A while back I got laid off, in the short term after that I created a bot that automatically clicks their ad at the top of the Google search results.

And then I forgot about it. I had lunch with the COO yesterday - he said their ad spend is out of control.

Has anyone heard about layoffs happening in agencies these days?

I was just laid off from a fintech startup after 4.5 months as their first ever IP attorney. Anyone have any leads on other IP roles. I’m soft IP/marketing focused but also have patent experience.

BCG folks, I hear rumors of layoffs happening given the slow pipeline. Is it true?

Will companies know that you got laid off if they do a background check?

If I get laid off, I have a previous colleague that started a cybersecurity company. I would love to get involved on the business side of it. Any pointers on skills that are attractive in this realm for a startup? Would be mostly (if not all) federal defense contracting clients. I’m currently in Deloitte’s cyber risk practice but my background and passion is in accounting and finance, and business operations. Graduated in 2017 so still early career.

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

So no real layoffs?

I’ve been having reoccurring nightmares about getting laid off :(

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

When leaving as an audit manager, if you’re going to a competitor and they ask you to leave the day you give notice, do they always pay you out the 2 weeks or are you technically fired?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Has anyone seen firing in Deloitte India? Is there any process or employees are fired directly like few companies?

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

Anyone know if deloitte allows part time CPT? My full time CPT ends in May and been emailing immigration but no response.

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Is there anyone in HR that can clarify this for me a little- Hawaii is a state that prohibits future employers from asking your salary. How does this apply to remote positions? Is it only based on the home state of the company? Or would it apply because I am applying from Hawaii?

Ive accepted an offer going from a SM role to M role at EY in the CCas team , London office. Can anyone confirm how often one needs to come into the office, as my commute is from Hampshire . In my current role I rarely go to the office, i.e once every few months (also in London) and am considering backing out due to the additional commuting cost and less flexible work life balance.

Not enough people understand mountain driving etiquette - if you see a conga line of cars behind you it’s because you’re slow and you should pull over at the next available turnout and let them pass.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

My friend and I (both Asian and gay) were seating at the cafe on the 2nd floor of Saks Fifth Ave today waiting for our table for the restaurant on the 9th floor. A lady came and asked where are we from, and “why are you two men in this mall? This is for female only”. I said this mall sells products for all genders. She said she has walked all floors and never saw a thing for men. Then she threw curse at me. I stood up and asked her to repeat what she said. She pulled her phone and called 911

Forgot to post again this week...heading back to Reston Town Center for dinner/drinks.

I don’t sign into teams on Fridays and someone on my project acts like i’m unreachable when they can just text me or email me ugh.

I woke up 6am. It was dark. It’s 6:30am and it’s still pitch black. Ew

Anyone here cringe or shudder when they see someone with loads of Botox and face work done? I find it hard to look at people like that.

What is “the 71”?

Every other Friday, I got these farewell emails from my long-time colleagues. I am sad yet I’m too lazy to look for another job.

Probably the least racy confession on here but I really liked Windows 8 and I'm sad there's nothing like it anymore

Woke up from a dream where my grandma had passed away before my grandpa and was trying to grapple with his medical care. Ended up having to sell their home and put him in a home because I couldn't get any help from my family.

Anyone else have these kinds of super realistic dreams? If so, what was it about?

I wanna be distracted from .. whatever admin work I am doing now. How was everyone’s day?

I don't love my parents. I think they're hardworking, but they're not the parents that I needed when I was growing up. Moved away from them the moment I was able to. Don't really want to visit them any time soon.

I love a well behaved dog.

But dog hype and what dog owners get away with in terms of occupying human spaces, jumping on strangers with dirty paws, going to a friends house and having the dogs harass you for food, and obsession on the dating apps is next level obnoxious.

Dogs can be great, not a hater. But if you can’t control your dog you’re a massive piece of shit for imposing that on everyone else.

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market. Before taking FMLA for 12 weeks I was a top performer. Any advice from those that also live with bipolar disorder, or advice on a potentially a less stressful position to ease out of sales? I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.
