Cooley was dragged when it did layoffs because it impacted Asians more. Colleagues at Gunderson have begun noticing that layoffs have impacted diverse people more. Obviously not surprising given that the partnership is like 90% white and 80% male. Just thought people should know. Edit: 84% of partners and 85% of associates are white (according to Chambers Associate).

Hi all,

Seeing some posts on layoffs in barclays. Is it true and which category of Employees will fall in that list.

Did someone get fired in the new manager training in Orlando after getting drunk?

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?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Did Epsilon just go through a round of layoffs ?

Hi Folks. Switching from product base to service base at level 9 in accenture in SAP Domain .
Can some1 explain how the journey starts from day 1.
Heard Noise abt client interviews , bench process,layoffs etc etc.
Need Serious Comforting advise.

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❤️

Fishes need ur help...my friend s been laid off without notice...any quality analyst jobs please let me know....would be really grateful 2 u all...

Hi does schneider Electric layoff people.. How is job security?

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.

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Anyone relocated from Toronto to London recently (within the last 2 years or so)? My partner and I are contemplating the move...we want more diversity in our lives and want to work to live, not live to work as we do here in our respective consulting jobs. Folks who have made the switch, would you be open to sharing your experience? TIA

How much severance should you expect after getting booted after 1 year. I got 3 months salary

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Have you ever seen a client fired in mid-production?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Is the market making anyone else depressed? The Fed will print, prices will go up, and it’s going to eventually end up in currency collapse.

Influencer Marketing remains a black box in the business. In y’all’s opinion; Who are the key players in the influencer space?! Agencies, tech companies and private companies? I want to follow companies who are doing it big and correctly

Does anyone know what purple tables mean in Excel?

I know about green and orange, but never saw purple before and trying to figure it out.

Hey guys, one question. My H1B will start on Oct 1st, and I am planning to visit my home country to get H1B visa stamp. I filed my amended state tax return a year ago and did not hear from them. Does it affect my VISA or entry to the US? Or should I call them to check the status of my status tax return? Please advice

Tell us about the kind of briefs that you hate working on.

Me: I used to handle creatives for a construction material company and totally hated working on the festive whatsapp briefs.

Hey! Are there any art directors willing to chat over zoom? I’m a recent grad and I need some advice about jump starting !

Safest wallets / exchanges for buying VET and safe moon? 😭

Are there any M fish in here who travel for work frequently? 29 F, frequent business travel & looking for someone who also lives out of their suitcase :)

Anyone know of any tech jobs out there that seem complex? Ones that someone can do with zero schooling but lots of experience behind them?

I’ve been in therapy (off and on, but mostly on) for almost three years now. My therapist suggested I try a low dose anti anxiety med to help manage. Have you tried one? Did it help, why or why not?

Where and how do you search for new opportunities?

I use LinkedIn, my network, search key words in Google for adverts and look on organisation's careers pages.

Is there a more structured way for me to do it?
Any websites that I should check out?

I'm looking for strategy type work outside of London.

Hoping for some guidance - I’m making the move from advertising to tech and finding it difficult to figure out appropriate salary ranges. I’m nervous about asking for too little or too much.

Are there any resources that you would recommend with the exception of Glassdoor?

Hello! Has anyone ever built a campus recruiting structure for a company? Meaning they started from scratch and built out campus recruitment? What was the pros and cons? Also, what was your salary, how long did you stay there and did you enjoy building this out?

Hi Fishes,

Does mindtree accepts counter offer?? If yes how should I approach them and how many days before do I need to do it?

Question for F🐠. Someone asks you to keep them company via text, social media, maybe a phone call sometime etc. You'll be payed to do this. Would you do it? And what are your terms?

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that I’m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I can’t gauge it anymore? And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.

Hey All - Can we agree to make a collective effort to reduce the repeat content here? Things are moving quickly and we don’t always have time to check, but having 2-4x of the same link/tweet/topic splits any convo and exhausts interest in engaging multiple topics bc new ones are hard to find.

Hi fishes,
Need 11 likes to activate DM.
Thanks in advance.

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

Real estate / real estate finance associates, is everyone still crazy busy or are you noticing a bit of a slow down? I’m at an Am Law 20 and was crazy this year through most of the summer, but have seen a pull back in workload / deal flow the past few weeks.

Anyone at Ogletree Deakins, Jackson Lewis, Littler, or Fisher Phillips who can share the latest on their remote work policies?

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?

Started at firm in second week of March and am at 1,700 right now, on pace for 2,000+. M&A 7th year. Who else is this busy? Keep reading M&A down across the board, but not feeling it here…

Obviously love the job security, but am at lockstep bonus firm and pretty sure at this point bonus will be on base scale last year, so kinda bummed about that.

Do you give the office manager (who does assist you with admin tasks from time to time) a christmas present (aka cash)? I have an admin assistant so that's an obvious yes but I don't know how to handle the office manager or receptionist!

I moved from construction to coverage and I absolutely loathe the work. Is it unreasonable for me to want to enjoy the work I do?

Building Wealth: has anyone ever bought property in Mexico, specifically Tulum area? If so, would you be willing to chat about it? I’m eyeing an investment property, but would like to know more about what, exactly, I’m getting myself into. Thanks.

When do you switch from first-year to second-year at your firm in terms of salary - at the end of the firm’s fiscal year or January 1? For context, my firm’s fiscal year ends in November and the annual billing requirements restart then.

Worst luck ever. My group was very slow from Jan through may, so I won’t hit my hours, but am now (and will continue to be) very busy…. About to do 1990 hrs the most painful way possible. Fml.

As performance review season approaches, I am offering my services to ghostwrite the BL Bowl’s annual self-evaluations. For an added fee, I will also attend your performance review. For an even bigger added fee, I will attend in-person.

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

-I want to bill more hours, so my goal is to become the type of person who bills at least 8 a day
-I want to drink less alcohol, so my goal is to become the type of person who drinks occasionally

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?

Paralegals: what’s your least favorite thing about working with attorneys?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

“Keep costs down”???? I am happy to keep costs down by not working on this ducking matter anymore. Maybe stop saying yes to matters that are too small to justify our rates and staffing an expensive senior person on them when you’re already dying trying to get anything staffed. You didn’t have to do shit on this matter, didn’t hear you complaining about my taking the lead and managing everything for you when that was happening. >.>

People who were lateraling without being on track for hours and seeking the year and bonus with the new firm, did the question of hours come up and how did you handle it during interviews to make sure you got the bonus from new firm?

How do you justify a $100k pay cut to go in house?

What are some company perks that king & spalding give their associates? (I.e. free food, work phone, comped lunches, etc.)

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

What is comp like in Minneapolis firms? Do some pay significantly better than others, or are they all the same? Spouse’s family in MN so considering a move, but I make DPW scale currently (am a litigation associate) and the salary estimate I got from a firm in MN would be 40% less than what I currently make! Cost of living and hours requirement slightly lower in MN, but nowhere near 40%! Are there any options that would not result in a drastic pay cut?
