Got "the invite" from a random PPD. I know it's a done deal, but what are the best next steps? Can I negotiate severance? Would love advice from others who have experienced this.

An invite from a random partner is usually a strong indication that you're about to be laid off. Haven't gone through this myself, but best of luck to you OP

Sorry OP. It's messed up they are doing that right before the holidays

So it's not a conversation with HR? Why does the PPD do it?

Sorry the hear this, OP. It may seem tough now but you'll end up much better in the long run. I hate to be this guy but what service area and level are you?

Sorry OP. Deloitte has been going through steady cuts for a while now, no?

When is the meeting?

OP, it happened to me. Email me at fishbowlfriend@gmail.com. Will be happy to provide advice.

From my experience, there was no negotiation of severance. It was pretty much a done deal

Thinking of you OP

I'm so sorry OP. What rationale did they give you?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
