Bud, relax. You’ll be fine, analysts are the safest. If it does happen one day, you’re a young, qualified, and capable person. You would have absolutely no trouble getting another gig! Chill out homie!

Always be looking for your next role. Not because you're afraid of getting the axe, but because you should know what opportunities are available to you.

Don’t focus on being laid off. Just focus on what you can control. If you do good work and are still laid off then it happens, but worrying about being laid off could negatively affect your work

For real? Sorry about it

If you think you’re doing good work, you shouldn’t worry about layoffs. Remember you’re not alone in your insecurities. If your company doesn’t have high bench tolerance, I would suggest to start applying for roles in other firms. Be more confident in your own strengths. Best of luck and I’m sure you’ll do great

There’s been rumors of Analysts being laid off too. I’m beyond shook right now. I’ve been on the bench for 4 weeks now and nothing in my OP is selling. I’ve just been working on internal initiatives and applying for other jobs so if it hits me at least I have something come through....

Keep your resume and LinkedIn up to date and your contact network active. Pad your bank account as much as you can. At your career level, finding another gig should be a piece of cake as you’re not too entrenched in a role or career path yet. All of that said, I’m crossing fingers for ya - it’s happened to me a couple of times with zero warning and it’s tough when it’s you, but you’ll get through it!

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
