Create checklists and use that to go thru your work at night.

Take notes and make sure your leadership sees you doing this stuff.

If nothing else it will show that you are taking this serious

Stop multi tasking. Do and complete one task at a time. Also, I agree with A1. I always suggest a checklist of items to twice before sharing deliverables upwards. Finally, it never hurts to have a peer review your work.

I think printing stuff out is helpful if you can. I print and then don't look at it for a couple of hours. Then I can see things better

I have this problem too. Somehow I can sit down and review something 15 times and still have a partner or director tell me I missed something and I'm being sloppy. Don't know how to do it alone. I always need a 2nd pair of eyes but sometimes you don't have that option.

I have to give this feedback to a lot of people... I think it's always worth spending the extra couple of hours to carefully self review your work. It saves me time and makes you look better. Win win

Checklists is a good idea. For slides, spelling, consistent formatting, page numbers, etc. for excel, gut check your numbers to make sure they make sense. It makes you look really stupid when you show me the ROI of something is 32872%.

Walk away from it for an hour then come back and review with fresh eyes. Make the checklist A1 mentioned and use it with your fresh eyes. It won't do you any good to use a checklist right after you complete it. You still won't see anything.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
