After a decade, I was laid off over a 5-minute Zoom call with a faceless HR rep I’ve never met. My access to my email and files was cut off before the call even ended, so I couldn't even send a thank you or a goodbye to the team I built from scratch. It’s a brutal reminder that to these corporations, loyalty is a one-way street that ends abruptly at a spreadsheet cell. How do you rebuild your self-worth when a company discards ten years of your life like a piece of junk mail?

I am the partner leading our local office lgbt group. What should I be doing to engage more with our people during this time? Zoom once a month only goes so far I think but I have run out of other ideas.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

SRG just laid off a bunch of people. Who is hiring out there?

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

Hi y’all! I have a cookie business that operates under my stated courage food law. I am interested in getting into corporate gifting. Does anyone have any advice or insights on how I might be able to make that happen?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
