Mid size Atlanta firm here. I had graciously given my firm plenty of advance notice that I was moving to Seattle this summer (irony/no good deed goes unpunished) since I knew a lot of attorneys would be out on maternity leave when I was planning to move. I was called yesterday and pressured to move up my end date and shift to a contract attorney role (aka no health insurance coverage). Feel pretty taken advantage off / pushed out on freaking day one of this crises.

Good judgment. Best of luck to you. And don’t let the terrible behavior of one sleezeball change your approach to the world. Always take the high road.

This thing is just getting started. If a big firm has already performed layoffs, those were already in the works, or the firm was already in deep trouble.

Would you submit a resignation letter(RL) if the employer is requesting one? I used to work in Sales with a Fortune 500 company for 8 years before leaving and starting a new role in IT with a small biz(medical practice). Was fortunate to have the opportunity to 180 my field, but the practice manager is an impulsive leader, which leads to a lot of disorganization. I am remote and they need someone FT. When we spoke about it they gently fired me because I couldn’t go FT, and now want a RL.

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.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

I got an offer for a 3-mo contingent role at Meta as a CSM that pays more than double what I make now.

The pay rate makes it hard (if not impossible) to say no - but I'm apprehensive about accepting a contract offer, especially one that's only 3-months  ending on Jan 2.

Obviously, I'm already thinking about what I'd do next. I'd love to stay in tech. Just curious if anyone has experience with a short-term contract & what the job-search process looks like during/after the contract expires.
