassing yourself. There’s always opportunity to right the wrongs and if not then find another job!

Got fired from agency. Had to relocate out of pocket. WPP accidentally pays me 15 days later. Loving the glitch. Out of integrity I reported it. Their response was everything but thankful. (Cont.)

What’s the most minor thing you’ve seen someone fired over?

Got laid off - need legal advice on release agreement / severance document. Do y’all have any free legal resources or an org / law firm that I can contact to seek advice? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

So unemployment in NY … my severance was 2 weeks pay. Because my severance is 7 times my weekly UI benefit, that means I can’t receive UI for 7 weeks? If so, I got royally fked.

Laid off and unemployed for a while. How bad is it if I portray myself on job applications as still working at my former job?

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

Are there any agencies that have not gone through any layoffs, furloughs or pay cuts, hiring freezes etc? Shops that are, so far still financially functioning as normal? I know squarespace is one.

Need advice and pep talk because I’m certain I have chronic imposter syndrome :( Background on me, I have about 6 years of work experience post college but have gone through many companies because of layoffs and/or reorgs. With that, I’ve bounced a lot with different industries and have done different roles for a year max. My current role is about to be my longest (thank goodness, hitting about 2 years) but I feel like I’m not a SME in anything but I feel embarrassment for myself (Cont.)

Trying for opportunities in UK in the financial risk/ quant area. Currently working in the US for big4. However, I am not sure if companies in UK are willing to sponsor candidates in tier 2 / skilled visa category. Can you provide some insights? TIA

I tend to do a lot of actual work, talk only "cut to the chase" points, and I hate the lengthy useless talking and no structure type of person. Very delivery focused. Will I ever be successful?

Whats the typical salary for an Oliver Wyman Associate?

Just made the switch to client side...

So if I attend a 2 day client workshop, do I’ve to file an amendment? Also, if you working out of a client location M-T, would I be using the client location to fill up timesheet in DTE?

Advice needed-I’m 30 weeks pregnant and constantly getting dumped on at work (in industry now). I’m high risk (gestational diabetes & hypertension) and have been clear with my all male management team that I’m high risk. Still, they are steady trying to pull me into new projects while I’m actively leading one of the most high profile projects in the org. From a career standpoint, I appreciate it, but I cannot physically keep up the way I used to and feel like I’m risking my and my baby’s health.

For those in a niche space, what are some ways of avoiding the news that you’re interviewing elsewhere from leaking? I’m in a niche consulting area with a fair amount of people playing musical chairs.

In your opinion; what’s a reasonable salary for an entry level tax accountant position? I was asked if I had a number in mind but I said I was flexible as I don’t have tax experience and they still would like me to interview.

I’d be curious for peoples thoughts on permanent life insurance. We’re early 30s, 2 kids. We can very likely comfortably afford the big up front investment for the next 15 years or so. It feels like putting the money to work in equities is a better play but don’t want to write this off if it’s worth it. Right now I’d say our net worth is around 1.5 with 55% equities. 30% home equity, 10% preferreds, 5% cash.

WFH with a kid is making me less productive, so I end up working 30% longer hours to make up for it. But the longer I work, I get diminishing returns in productivity, so I have to work longer still. At this point, my mental stamina is just worn out. How do I fix this?

My little girl now has an option of returning to school in-person through her spring break. My spouse is a high risk + extra careful when it comes to all things pandemic. I'm worried about my little kid's lost year & want her to go to school & interact with her friends, learn, etc. She's been home since March. Schools are being extra careful, maintaining all precautions, etc. But I can't convince my spouse to agree to this. Anyone else in a similar situation?
