Executives are starting to get fired around here. 🤜🤛

I was just laid off due to COVID. Felt invincible when the crisis began but now feel lost as if my career was ripped out with the tide. Slowly gaining motivation to get back on top

NDAs - signed my first one as a part of a severance agreement. thinking about leaving an honest review for this company, but unsure about the liabilities that come with this. (NDA mentioned no defamation) leaning on the side of letting it go, but this employer sucked BAD and i want others to know. ik its hard to give a straight answer bc it depends on the agreement, but wheres the line between bad mouthing vs your honest experience?

Is current layoffs only happening in Amazon US offices or Amazon India offices as well ?

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

Anyone worried about layoffs?

I am interviewing for a Sr. Program Manager role at Adobe. Glass door says ~252k. What a typical base would be? How does adobe feel in the market right now as far as layoffs and expansions?

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

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.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

Recently laid off and looking for recruiters that specialize in media/strategy/advertising (both agency and client side). Sure there are others looking as well - would greatly appreciate any info.

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

looking for advice for my partner who is a data scientist at an ad agency in NYC. He had been working 70+ hours a week on a project that fell apart while he was on vacation due to it being passed to a junior person who didn’t understand it, and he got blamed. Afterward he said he was burnt out to his manager and then was fired a week or so later, even though the project recovered. Is there grounds here for wrongful termination? How does he argue for more severance?

Does anyone from EY have insight on layoffs? I'm seeing horror stories from other firms but haven't heard anything about EY layoffs. (Manager, FSO-Advisory-Risk)

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

My firm doesn’t match my 401k — still worth opting in?

Everyone's still arguing about if Pluto should be a planet, and here I am just thinking about how awesome it is to have ICE VOLCANOS...

For those who use property management companies to manage your rental properties, what are the services that you really value and will switch out to a different one if not getting such services?

Just joined a 300 person startup as a mid-level manager. Is it appropriate to send email to C suite to say hi and introduce myself?

How do I get Spotify to work in the EY office?

Sometimes my anxiety is so intense I can’t clearly articulate my thoughts and I have to laugh it off like I’m tired. But I’m not sleepy.

Anyone else feeling particularly out of whack the pst week or2 ? I feel out of touch and out of control; inspired but unmotivated, drinking and smoking a lot of pot ; anxious but not worried, insomnia

Two weeks ago I attended an interview in person and they promised to let me know whether or not I’d be hired for the position. Later, I learned through LinkedIn that a friend of mine got the job. The agency never contacted me to let me know anything. Should I be mad?

New offer. What does this mean?: “Policy is that we don’t consider the green card until someone is at 2.5 years prior to the last extended date on their current visa.”

Can you put spec work in your book?

Dumb question - if we were to donate money to support Ukrainian military, how would it help them? Like who would buy weapons and how to give it to them while there’s a war going on. I would guess to bring things to western border and they would come grab but that seems risky still

I am so tired of TV shows glamorizing prison life. It's not pretty, it's not nice, it's something rational humans should avoid in their lives.

What are some of your favorite science podcasts to listen to?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Shoutout to account peeps ready to explain why, actually, it isn't that much work and, actually, EOD tomorrow is plenty of time.

Did anybody work at Red Fuse? Curious on everyone’s thoughts. Liked their work

I like everything about my agency except my partner. Do I leave if they don’t have the budget to get me a new one?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

For all the Q3 and Q4 misses, looks like most of our agencies are projecting big rev increases for Q1. Trump effect 📈 ?

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

Media arts lab. What does everyone think about it? Culture/work life etc?

Want to get your opinions on the best small agencies in LA in terms of work produced (media and creative)

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.

Was interviewing for a dream job before COVID, but it was put on hold the week nyc shut down. Should I give up on the job, or will some agencies be able to hire once this ends?

Any word on Swift in Portland?

Overheard: "How can you 'imply' cheese??"

Back to work tomorrow guys. Four days off and I forgot all about it.

Well, the good news is it just got a lot less expensive to experience the dream of hiring Morgan Freeman to narrate your manifesto video.
