Sorry to hear. I got laid off last year. It was crushing but the generous payout softened the blow. Then Had multiple offers within a month. Found a role I absolutely love. So keep your chin up. Better things await!

Did not use any external legal counsel. Please DM me if you would like to discuss anything specific.

What was your payout? Did you get the standard 2 weeks sev for each year worked?

Hang in there! Everything happens for a reason.

I ask because of course this varies by state. Look for a reputable employment attorney in your local area. Best of luck, and I’m sorry.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
