Anyone have experience with being laid off after coming back from maternity leave? My family member recently did and we have email documentation that it’s related to her maternity leave...

Hi all,
I’m a practice manager with about 7 years of healthcare industry experience, 4 of those at a managerial level. My background ranges from research, process improvement, business development, some data analytics. I’m really looking to find a remote (or hybrid) position in San Diego, CA. If anyone has suggestions on organizations hiring, etc. would love to chat!

Last year when Covid broke, I received a couple of interview calls but ignored them as I felt the organization kept me at work when other companies cut short their HR staff so I should be with them even if with no appraisal. But now, I was living in the fool's paradise when I am told to leave with no job offers in hand, car and home loan, dependent parents, expecting jobless spouse with a 3-year old kid.

Hearing of layoffs with some Chicago agencies. MSL...Porter...Ketchum...others? Sign of bad economy coming? Hate to sound skittish, but I lived through 2008

Blue shield of CA fired 375 people. Any other insurance companies having massive layoffs?

I got that coveted big law job.

But I would much rather want a family of my own and someone to hug and kiss, something I feel really sad about around christmas.

Never had much contact with my dad, and two years ago, I broke off contact with my mother because I realized that she had been a manipulative narcissist my entire childhood.

Working 50-60h weeks on average doesn’t help your dating life though, and who would want to date someone with no family anyway

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?

Have you ever worked on pharma/healthcare projects that you personally disagree with (whether i.e how they do business, their political affiliation, their drug pricing, etc)? What was that project like and how did you deal with it?

Anyone know what the New Family Leave Benefits they plan to introduce at Pdub are and when they kick in? Wish they’d announced everything at one go instead of in installments like this.

Between two offers, "Associate Principal" for m&a consulting in the Healthcare industry vs a Director at a F300 company doing M&A and Partnerships. Consulting pays about 50k more. What does the future look like in consulting? I am a bit nervous jumping from from "industry side" to the "consulting side".

Can someone please tell me in detail about the child care long term sabbatical leave at tcs?
What is the process, for how long and until what age of the child can it be availed?

For those who work 100% remote with their company, what health insurance provider does your company offer? (ie. UHC, Aetna, BCBS, etc)

Have layoffs been finished for the year or are more coming?

Hi everyone, I am looking to join a team ! I have 4 years of recruiting experience within the healthcare and staffing industry. I would love a remote position or on-site positions within the DMV area. Please let me know if you know of or have any opportunities available. Thank you !

Have a shoot next week that’s coinciding with a blizzard. I’ve yet to deal with Mother Nature interfering with a shoot... any tips / tricks for preventing this from turning into an utter shitshow?

Tips for documenting requirements during a BPR/TPR? (this is my first project)

I’m gonna cry. In consulting I’m told I’m too geeky and have poor soft skills. I just interviewed at a tech firm and they said I have perfect soft skills but I’m lagging on my tech.
Who am I anymore?!

State of Ohio:
Anyone have experience with Dept of Public Safety? Are they disorganized? Do they have a bad culture? I am starting to think they suck based on my application experience with them , compared to other state agencies.

What would you suggest as a salary % increase to jump to another firm? I’m being recruited for a Sr Mgr role at EY which looks like a promising opportunity. Any comp sites other than glass door?

Any Insurance Broker Account Managers in Oklahoma (Health/Life/ Employee Benefits)? Would you be willing to share your salary information and any information about your work load/the amount of groups you manage and their size as well as your years of experience? I’m trying to determine if mine is comparable to what others receive. Thanks for any insight!

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Notice there are so many people with debate experience in consulting. Kinda impressed. Any highly recommended books related to debate or communication in general?

Any tips for pitching a raise? (Besides showing an offer from another company)

Officially on maternity leave for 8 months after today!! I also got the green light for promotion, pretty happy with all things Deloitte right now! 👌🏻👏🏻

Hey FB fam. I’m putting together Financial success resources. If you have any books, articles or podcasts in relation to personal investments or real estate you recommend, please feel free to share 🙃

Wtf is this lax traffic right now

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

Anyone else notice how ever since that research came out that said performance reviews are BS, HRs everywhere have been saying “We don’t do a traditional performance review.”

Meanwhile I’m over here with you telling me to rate employees on a 5-point scale. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
