Should I go there so I can just coast for 6-9 months then get laid off for the severance?

You might be able to call that a good win....

Yes it did. No layoffs happening now. Stop spreading rumors. It’s not good for anyone.

Evergreen layoffs at Goodwin I thought. And fast hiring.

I’m a Goodwin associate and I wish I would get laid off tbh this place is hell on earth

Sucks sorry to hear this. I hope things get better for you, A9.

OP - do you want to share what exactly you have heard, if anything? Or are you just here to perpetuate rumors?

likefunny

Yes, I’m sure. I work there. Besides the fact that I would know based on my daily interactions, there have been several statements and assurances that layoffs are over. Some I think publicly but I’ll let you Google that.

I think the better question is, is there any reason to think layoffs are currently happening aside from a bunch of yahoos spreading baseless rumors? No one here has given any reason to think so.

A2, you wouldn't know if your colleagues are being stealthed or leaving. They may have to sign confidentiality agreements. Saying that layoffs ended is something you're not qualified to say because you wouldn't know if it's true.

That’s literally their default. Let us know when they’re not laying people off - that would be a surprise.

I’m not saying Goodwin is the best place to work just stating facts that they are not laying people off and that you should get a life. That’s not drinking koolaid.

A2 - can you stop responding to every single comment? Does recruiting pay you to scour the Internet defending the little good will GW has left with students/laterals?

Haha - nice attempt at gaslighting. It seems my comments struck home. Please be well.

It’s definitely happening. Confirmed.

There are no layoffs happening - anything you hear to the contrary is simply not true. The firm is extremely busy. Don’t listen all the Goodwin hate on this site. It’s just bitter, cynical people being bitter and cynical.

there be no it

again holy sh

100% false. Not happening.

That's weird, since I was getting headhunted for a patent lit position at goidwin. But certainly possible they're still doing layoffs.

@A2 are you the managing partner at Goodwin?

Still happening?!
