I’m 32 and I love hiring older ppl (50 and up) there’s no fuss they just wanna do their job and don’t constantly complain about some marginal bonus, or free meals. They’ll take their steady paycheck and interesting job and are just happy to be there.

I feel bad too but anyone and everyone should be mentally prepared for this in this day and age, and if they're not then they're too naive or oblivious to their work environment.

On the plus side, there's never been a better time in our lifetime to be looking for jobs than now!

How old are you as you begin this new journey?

@SD1 - My dad just got laid off and is having trouble finding a new job because of his age. If you're hiring, let me know! His background is in managing software updates and implementations in healthcare.

SM1, that’s not my dept, but I’m happy to refer! I work at NBCU and we have offices all over! Just let me know

@A1 - these guys have been there 25+ years. Hopefully they can just retire. Longest I heard started in 80s and very high up in the company. It’s not like the company isn’t doing well, they were posting yoy growth% in teens.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

2 PwC India is a pure consulting firm. Salary better than PwC AC. client facing work. Can grow as a management consultant. Great Travel opportunities.

Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
