Layoffs

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

Not sure if I am getting laid off. What are some key signs. Thanks in advance for your help?

Smart to look for a new job with a “recession” looming? Wanted to leave by end of the year, but nervous I’d be the first laid off at a new spot

How long is too long to be an intern? I've been interning for about a 1 year and half now at 4 different agencies. All extended me until I'd leave for another agency. I was told bad timing/layoffs

Quiet firings are happening through out the industry right now. Agencies have become better about hiding the layoffs and firings. Not a good thing…

Do you know anyone who was fired (not “counseled out”) for bad performance? Explain.

Layoffs at DH Philly today...

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

I was laid off from Deloitte in the 18th. I have an interview with Amazon for a Senior Program Managers Non Technical position with Amazon hiring manager on Monday. Any advice would be much appreciated. I would love to get into Amazon. I hear their interview process is brutal.

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

All time best tactical plan briefing & creative kickoff? What blew minds? What fired the right brain neurons? Out-of-the box meeting structure? Acct briefing:brainstorm ratio? Who drank the KoolAid?

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? I have heard someone getting laid off because they missed submitting their time-sheets for 3 times in a year.

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

Is it safe to join @cvent during this recession time as frontend software Engineer 2.
React develper with 4 yr exp.

@Cvent

I recently took a sick day and felt like my team was judging me / didn’t believe me. How do you approach taking time of when you are legitimately at a breaking point? AND if people ask

How do you detach your self worth from your job? I have a lot of good things in my life and generally like myself as a person, but if I feel like I’m under performing, everything else feels bad

I have been faking and slacking for last 2 years. I am not being pushed and challenged at work. Nobody bothers to follow-up on my work. I take my sweet time to do the bare minimum. I took a break for depression and came back . Still I didn’t have the enthusiasm to do the work.Should I just quit and figure out what I really want to do ?

RIP James Gunn’s career. Can we be done with the outrage machine now?

How many times do we have to tell you, Karen, posting on 2 Instagram accounts doesn't mean you own a marketing agency 👀

Does anybody know what would Big4 audit manager average salary in Southern California? I'm experienced audit manager from mid-tier firm, and considering moving to big4. Due to the recent salary increases in PA, I'm not sure how much I should expect. Appreciate in advance!!

I am a personal injury attorney making 79k with ability to keep 40% of anything I settle, bonuses for originating work for the firm. I am 1.5 years into practicing as a Plaintiffs PI attorney - I have a review coming up - suggestions on what I should ask for as a raise. I’ve settled a couple cases and working on a third settlement. I’m new to the practice area but cannot get a read on whether a raise is coming at review - nothing but positive feedback from both partners I work with, but doesn’t

What are some phrases you commonly use to sound more intelligent?

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

Can anyone recommend websites / books to improve pharma CW skills? I’m looking for something like “Hey Whipple” that are pharma-directed (if it exists). Thanks!

Gotta think W&K has to open a Chicago office to service McD’s. What positions do you think they would staff up on?

Thoughts on Oglivy Chicago?

What did you do?

I’m spent.

Hello Fishes,

I urgently need a suggestion, yesterday I have joined a company, but I haven't submitted all the documents yet.
I'm yet to complete the on boarding process.
Can I abscond them today i.e. after 1 day?
If yes, what reason I should tell them?

Yesterday night, I have got a better opportunity.

Are there any other job titles that I can use in surveys other than an “accountant” if I work in FDD?
