Yes Deloitte has stopped all hiring and put on hold all campus hiring all hires in the que will either be re-evaluated or deferred. I hope they lift it quickly once this is behind us

MBA campus hires (full-time) received an email in early April confirming that offers would be honored, with start dates being confirmed by end of April.

We had someone join my team on 3/13 and another one joining on 4/20. I think a lot are delaying start dates though if and where possible.

My BU at Capgemini has a hiring freeze and hold on all campus hires

Protiviti isn’t rescinding any offers, but start dates may be shifted

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off? (I’ve only been able to find references to eligibility being based off of hours work preceding C19 sick leave - nothing about planned time off)

Got laid off due to Covid in July. I have been searching for a job for three weeks. Diligently looking and applying. I keep getting rejection letters and Linkedin resume views, but no offers. Not even a single interview. My resume looks great and experience is amazing. Anyone else in the same boat? Misery needs company 😝
