So my partner will be getting laid off 4/15. 🥺

Let the games begin, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Did LTI fired all bench people? Larsen & Toubro Infotech

I started a job hunt reluctantly b/c my company might be in buyout negotiations. I don't want to wait around for the layoffs.

I've received a new offer, but it's completely lateral. Damn near the same title, same benefits, same salary. I've made several attempts to negotiate salary or other benefits, but (supposedly) the hiring manager's hands are tied due to FY21 budget commitments.

Everything else about the job sounds great. Good culture, good boss, upward mobility, etc. Do I go for it?

I got laid off today 🥲 would really appreciate anyone who can help refer UX or product designer role 🙏
Please DM for resume
I will have my portfolio shareable sometime this week. 🙏

I concepted and sold a campaign. I was then laid off with promises of getting credit for the work. I didn’t. Any advice?

Is it ok to continue going for interviews even after accepting a job offer?

I accepted an offer for a role I wasn't really into but it was the best option I had after going through several interviews since I was laid off due to the pandemic.

Then, other more enticing job openings came along.

Would it look bad if I were to go for an interview & be like "I've been working at my current job for XX weeks but I'm interviewing for this role because it's much closer to what I really wanna do"?

Hi guys, I saw some reviews about Cisco, saying they have layoff every year? Is that true? I know tech industry is having hiring freeze here and there. Is that the same with Cisco?

Anyone else who recently started struggling to get hours? Team seems very busy, but no one gives me work even when I reach out. Not worried about being fired (not yet, anyway), but I’d really like to have more than 3-4 billable hours a day…

ATK folks - how bad are the layoffs all keep talking about?

Hi Guys, What’s your take on salary negotiation during this environment? I was laid off due to COVID in April. I just received a job offer with a much lower salary than I expected and my research indicates am being lowballed to the tune of at least $30k! I think the firm can do better because the practice area is thriving despite COVID! They’re in fact looking to hire more associates! Should I negotiate? I have been offered $115K in NYC\NJ! Am going into my third year of practice!

Is it a dumb idea to look for a job when so many other accountants were fired recently?

Does anyone know how layoffs happen behind closed curtains? Who gets axed and why? Is it true that age doesn’t play a role? What shitty stories to tell employees for cause of layoffs? I’ve gotten axed

Worked super hard in the US for 11 years, finally was about to get green card, I got laid off. What has my life become? I can’t feel more like a failure. If I can’t find a job that sponsors work visa for me in 3 months, the past decade would be the proof of my yet another horrible investment. Damn, universe, what are you trying to teach me?! Stop chasing unrealistic goal that’s outside of our control?

I am currently working at ZS and looking forward to switch to Novartis. The only problem is that Novartis is in Hyderabad and I reside in Delhi. Does Novartis provide permanent wfh? I read this somewhere over the internet. Just want to confirm it with the folks who are actually working here.

Thanks and Regards

Hi all! I need your advice. I have been this position about a year and just found out HR does not have a job description on file for me. My direct supervisor just created one but most of my current duties are not even listed, and my duties were from our entry level position. I refused to sign(they asked me to sign for it) but what should I do from here? I’ll have a meeting with HR next week and do not know where to start at this point and I am irritated, frustrated, and disappointed. Thanks,

One of my freelance clients wants me to come on board full time. I only work with them 10 hours a week, so I’d need to figure out what a full time salary would be. I know how to convert salary to freelance, but not sure what to ask for here. I currently charge $250 / hour but realize I’m not going to be paid $450k a year.

I’m ready to quit my job and do this. Taking all and any resources, advice, next steps you all may have. Thank you in advance.
