Another round of ogilvy layoff

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

Hi all, I have offer from TCS, Tata Technologies, and capgemini, Tata Technologies and Capgemini offering same ctc, for tcs it is very less, considering layoff situations which should be the wise decision in terms of job security and wlb

I have been laid off going on 3 months now and I’ve never felt so discouraged in my life. This job hunt for me has been frustrating and draining. It really has taken a toll on my mental health and maybe even confidence. I feel like I’m losing momentum. Any advice on staying positive throughout this journey? It’s so hard to stay upbeat and motivated at times.

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

Was recently laid off by EY, can anyone here from industry can refer? I am from Tax and would like try out industry opportunities. Any help is appreciated.

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Is job changing a good idea at this time? Considering recession, mass layoffs.

Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.
