Laid off? No. We’d wait until 2020 at this point unless it’s dire. Don’t want to do that before the holidays.

Fired, on the other hand? Yup. Whenever it needs to happen.

I’ve seen it, but it’s straight up evil

You’ve seen it in consulting?

Lay offs in the last two weeks of the year: Absolutely, specially because some companies don’t want to pay the end year bonus (you have to work ALL year)

i am incredibly livid at the way my firm laid me off, claiming it was performance based when i know it was bc of some unrelated conversation about wanting to broaden my professional bandwidth. I had great reviews.. and those whose performances were below mine, have been promoted. I’ve had to hold my tongue, swallow my pride during my final call and play dumb even though i wanted to call them out on their bs. Trying to get over this but i hate feeling powerless and undermined

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy.

Looking for some advice; I've been a paralegal for about 5 years now, and the past year or so has been hard. One firm closed, which dropped me in another firm which was never good for me, and then into another with a culture that was really unhealthy to me. My resume shows a few short stays at firms, and now I'm looking at moving after six months due to issues that turned over the entire paralegal team so far except for me. How do I show employers I'm a dedicated worker after a difficult year?
