Has anyone been fired and then subsequently received unemployment? I was let go this week and am wondering if that is realistic to expect. Thanks!

Yes. Regardless, you should always file for unemployment. Let the unemployment compensation office and your ex-company sort it out. You never get anything you don’t ask for.

You should file, just be prepared to fight

Even if you were “fired” you can approach your ex-company about a severance pay-out. I did that once and it worked.

Hi all
I have received an offer from Wissen for the client Morgan Stanley at Mumbai.. I was recently laid off from Publicis Sapient.... There is news that Morgan Stanley is planning to lay off people in the coming weeks. Is it good to consider this offer? Are there any layoffs going at wissen?

Does vmware layoff employee very often ? I heard that every year they layoff twice or thrice.

I was very successful as an internaional sales exec at a startup for 15 years before we were bought by a large publicly traded company. The culture shift was dramatic, as was the way that I was expected to work. I was laid off a tortuous 3 years after the buyout.

While I was in some ways relieved (put me out of my misery!) I spiralled pretty hard and after a while started working PT jobs, gig type stuff, etc. while I figured things out, and healed from burnout.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.
