Grey Merge with AKQA, VMLYR merges with Geometry. Are those „mergers” just the coverups for potential wave of layoffs?

What is the severance pay in pwc India?
Does everyone who gets fired be eligible for it?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

ISO: experienced recruiter for a career consultation. Laid off a few times. Trying to make sure the next job sticks. I’ll compensate for your time!

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

More layoffs last week at Leo B. Seems they went after more Seniors & $alaries. Thank you France.

Layoffs at CDM ... again

Was there any affect on your project due to Melbourne shutdown..........I see another potential lay-offs wave coming for Deloitte😬

If you are laid off for hours, what is a neural reason for saying that your employment ended? Especially if there is a month or two break in finding employment.

Hello Fishes,

I have been thinking a lot lately about job change. Afraid of layoffs and recession hitting soon. Should be worried about these layoffs and recession that is across the corner.? My exp is 5yrs java fullstack with devops tech stack. Pls do let me know your thoughts. Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

BCG folks, I hear rumors of layoffs happening given the slow pipeline. Is it true?

As many of us navigate the challenges of negotiating during Covid layoffs, my question is what do you think is a good, fair and realistic salary for an independent agency to offer a Creative Director with 10+ years of experience in metro Detroit, considering the current economic climate?

I think everyone will agree with this that in last 1-2 years we have seen a tremendous change in Indian IT industry and tremendous growth in Salaries and negotiations. Can someone explain me the factors that are triggering it even when the world markets are in huge correction phase and we are also seeing layoffs and revoked offers.

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

I'm looking for a permanent work from home job, can anyone suggest a few names where I can try. I'm a senior consultant in Risk Advisory service line performing sox and IA

Thinking of moving from B4 to Accenture or Slalom. I mostly do Epic stuff. Pros seem to be no audit/independence crap, less travel, more tech work. Any cons?

SIL and BIL told us excitedly last weekend that she was pregnant (had literally just found out, so barely four weeks). This week she tells us she’s not pregnant anymore :(. They did not seem super torn up about it and were very practical about it. We said how sorry we were, etc etc. should I do anything else? Should I not mention it again unless they do?

KPMG Recruiters are the most unprofessional of the Big Four.

Change my mind.

For those with immigrant parents, curious to know what your parents think of you working in this industry? Are they disappointed you didn’t pick a more ‘practical’ role (doctor, engineer)

If you talk to an independent recruiter, but then the hiring agency recruiter reaches out, do you let the independent recruiter know?

When an agency is about to hire you as a creative lead but without seeing your book to find out what you had done in your career, is that a red flag to you as a creative?

Moving to Chicago on Thursday! How do I like...make friends

I get really anxious and have a hard time reading emails where I know there will be really challenging feedback or comments from the client. Obliviously, something I am working on as I rise in the ranks. Anyone experience this and have tips on how to manage it?

What is the one firm or agency you'd like to work at?

I know this is petty. And I wish I was a better person. And that we all need to support each other right now. But seeing the recruiter who ghosted me begging for work on LinkedIn is karma.

Thinking of switching over to a non-creative role but not sure how my soul will react. Anyone here done it? What was the outcome?

Hey Chiat NY 👋🏼 Just here to say I still love the Unexpectedly Human campaign.

The annual Leo Burnett Cannes 'predictions' is a joke. It's obvious what will win based on past award shows. It's like me predicting that tomorrow will be a Friday.

After going through a round or two of interviewing with an agency, how can you let them know you're not interested without burning bridges?

For people going through layoffs right now. It's really hard. But pro tip: sit down and write your obituary assuming you live to be 100. Helps so much to really see this is nothing but a blip. ❤️
