Had to fire some for dropping an N bomb in a team meeting. It was my pleasure to walk them out the door. A friend had to fire someone for jerking off in their cube.

I know people who have been fired and people who have been put on probation then fired.

You'll know if you've been laid off if you can still collect unemployment.

It's simple. Laid off = they can't afford to keep you. Fired = they can't afford to keep you because you'll fuck up again.

@SD1, at wth circus of an agency do you work?!

How do you know if you're getting fired vs "let go"?

like

I've been laid off. Happened randomly on a Friday evening (got the 1:1 meeting invite with my managing director that morning and figured it was just a check in but that's what it was). I'm only a year into my career too.

like

@AA1 fired = you've done something unsatisfactory or wrong.
"Let go" = they let you know you haven't broken any policy or expectation but you're the weakest link and they'll give you a severance package and ref letters. I've been let go from the best 💅.

I have fired people and laid them off. I've been laid off and fired. The difference is usually found in an accompanying reference letter or not

like

Fired for cause (meaning you fucked up royally) you won't get good references or any kind of severance, usually.

like

@AAD1 it seems @SD1 said it plainly, one gets reference letters.

like

Let go is fired.

@ContentS1 wouldn't doing something unsatisfactory be the same as weakest link? Just trying to understand 🙆🏼

Laid off after we resigned my account due to legal issues. They had me work new biz for awhile but when nothing came in three of us were laid off. A year later the whole office was shuttered.

I fired someone just today!

I know many people who have been fired. Not me, but I've been laid off once.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Has anyone here used the "Read Scripture" app? It goes through the entire Bible and includes accompanying summary videos from "The Bible Project" (whose videos can also be found on YouTube). I love how it groups portions of Scripture and the videos are helpful for making meaningful connections with the text. I love these for myself, but they're super kid-friendly, too. Excellent support for your daily study. Enjoy!
