When I left defense for consulting, my boss told me I wouldn’t last a year. That was 15 years ago.

Last in first out layoff from Covid. Despite being a upper percentile performer.

12 week severance gave me a free summer for the first time since High School. Found a job with more growth, negotiated a 35% pay raise and probably work 20 hrs less p/week. Didn’t hurt when we won a deal against them either this month.

Don’t care to say. I will add that they initially offered 8. I spoke to a lawyer to understand my options. Came back with 12 and they accepted.

Lucky? Definitely. Smart? Maybe not, but it worked.

Slightly off topic, but Penny's career story is a quite inspiring story of perseverance, even for non-swimmers.

Serious, I’m curious. I’ve been googling around but from everything I see, she had a fairly normal life outside of her swimming success and comes from a family of athletes. I haven’t uncovered any real story of adversity.

If her whole “story” is that one adult in her life thought she should focus her energy outside of swimming, that’s not really adversity. And it is a petty tweet. Sounds like her teacher had her best interest at heart, even if they were dead wrong.

Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.

Can you pls share your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

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?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
