Directors! How long did it take you? Did you get promoted outside of your company via a new job? Or were you promoted internally while at your current company? I’m asking here because it’s diff for other races when they get promoted! It seems like the 4 women I trained are all Directors now! I’m in contact with them 2 said the Director got laid off! They got promoted into it.

I've had to move to be promoted. Most minorities not just us, often do so. They just don't talk about it as much. I have since learned to pay attention to the company's environment. If you don't see many folk who look like you above you, and even the tenure of the ones who do, take heed. MOST people regardless of race go to other companies for promotion and financial increase. Put yourself first, and strategize accordingly. If you have already trained multiple people to be above you, that should tell you that your company believes they can send people to you to be trained to be your boss. The good thing is that you do you job so well you can train others to be successful in your company. The bad unspoken thing is that you are likely doing your job so well that you are not easily replaced. I recommend that you stop training other folk and start applying for the next level job. Tell your leadership that you're interested in promotion and ask how to get there. If already have and even if you haven't, start networking and applying for that next level job internal and external to your company.

Thank you, we all got laid off. Two were promoted because the Director’s got laid off. They were already helping out by doing more of the work. The other two were by referrals. I’m definitely applying to roles at my current title & roles where my experience matches the title as well. I appreciate your feedback. Also, I was getting paid more than all of them. I had a job offer & they matched it. Every Director is not at Director salary. That I know.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.
