Already seeing posts about people getting laid off the Monday we come back from 4 days off, and right before the holidays. Sorry Advertising, I forgot what a dick you can be.

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

Just found out I’m getting laid off in two weeks. How do I stay motivated to do work until then?

Laid off in August. Just wrapped a 4 round intrvw w a big name agency... but another candidate got the offer. ISO of agencies hiring. I’m happy to share a portfolio and conversation with all in NYC.

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

More layoffs last week at Leo B. Seems they went after more Seniors & $alaries. Thank you France.

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

Had a fight with my MD or let's say more like argument. After that the next 2 months was endless nitpicking and pulling me for mistakes that aren't really in my control.

Post 3 months, I apply for a transfer. Transfer process delayed for some process reasons
No negatives/issues in my f22 feedback. Utilization above target. Way Above average
Recently fired without reason
Who should I escalate to?

PS: Ignore typos. Written in anger

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

Have you ever seen a client fired in mid-production?

ISO: experienced recruiter for a career consultation. Laid off a few times. Trying to make sure the next job sticks. I’ll compensate for your time!

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

Dad got laid off. Drinking got worse. Attempted assault on sis and mom. Had to put up in hotel. No clue on next steps (legal and personal). Project is complete shit show and SM is not getting it. Idk man...

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!!

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

ATL now too big to fail?

#offtopic my daughter got BTech Computer Science seat in VIT Vellore with a fee of around 5 lacs per year. She prefers to work at the completion of the program, and is above average in studies, and likes CSE. Is it worth the spend?

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

what tech companies are still hiring?

What's everyone's Halloween costume?

Saw the email about GPS ERP demand for staff and the training programs Deloitte is going to provide. I’m interested. Any suggestions about where to get started learning about SAP or ERP generally?

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

I’m a recent grad struggling to look after my health when I’m stuck in a cubicle 10+ hours a day. How do you juggle a healthy lifestyle with long hours at a desk?

People who work in any engineering capacity are usually very hardworking but it's not just because we have to be, it's also that we find this stuff really fascinating, kind of like a book you can't put down

Same BB58 dude that just posted...Looking to get a Hamilton khaki field mechanical...but can’t seem to pick between white or black dial...also a bit torn if I should get the field mechanical or the Field King vs Murph (as these are a bit dressier)....would be dope to get some thoughts?

Thoughts on the Tech investment banking scene in Charlotte, North Carolina?

First year in consulting, is it worth purchasing a car this early? I’m living at home and about a 45 minute car ride away from my home office. Any suggestions? What have you done?

I'm looking for some recent articles on social media best practices. Namely, why a client shouldn't use logos or brand names in organic posts. Any suggestions?

Shoutout to account peeps ready to explain why, actually, it isn't that much work and, actually, EOD tomorrow is plenty of time.

If one more ECD tells me to think of ways to hack social platforms, I'm going to go insane.

Who's got the most fishbowl points?

I'm extremely happy working at Havas, so it pains to me say what the leadership has done is both embarrassing and demoralizing. (cont.)…

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

When ppl talk abt mental health in adv, we neglect the topic of cognitive dissonance. Most of us work on clients that are terrible in some way - sweatshops, bad for enviro, unhealthy. How do u cope?

I realize I’m being a dick, but why is it that every recruiter is 24 and clueless now?

As part of the interview process, a company is asking me to concept a 360 integrated campaign with presentations to multiple teams. Is this normal?

I’m looking to make the move to London — what are good smaller shops there? Any recommendations for how to take the plunge into shifting from the states to there? How to get an in into networking etc

I really need to know. Does anyone genuinely care about their jobs anymore? Money aside.

Why are Product Design portfolios so boring? Has anyone seen a good one lately?

Has anyone tried LinkedIn Premium while on a job search? Is it worth it, would you recommend, and why?

Tell me stories about your first days in advertising when you made no money so I feel better about myself for being overworked and broke. Thanks fam.

have you ever accepted a job you were maybe underqualified for? how did it work out?

How long did you stay at your first job?
And what made you change places?

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

R/GA vs Critical Mass?
