For those of you who got furloughed, did they ask you to sign a termination letter? Mine is asking us to sign that with a shitty severance and trying to mask it as a furlough “trying to get us back”..

...sounds like a lay-off to me. Also a way to spin it to get people’s hopes up without having to pay a severance deserved

A single mom that works in the medical field has an infant and she feared she will transmit COVID-19 to the infant by continuing to go to work. She was also worried leaving her infant to a babysitter will expose the infant to the virus. So she had to temporarily quit work to take care of the infant. She was denied unemployment because she wasn’t technically laid off. She’s struggling with her finances. Is there anything she can do to get assistant from the government?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.
