Apparently creative layoffs are happening later this month. Joy.

I have been interviewing for a new job but I keep hearing about layoffs and a recession coming. Is now a bad time to switch jobs?

Just a joke, take it as a joke-
.
Recently Better (dot) com's employees were fired from the job.
If you are some HR/Senior management personnel and hiring them.
You should reconsider your decision as they will make your organisation BETTER. :-)

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

What are some things a recently laid off junior can do right now that’ll benefit them once agencies start hiring again?

December layoffs anywhere?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Are there anyone here that can help with finding a job in health admin or admin position not having any luck on indeed!? I’m a New York native, I just moved to Las Vegas and I worked for the state for 12 years in New York and I came here to take care of my mom and as a contract worker for state of Nevada education. I was fired for discrimination reasons and now I’m out of a job I have a bachelors degree and applied to 123 jobs on indeed to be denied because I’m over qualified. HELP ANYONE

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

Hi all, My sister was yesterday laid off from Byjus. She is exceptional at sales and team leading, Kindly please refer and help if you know anything..

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

any telltale signs of layoffs in tiger?

I heard UKG has fired many employees this year?
Is it good for job security?

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

How is AirBnB ethical when its business model exists through legal arbitrage? It has functionally created rental property service without being subject to the same taxes and liability insurance of a regular hotel company due to the dubious claim of “It’s on the web.”

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

Looks for advice on how to stop spending so much money. I like really nice things and spend a lot of money to get them (food, clothes, furniture, apartment, gifts, etc.) I use everything I buy...

Can anybody tell me about this independence rule in KGS. Does my spouse also has to dispose off his stocks listed in restricted entry...I joined as Manager in advisory ..

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Could a position as an Office Coordinator be the same as Administrative assistant or could be considered as a higher role?

Currently a MS finance student. Recently secured a year long internship with the Federal Reserve researching commercial banking conditions. The role is tech heavy (python, R, Sql etc ) What kind of roles can I look into in the event there’s isn’t a return offer? Thanks

I’m asking to get my notice period waived. I have a 30 day notice period per the employment agreement I signed, but it says they can waive it at any time after I gave notice. Im not going to a competitor or even the same industry. How likely is for my current firm to allow this?

Have you ever walked out of a job with no notice?

Has anyone ever left finance (or know someone that has) to do something completely different? My experience is split between FP&A and accounting and while I have progressed, I am becoming depressed b/c I feel like I’m in the wrong field. I am generally a motivated, high performing person, but I al starting to slip up and care less, b/c my work is not satisfying to me. I know I just sound like a complainer, but does anyone have any advice?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Hey! For one of my project, I had to build macro to do data cleansing in excel. However template might change one day to another. Anybody knows good resources I can use to make this a sustainable ...

What small or mid sized NYC shops are doing good work right now?

How do you find joy in a business where you’re told “no” 100 times a day?

Which major agency do you think has the best branding? And the worst?

How long were you a junior?

Feeling especially Mondazed today. 😖 Any good recos to lighten up a morning?

Would you rather work at an agency or work client side?

Pretty over agency life, best brands to go client-side?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

have you ever accepted a job you were maybe underqualified for? how did it work out?

So now I have to live with the knowledge that someone named Young Gravy is out there

What is your agency’s maternity or paternity leave policy?

I’ve been working my ass off to make it to ACD and I feel like this milestone has been all-consuming. I’m close, I can feel it. But will I be full-filled when I get there? And if so, for how long? Curious to hear from others about their climb up the ladder and if the hunger and drive ever subsides to an acceptable level.

If you could change one thing about the ad agency culture, what would it be?

Most beautiful places to escape within three hours' driving of NYC? Forests, lakes, ocean, camping.

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️
