Just got laid from my job today due to restructuring... have worked on Coty inc, BMW USA and Clifbar. Any leads or advice is much appreciated...

Just a joke, take it as a joke-

Recently Better (dot) com's employees were fired from the job.
If you are some HR/Senior management personnel and hiring them.
You should reconsider your decision as they will make your organisation BETTER. :-)

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

We have a big project going on and I am the only point person(initiate it, did lot of work, and knows the deets well), seems like my mgr wants to get a headcount. But I want to use this opportunity to get promoted, how can I get this across? Mgr is new(they fired my old mgr), mgr’s mgr is new too(re-org). So not sure if I should/can make a case, or how.

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

When are the layoffs going to start? Anybody care to wager a bet?

Hey Accenture Team!
I’m a L9 consultant based out of San Francisco, California who was impacted by recent lay off at Accenture. I wanted to understand as per WARN Act California employees are to be given at least 60 days notice, however I was only given 3 weeks notice. Can I challenge this?

How often do you all train abs?

Hello all,
I'm currently working with Sun Pharmaceuticals as Manager Global Pharmacovigilance and I'm looking for a job in Pharma consulting. Can anyone please refer me?

I work as a worker’s compensation adjuster and I cannot seem to get the hand of loss of time. Been in the same role for a year. Any piece of advise? I have made several improvements but it feels like I’m dragging it out. Last question is how do you manage claims that you have not handle for months and you’re too scared to do anything.

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

We stay until 8 or 9 everyday and then at the end of every week my manager tells me to book only 40 hours. It sucks ass and now I have to explain to my counselor why my utilization is so pedestrian...

Our team got the Super Team Award for this quarter. However I would be leaving the firm this Friday. Would I be getting the reward amount?

What do you think:

Teachers should/should not discuss their opinions and ideas around sexuality, gender, and religion with students.

Where the PROs at? What other bowls are you all in? I will go first: consulting bowl and consulting memes.

Sigh. Whats the point of having a bowl if no one uses it....leaving.

Anyone apply to clerkships after working at your firm for a while? Any advice? Currently a second year putting out applications

Partners: I’m a sr. associate managing multiple cases without a whole lot of oversight. A few of the cases I am managing are very large, very fast, and very contentious. I try to be as immersed in the details as I can, but can’t know everything. I rely on others to give me accurate and actionable facts. Lately, the actions I have been taking have been based on wrong, inaccurate, or incomplete info. I then get reamed in M&Cs and look like an idiot. [Cont. in comments]

How do people keep themselves awake...reading this shit is so boring

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.

Does anybody else get that anxious feeling in their chest when their workload starts to pile up? When my to-do list fills up and the timelines start to get tight I really start to seize up and I think this is how I’m going to have a heart attack in my 20s.

Does Perkins Coie pay market salary/bonus? Are both lockstep? Any idea if they’ll hire fully remote?

Name and shame the firms doing stealth lay-offs.

What would be valid reasons for turning down a great lateral opportunity, and how to go about telling that firm no?

Anyone else basically become comatose on either Saturday or Sunday when you get a weekend without work? I have all of these things I’d love to do, but as soon as my brain understands that I don’t have to work, it’s like I completely lose all energy. It’s making me feel bad about myself. Any tips?

Do you have to give notice on a Friday? Why not whenever you’re able to give notice?

I’ve met my CLE requirements for 2020 and 2021. Now what?

Wondering what does a class of 2019 ip litigation lateral offer look like these days? Guaranteed year end end signing bonus? Anything else? Mainly curious about Southern California but all data points would be helpful

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
