Are the “here is a list of laid off employees at my company please hire them” LinkedIn posts genuine? I read it as “I was able to navigate this crisis better and avoided getting laid off”.

Let’s not judge people who are trying to do a nice thing. Things are already difficult.

I guess that’s my question - are they trying to do a nice thing or just making a statement to their network?

I noticed writers/journalists used to do this a lot on Twitter whenever there was a round of layoffs at one publication or another. From what I understand, it's just a show of support that rarely, if ever, results in folks getting hired.

LinkedIn might be different though.

They genuinely meant well...it just didn't result in job opportunities

I thought it was a bit insensitive. I hope the people posting lists got an ok by the individuals on the list..privacy and such still matter despite trying to be a helping hand

You could look at it either in a positive or a negative light. Since this COVID affected a large population, it says nothing about people’s skills, hence it’s safe to be on that list.

At this point, it’s a game of numbers, the more people sees your resume, the higher probability you have at finding a new job.

While you look at it from the lense of an employee, a recruiter or hiring manager might think differently.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
