Anybody else see all the lame LinkedIn “Look at me, I’m in Cannes!l” posts thinking that it feels a lot like the orchestra continuing to play on the deck of the Titanic as it slowly sank? The ad industry, especially the HoCo world is in turmoil with massive layoffs, unprecedented job uncertainty and a very questionable future, yet all these “executives” jet off the France to drink wine, party, take turns watching each other sit on lame panels and pass out meaningless awards. Pretty fascinating.

Does your firm find out why you failed a clearance ? Asking bc I got fired from my first job out of college a couple years ago and didn’t report it on it company background check. I’m afraid if I fail my public trust, my current firm will find out and fire me for not reporting it on my prior employers.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. Im on the hunt for a new job and am fairly new to this lovely city. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

Hello everyone. I have 9 years of experience in iOS development. I have worked in swift, react native, reactjs, blockchain. Was working a product lead. Got laid off last week. Looking for an opportunity.
Thanks in advance!

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.

Like at this point just fire me idk what kool aid some of you are drinking

Does anyone from EY have insight on layoffs? I'm seeing horror stories from other firms but haven't heard anything about EY layoffs. (Manager, FSO-Advisory-Risk)

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

PROPOSAL: Can we start naming names with respects to layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts? Knowledge is power, and the only ones who benefit from vague exchanges of info. are the employers. Thank you!

Does anyone have any advice on how to convince yourself life is worth it when you think it’s not. I’m a 28 year guy, just got laid off from my job, have aspergers, have no friends, can’t find a gf, why do I even try anymore at anything

Did Epsilon just go through a round of layoffs ?

Has anyone seen firing in Deloitte India? Is there any process or employees are fired directly like few companies?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

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

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Is publisis sapient a good company to join.. Coming across a lot of layoff news on LinkedIn. I have an offer from sapient (YOE 4.2). Shall I join ??

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?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

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

Hi

Now i have better offers from pwc n kpmg
10lpa fixed.
Will accenture increase their offer. They wer not even ready to go till 8.5 last time. But now i have other offers in hand. Is it possible to go back and ask for improved offer n position even though i have accepted the old 8lpa offer from accenture 1 month back.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Any EY PPMD 🐠 willing to chat/connect? Interested in learning more about the cyber practice. I’m a new campus hire in the Hoboken office. Thanks in advance!

I don’t drive. Does that limit my activities if I am traveling to Hawaii ?

Happy 2017 everyone!! How's everyone feeling?

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

For those of you required to be in office- do people use the phone and email to contact you or do they still come by in person? People in my office seem not to understand how the phone works...
