Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient
Layoff going on in Synechron ?

🥱🥱 you can’t never trust nobody

PwC has provisionally cleared me to join the firm first week of Jan. What does this mean? Can I start working with them even if the background check is still running in parallel? Can I quit my current job and expect everything to be cool? They said it's taking them longer to verify education and previous employment. Both of which are international.
Hi guys, Now VMware is offering me a 35% percent hike of what I am earning at DellEmc. I just completed one year at DellEmc. Total 2.7YOE But I don't like to go out of Dell, due to some personal commitments I am planning to switch.
Is it a good time to switch?

Are they able to hike the salary of what VMware is offering? Please suggest me.

Honestly I would not even bother contacting them out of respect. After breaking up with someone you don’t congratulate them when they get into a new relationship

Firing someone is traumatic. Every single woman I’ve fired has cried. Exactly, why would I remind them of the awful event? Lay-off is only slightly less traumatic. Still a lot of anger usually.
congratulate them. it’s the least you can do.
Better question. Why are you still connected with said person on LinkedIn? 🧐 If you fired them, move on with your life.

I would congratulate them instead of a like. A like could be mistaken as a passive aggressive gesture
And don’t congratulate them with one of those prewritten messages. There’s nothing as soul crushingly insincere as a string of identical “Congrats _____” comments.

They're probably better off and dont care about your opinion either way.

Do nothing. You’re probably the last person they wanna hear from.

This is true
Looks like they stuck it to you champ
I would leave it alone

Can depend on the context, why'd you fire them? If it was more of a lay off, then I'd definitely like it.
My first instinct was to like & congratulate - something I would routinely do with any of my contacts.
They were fired by one of my managers after 4 months on the job. Just not a good fit. No hard feelings but tough because the person also moved quite far for the role and now moved back.
I’m inclined to leave it alone. Removing them from my network also seems a strange move - who knows what the future holds?
Just leave them alone and let them enjoy the moment. If u really feel the need to reach out I’d shoot them a DM depending on how the partying went. ‘congrats and wish u all the best on your future endeavors, genuinely happy for u’
I like the personal DM. I’ll consider that.
Is the job better or worse than the job this person had with your firm? Did he/she likely receive a pay bump or take a cut?
