Anyone else starting to feel nervous about the extra $600/week unemployment going away? Also, is it just me or does it seem stupidly misguided that the Senate/WH prefer to send another stimulus check instead of extending unemployment benefits? Stimulus checks go to a much smaller subset of the population and aren't necessarily going to help those impacted by COVID layoffs. Not to mention the argument that it disincentivizes people going back to work is dumb when there are no jobs to return to.

Are layoffs a thing now? Is the time of “The Great Resignation” and employees holding the cards over?

How will federal contracts be impacted because of COVID? I'm on the beach & slightly nervous.

Interviewing with RGP next week, thinking it’s a similar model to Siegfried. BUT they don’t pay you while on the bench, benefits are covered still. Should that be a deal breaker? Company has great reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed otherwise.

If you get laid off due to performance in a protected state, will you employer still be required to pay out accrued vacation, sick, and personal days?

How is your agency managing the war for talent these days in terms of retention? I’m a little at odds with mine where we seem to be giving promotions and higher pay to any and everyone who gets an offer elsewhere. In the long term I don’t see how it benefits us to have talent with further inflated titles running things they aren’t skilled for. It also makes ppl like me who had no intention of looking want to look just because. Curious what others are experiencing/feeling?

Any thoughts on this offer for a Grad at a boutique?

What are your thought in job hopping? I feel like recruiters are reaching out daily to offer a newer, higher paying position at competing PR agencies. Does it look bad to switch large agencies every 1-2 years? The pay raise is over 10k but I feel like this may make my resume look unattractive in the future since I switched companies during COVID.

Does KGS provide internet bill reimbursement?
