Got laid off today. Remember to take a step back and not take all of this for granted. We're all pretty lucky to have this opportunity. And good luck to everyone up for promotion this year!

Good luck OP. take some time to yourself and recoup. Remember, you've been knocked down before, and maybe not this hard, but you will be able to pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, and 5 years from now you'll likely barely recall this wrinkle.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Means a lot. D1, luckily I don't have a spouse/kids/home/etc and have a great family and support system so I don't have to worry about finances much. I think it's all a blessing in disguise.

What was the reason OP?

Was it bad utilization and you're staffed on something now, or were you unstaffed when they laid you off? Also, did you set up your CRT or did the partner?

Anyone got C3A promotion letters from July 2021? Please comment

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Tomorrow, I know I will be asked to continue pushing forward with pre planned campaigns that upsell products and services that to groups already in dire straits. After the events of this weekend, I ethically disagree with acting “business as usual”. I’ll raise this with my team, but I anticipate a crossroads with leadership (I am fairly new, younger, junior, woman POC to the org.) If this results and BAU does not change, is it more right to leave my job? Or stay where change is needed?
