For deciding what employees get furloughed and laid off, the big time leaders should ask the employees who it should be. An anonymous poll. Us losers on the ground know a lot more than they do!

Did Epsilon just go through a round of layoffs ?

Hi Sharks,

I got an offer from FTD for permanent work from home. But i am not sure about the company.. Also the market conditions are bad too.. There are many layoffs from various companies.. Looking for suggestions..

Heard bumblings over HH today of a second round of Deloitte Tax Chicago layoffs after busy season. Thoughts?

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Hearing of layoffs with some Chicago agencies. MSL...Porter...Ketchum...others? Sign of bad economy coming? Hate to sound skittish, but I lived through 2008

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 you were an Uber employee that got laid off, how have you been faring?

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.

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Did someone get fired in the new manager training in Orlando after getting drunk?

Anyone concerned about the alleged “stealth” layoffs? Wondering which firms are doing this…

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

Laid off in August. Just wrapped a 4 round intrvw w a big name agency... but another candidate got the offer. ISO of agencies hiring. I’m happy to share a portfolio and conversation with all in NYC.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

The son of the owner where I work has been coming to work with a gun showing it off to people. He got into an arguement, put his hands on another employee and threatened to put a 9 bullet in his head. I suspended him and opened an investigation. The owner is mad and feels my case is biased and suspended me. He admitted guild and its not about what happened but why! I need to protect the business & secure the victim to lessen the chance of him reporting this to EEOC or DHL. He's being a dad

Does anyone mind looking over my resume and giving some feedback?

I have an informational interview with a director of a consulting firm. I’m currently in banking. It’s just been 6 months at this job for me. It’s too slow for me. How do I tell this director why I want to work with him and justify why I want to leave my current firm just after 6 months? I’m an analyst and the role I’m targeting is also analyst level role

In 2015 different governments in the US collected $5,175,829,952,000 to service 321,230,000 people. That’s over $16,000 per person. Anyone else find this shocking?

Hey everyone I’m a new graduate with a bs in industrial and systems engineering currently looking around for full time opportunities. One role that caught my eye is sales engineering. I wanted to ask for opinions on this career path in terms of pay and career progression. Does it have good exit opportunities? What does the career growth typically look like for this role?

Anyone in downtown bk or Williamsburg wants to join our board game group?

We are currently a group of 3, but one person is moving to west coast soon, which reduces our board game options and complexity!

We tend to hangout with limited groups of friends and meet up at least every other week. So ideally just want to find 1-2 more like-minded people to join us.

If you are interested, please leave a comment with what are your top 3 board games and a description of your personality :)

Any thought on tax resolution or going to work for a tax resolution firm?

For the one year of work experience requirement to get CPA license in CO, when did you qualify? Do they just do 1 year from DOH or do you need to have charged 1,800 hours of client work?

Which of the DC metro offices does Deloitte tax general sit in? McLean?

At any level above Senior, how do u manage the relationship between utilization and realization, which is an inverse relationship. Seems to be either blow the budget (and write it off), or eat a lot of time.

What are your top 3 favorite pharma directors? I haven’t shot pharma in a while and don’t have extensive experience in it. NY based directors a nice plus but not a must. Forget COVID, just trying to refresh my memory and look at reels. I’m based in NYC, if that matters. Budget is decent. Thanks!

I quit today :)

My partner has become rather dismissive and exclusionary. Noticed signs of this behavior in the past but lately Im seeing it more clearly

Whats the best way to handle? I want to keep the peace

These are unprecedented times. One day I’ll look back and tell my grandkids how *I* thought of the social media execution for my agency and saved the world.

How many benign accomplishments have you been “proud to announce” on LinkedIn?

Thoughts about Giant Spoon?

Can we please be done with vertical video? It’s completely opposite the human field of view, looks horrible, no camera other than a cell phone shoots it. Seriously dreading IGTV.

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

I've written nearly all my friends' Tinder bios. And they're actually getting more matches. Definitely gonna put that shit in my book.

What’s it like producing at 360i NY?

My controversial opinion of the day is that organic social is worth fuckall for the majority of brands (including the trendy lifestyle ones) and that influencers are just propping up vanity metrics.

Here’s to the introverts finally getting a chance to have a little control over how and when interactions happen with others.

Any thoughts on how to handle working with coworkers who are very friendly/well-liked by most but are utterly mediocre at what they do and just want to coast? Makes me feel like I’m the difficult one.
