How is everyone doing in ecvc? Are hours down? Any hiring freezes or layoffs? I’m not sure how these teams can stay as they are being so bloated after everyone switched to the practice over the past two years.

Has anyone survived a large round of layoffs at their company? Very curious about how you navigated that brave new world.

I’m in dire need of a job. I was recently laid off and was told it would take 3+ months for unemployment to review my claim. My depression is getting worse by the second. I barely got any severance pay to pay my bills. I’m looking for entry level BA and consulting jobs if anyone could help. Thank you.

Hi fishes and sharks,

Any idea which companies started or planning layoffs?

It may helps to others for planning their career, I heard Indian service companies planning from my project architecture.

#MAIPSummit2020:
How do you deal with layoffs?
-for those now suddenly unemployed, and
-for those who didn't get laid off but are now dealing with a bleak looking workplace

Considering some Indian startups laying off, do you think fintech startup will soon layoffs in India?

Just got laid off. Why hire so many people if you don’t have the work to support the staff? We can’t always control our bench time. This firm really is the fucking worst

Wow. KPMG fired head of audit practice. PCAOB leaked inspection info.

With all the rolling layoffs happening in the city this year, are any good account directors hanging out here, and also creative teams? We are looking for some additional support on a project

Oh well! Just heard from HR that PwC layoffs is an ongoing process.

I was told that severance would be 1 months pay for every year at the agency. Just found out when they did layoffs recently they only gave 1 week for every year. Is that negotiable?!

How are the projects coming along? Has there been a major impact on the consulting shops? Are layoffs expected ? 🐠 from Strategy&, BCG, Mckinsey, OW, Kearney please answer!

*POSTING THIS ON BEHALF OF A DEAR FRIEND*

A former coworker was laid off today, along with a few other people. She’s a Public Relations Executive, with lots of music and entertainment experience. I know these are hard times, but if you know about an agency or brand in need of staff members or freelancers, please don’t hesitate to reach out 🙏🏻 Thanks!

Unpopular opinion: I would rather be promoted “too early” and fired shortly thereafter because I didn’t perform up to expectations than be held back to “set me up for success” without getting a chance to prove myself at the next level. Does anyone else feel similarly?

I have an opportunity working for my dream company but I was told my salary expectations were too high. I was using my last job as a reference since this is a lateral move (I was laid off a few weeks ago). Was I overpaid or is this company just cheap?

Former TC: ~140k (125k base + 30k sign-on paid over 2 years + 50k RSUs w/4 years to vest)

YOE: 5+ years total; 2 years as PM

Laid off while on maternity leave, as part of larger agency layoffs. Any legal ramifications to consider?

I got in a little bit of trouble today. Has anyone gotten fired and did you get another job?

Is anyone else anxious that these media layoffs are going to saturate our market even more than it already is? 🌝

Hi ladies! Wanted to tell you about @smarterinasec, a new Instagram account I recently started. Every day, I do a deep dive on one topic + provide content recs on that topic to read, watch, & listen.

LM told me it’s a “boy’s club,” repeatedly silenced me by conducting meetings in a foreign language. Directors were aware, nothing was done. Leaving the company

Hi there! I was hired at a startup to run a department, coach, manage, and to occasionally assist with enterprise accounts myself. After 10 months, I’m still in a player-coach position with continued responsibilities being added to my plate. I feel I’m unable to truly coach my team due to my own deliverables. I’d really like to start applying elsewhere, but I’ve never left a position this quickly. In your opinion, will 10 months in a role look poorly even if my other roles were 2+ years?

Would you all think anything odd of your interviewee if they were to look up your profile on LinkedIn ahead of an interview?
Please be kind, I realize I may be overthinking!

Hey guys. I feel like Target is trying to low ball me. I have over 5-6 years of experience in Supply Chain. I applied to a Senior Inventory Analyst position and they gave me $82500.

I also want to state I live in Atlanta and under the job description their salary range for Colorado was $65k-118k… what are your thoughts on this?
Thanks!!

As long as both partners are satisfied, there is no need to benchmark.

How do you deal with overly sensitive colleagues or team members? Im experiencing a slight culture shock in the way my current company nurtures its culture. Everyone seems to be so so close, but not in a healthy way. Some over share their problem with their spouse, some appear to only have their colleagues as their main circle of friends, which in return make things really hard for you when you say the wrong thing or try to set your own boundaries

Hey all, I’m looking for some advice. What do you do when your own boss is a blocker to get your work done? My boss reports to the top tier, who is the person I need final approvals
