Got laid off on Friday. Three days and I'm already bored out of my mind. Besides Jim, what are people doing to pass the time in between job hunting?

LoL there's EY1 thinking within the box. Agree with PwC 10000% that's my plan hit some beach and spend 4 HR increments of work search play work search. Also highly highly recommend to volunteer and no not an F'n soup kitchen. Use those consulting skills and apply them to an org who could not afford to hire you..you'll likely connect better with someone on the board but regardless during interviews it will stand out and is useful to speak to vs stating you spend your full time job finding a job which is absurd in this day and age of tech.

If I got laid off, I don't think there would be down time. My new full time job would be job hunting

Exactly right A1, why fully devote yourself to the job hunt? I retract my previous statement OP, and instead encourage you to take the advice of someone else that got laid off

OP which service line?

@OP I am in the same boat - I hang with friends who are also unemployed, and when I'm not doing that, I sleep, gym, go outside, it's summer time, enjoy the weather! Take a trip somewhere, plan it!

What service line

OP if you don't mind sharing rating, level, service line?

Jim's friend? At the same time?!😉

Public Sector Healthcare is my service line

Got a 3 on both PEs, my first year at the firm ... Heard from my counselor after I got laid off that they have never seen the firm like this since the economic downturn in 2008. Things are not looking good right now I guess

@OP public sector healthcare isn't a service line. What branch of consulting were you in?

Sorry meant to include industry and service line... HC

Were you staffed?

Just finished my project.

Damn that's rough. First year experienced hire?

So, a spot I made (concept to completion) got shelved due to COVID forcing the client’s marketing plan to change. During that time, my partner and I were laid off. Recently, the spot aired, but the agency credits a different team for the work – me, my parter, and my CDs aren’t listed. Do I ask the agency to correct it? Just throw it in my book with explanation? Just take the L and chalk it up to that being how the industry is?
