Does anyone know how many people got laid off at Saatchi and Saatchi Wellness?

Could you share what sort of severance package you received if your role was impacted due to recent tech layoffs?

Thinking about starting an OF... since we aren’t getting raises this year. In all seriousness, I like being watched. But I’m too afraid to be found and get fired. My husband has a job now so maybe I can finally live my dream. Thoughts?

@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.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Layoffs ke posts dekhke dimag kharab ho raha…I have already resigned and set to join accenture after 2 months. Kuch panga to nai hoga na? Will they revoke my offer due to slowdown/recession?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

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). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

There were substantial layoffs at firm and management has denied, saying they were performance related (mostly bullshit). They have not ruled out [further] layoffs in the future.

I don’t want to lose my job, and it would absolutely suck. But I almost feel numb and hard to even get too worked up over the prospect given how emotionally exhausting this year has been. Maybe bcz I feel somewhat safe, but I feel like if it happens, it does, and I’ll find a way to recover/move on.

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Anyone think Salesforce will have layoffs in the near future?

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

Anyone hiring a UX Designer in Atlanta? I know someone who got laid off

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

FX & Treasury Sales Job at a bank in India

I work at an US bank in a middle office role in India but I’m not liking it much because it’s process oriented. Now I’m getting an offer from an Indian based bank for the Treasury and FX sales role but I’m so confused about the job security and targets. My questions are below:

1) Will I be asked to work for 12 hours?
2) Will I be given targets and if I don’t meet it, will I be fired or something?

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

I miss not being able to turn on a baseball game as background noise while I do work around the house on a Sunday afternoon. It just makes the work seem less of a chore.

What is resource management group?

Curious to know how closely you (creatives) work with your strategy/ planning counterparts. What is the dynamic you share?

Hi fishes, anyone here who can refer me for mechanical engineering roles? I'm aero engine design engineer with 10 years experience working at Bangalore right now. Any referral is really nice appreciated. Thanks

Odd request, but does anyone have a post-TCJA international tax law school outline that I can connect with?

Stone Butch Blues. Read it for the first time this summer. So good (albeit controversial).

Hello! Is anyone looking for a TA Coordinator? I have over 10 years of administrative and talent acquisition experience, including recruiting on both sides, agency and corporate. My true passion is administrative and operational support. Located in NY, open to remote or hybrid. Thank you!

Are lifetime earnings in LMM really better than at MBB?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Come on Bears we need a win!

Single guy living in streeterville for the past couple of years and now very ready to move to some place a little quieter/ much cheaper / easier access to downtown. I have a car and probably looking to spend 12-13,00 a month for rent etc. so does it have to be suburbs?

recommendations for firm with good real WLB and open to remote work in Dallas or Atlanta? Doesn’t have to be true big law. Terrified to get it wrong…again… for the 4th time. 6th year Real Estate.

People who left recently (from EY or PWC), or going to leave soon, do you have mixed feelings on the mid-year raises?

Found out today my toxic manager bad mouthed me to an HR rep in a different division. This correlated with his bad management and abusive behavior. Luckily the new manager I’ll soon be working with dismissed it. Her words of wisdom “reflect on what you could have done differently, you can only control your actions”. How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

Congrats on the new job, Rich!

Hey Klicksters!

I just wanted to drop a little news on you for a Monday Morning - and not just any news, BIG NEWS. We have just hired a Chief Creative Officer for Klic

How long are you typically on the phone each day? My phone time has steadily increased throughout the pandemic to around 6 hours per day

I live in a no-income tax state but work for a company in NYC. I’m getting taxed around 15k bc NY requires remote workers to pay NY taxes. What would you do?

Best pharma agency in Chicago?

Looking for a media job very similar to klick health - equal pay & benefits. What other media agencies specialize in US pharma?

Has anyone ever worked at or heard anything on Wedgewood Communications?

Thoughts on Klick??? Very intrigued

Creatives, how do you show your pharma work on your portfolio? Under a password protected page? Emailed pdf? In person only?

How much notice do you think is appropriate to give? Have been working here for over 4 years and am a mid-level creative. Thank you!

Creatives who have done launches - how do you present your work in your book? Doubt anyone wants to see all 25 or so things I worked on but want to show the breadth.

I was offered a pharma role. I’m a little nervous given the backlash on here about “once in pharma you’re always in pharma”. But the role is a promotion, double my salary, super kind people (ctd.)

anyone else work at a health care agency that got acquired? wondering what to expect

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma

What do I need to know about making the switch to freelance?

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
