Cap on phone bill, no more platinum, rumours of layoffs, another pointless debate, demanding pricks and crazy deadlines. Enough right? Lets end the week strong 💪🏼 !!! Come on !!

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Hi all, i was fired today because i said the truth!! Isn’t that interesting?

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

My managers manager is getting fired. Am I screwed?

My managers manager is the chief revenue officer.

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

How terrible is workers comp defense? Got laid off and I’m assessing what jobs I want to go after and which ones are backups if I get desperate.

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

What are some reasons you’ve seen people get fired for? And how long did the warning process take, if any?

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?

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

Hi All, currently Visa is approved, stamping is yet to be done... But the package is 60k only and I heard from colleagues who are already there, that this is not sufficient...

Does American Airlines have any status partnerships with hotels or rental cars, etc? (Eg. Platinum Marriott will get you united silver)

For those who have started traveling again... I recently started flying for work and am noticing increased discrimination on Delta Airlines. As a brown person have experienced that in the past, but lately it’s blatant. I’m a diamond and a million miler however, I see more and more out of turn upgrades. Have you experienced and what dis you do about it?

Does anyone have experience working for Connections Academy or another virtual academy? I am very interested in teaching from home, but most virtual jobs I have reviewed still require you to come to an office/ school building. I want to know what it is like, specifically the work load. Would you say more or less than public? How does classroom management, amount of grading, and freedom of curriculum differ?

When your boss gives you 48 hours (clock hours not billable hours) to produce a viable objection to a MTD/compel arbitration in a complex commercial lit case, which is not my practice area, what kind of result is he expecting? From scratch, no template.

Anyone ever had a paralegal or legal assistant that just churns your files to no end, appearing busy and productive on paper but doing nothing to advance the cases and leaving you to handle every single aspect?

PwC 🐠 - Does PwC offer financial advising services for employees as a benefit?

Deloitte people. I confirm layoffs of 4 ranked individuals and this year it's been hard rankings. Many 3s forced into 4. I was on the calls. Beware. Not trying to scare. Sharing facts.

About to fly out of MCO. Please keep me in your thoughts that I won't punch a tourist.

Anybody successfully used the AmEx Platinum companion pass benefit? So many restrictions smh

The Mcallisters house 🙌🏻 #goals

The new grass protection panels on the small really emphasize the small crowd size. Thought it'd be much more bigly. So much white space - SAD!

Best consulting firms to target for Supply Chain & Operations Strategy apart from MBB after graduating from MIT SCM

Has anyone moved states and changed their home office / region? (Personal choice not project driven)....If so, what's the process? What approvals are needed?

Real consultants wear nice, designer shoes. Your rubber soled Rockports are cheesy.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Do you think firms should pay the same salary to everyone at the same level, or allow for variation within a band based on experience?

No promotion for me...time to quit!

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
