Been in an ad agency for almost 3 yrs. Recently got laid off. I have no digital (besides social) in my book, and I’m losing opportunities for it. General Assembly course? Any other suggestions?

Anyone know if all the layoffs have been completed/announced yet? Honestly, I love my job and there's nowhere else I'd rather work. Want to know if I can exhale yet.

How is Lowe's India in terms of Tech Stack, Job Security and WLB.
My joining is next month, should I consider joining it as an SE, considering the current scenario of layoffs and recession in IT market.

Coworker got fired because they stole my clients! We have a policy stating that the realtor who initiated the contact should be the one closing the deal to give them a fair chance. I feel bad but they should have read the policy...

Laid off at PwC. It was more of a relief than anything. Anyone have any knowledge on openings at smaller (but not necessarily boutique) firms? Human Capital / Change Management related field.

Are there layoffs happening in Deloitte USI too? If so, do you know which practices?

Is severance taxed higher? I got 1 month of pay but seemed to be taxed much higher

Counselor never talked to me about my year end review and it was never released to me, I still haven't had my comp discussion. Didn't get the comp email or any PPB in my paycheck, am I getting fired??

Just a joke, take it as a joke-

Hi Fishes

Please advice
I am currently working in TCS (11LPA 10 years Exp)

DXC hired me for Indian client .My job profile on system admin. Work will be on Legacy Technology. Do I get chance to upgrade to cloud and shift to different Client

Most of the review on DXC is negative. How will be job security and work life balance. In most review I see "termination & layoffs." How is current situation in 2022

Hi,

Is this a good time to join HP? As they have recently announced 6000 layoffs in 2 years.

I read to the kids a book that ended with a line like, "If it was a good story, start all over."I told the kids I really only did that once in my life regarding a book about a teacher going to teach in Africa. In reality it was about a missionary. I hid the name of it and what it really was about. In other instances I've also explained the meaning of life is to love sacrificialy without telling them the source. I feel guilty hiding the Truth. How do you speak the Truth without being fired?

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.

Any news on layoffs/recession in banking industry?

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

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

Is it normal to negotiate for a bigger severance package if it happens within the first year? Because Meta may have something for me but TBH I'm nervous about their hiring freeze news.

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems. Then I remembered that I drive an SUV, not zero emission, and I'm not doing much better for the environment than they are. I'll just ask them what if the climate change believers are right and see what they say.

My account partner is doing a terrible job and will be getting fired—timeline TBD. Given we are living in a pandemic, I want to give them a heads up to start job hunting. How inappropriate is that? How could I do it?

The 'F Word' in advertising is the word "forced." As in, "feels a bit forced." Not only can it make you question any idea, it can make you rethink your entire life & every decision you've ever made.

What do account people do at your firm? At mine it seems to be just forwarding emails between the client to the strategy/analytics/creatives who do the work and back. Surely not like this everywhere?!
