Any agencies looking for a junior UI/UX designer? Had a friend get laid off.

Meta/FB laid off 11000 employees. Linkedin is full of these posts. Very sad & shocking to see this! Tough times ahead.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Those let go by Y&R/VMLY&R - did you get severance and how many months?

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

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.

Plural tutoring session anyone? Looking to do as a weekend job. Current target OPs are "Has there been layoffs" and "What's your thoughts" but happy to expand.

Did BCW NY just layoff it’s EA staff?! Seeing a bunch of these names on Connect and very upset that great people were let go!

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

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

Deloitte FL/PR is turning into a joke.. if firm morale wasn't already suffering from layoffs, they increase minimum hours through December while half the offices are unassigned. Abandon ship.

Hi Fishes @ PayPal. How’s the job security at PayPal? Are there frequent layoffs till L25?

I know this doesn’t count as an interview, but overall professional advice needed:
Any tips on asking for better severance pay?

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

EY interview Experience

I'm a Consulting Associate and have been with RSM since Fall 2020. I make 75k in Chicago - I think I'm underpaid(?). I get DMs from Big4 and I'm thinking about moving firms. Should I wait for the promo/bonus on Aug. 1 or just start looking now? I know for a fact I'll be getting promoted to Senior.

Is that good to go and survive in Jamaica. Accommodation would be from consultancy.

A friend of mine is trying to evict bad Section 8 tenants in the Bronx. Anyone know a good lawyer that can help with this. Please DM, thanks

Got a letter of default and acceleration notice from bank who repurchased my mortgage due to what they thought was mortgage fraud but wasn’t. I’m contacting a lawyer but has anyone gone through this? I know they want it off their books and suggesting I refinance but my rate will increase and they’re demanding legal fees too

PwC CMAAS or KPMG FDD? I have no idea what to pick, just sick of audit.

Just had someone in NYC I want to work for ask me my salary. It's illegal now but I didn't know how to tell them. I told them my range. What would you have said?

Is the emperor wearing any clothes?

Back to work tomorrow guys. Four days off and I forgot all about it.

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.

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

Hiii genz here lol, when is it too early to talk about a raise? I’m planning on bringing up the idea to my boss when I hit a year working with them is that a reasonable time?

And if you need me to provide more details I can! (I do fulfillment/project management in im making 40k)

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?

If the open office concept is so great for collaboration why does everyone wear gigantic noise cancelling headphones to try to ignore everyone around them?

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Confession: Sometimes I give money to homeless people that look like they might be an undercover billionaire looking for a kind soul to leave their fortune to. Does that make me a bad person?

What is the shortest amount of time you think you could work somewhere without burning that bridge?

Fo you guys respond to emails on PTO? So far I've gotten my inbox blown up the first two days of my vacation with "urgent" emails and emergencies. starting to resent literally everything.

I just got called about a job on Thursday, showing interest. They’re already back in the office so the job would require me to be. Said they’re classified as an essential business because most of their advertising is for healthcare. Is this a hard red flag? Really Seems like it.
