Why do you think product design/user experience is more impacted?

like

@bcg 1, possibly because clients may be less willing to pay for product enhancements and companies may be fine using the current UI for the next 6 months to a year.

Some marketing, hr and ops roles. Sales roles will prob be their own demise in the next quarter or two.

Administrative and support staff numbers plummeting across industries

I mean - easiest way to understand is imagine that you are in free fall with no projected revenue over next three months. Where would you make major cuts?

SG&A for sure- marketing, recruiting, things that are driven by variable business volume
Less so things like finance and accounting which have more of a fixed structure, although nonessential support roles here may go to.
I’d imagine sales staff will be the other major bucket you missed as companies reevaluate the short term channel strategies. Ie If you had a ton of field sales people on-site, may be rethinking that strategy and furloughing.

Does your firm find out why you failed a clearance ? Asking bc I got fired from my first job out of college a couple years ago and didn’t report it on it company background check.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
