Severance and unemployment and not having to work for a bit? It’s nice for a bit but the problem is, it can take months and months to get something new.

Getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me

You don’t realize how much you need a break until you’re forced to take one. That unemployment check was a nice cherry on top. There will ALWAYS be another job!

Lol, how come ? Storytime?

I’d hate to get laid off, but I would 100% look at it as a push for a change. I know that I won’t be able to pick and choose much if unemployed, but I’d try to explore other industries

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
