Hi, I am a ex consultant that was unfortunately impacted by the Microsoft layoffs yesterday. I went to industry since I can’t travel anymore due to personal reasons. Going back to consulting may be my best option. Are there any consulting firms currently not traveling? Any specifics on the group would be much appreciated.

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

Taking my first flight after a year!! I used to go through the international terminal for faster lines. Is that still the best way or just easier to go to the south terminal ??

Will firm say anything if I travel and but am still working? Probably intentionally. Probably a week or two. Figure the VPN will tell them

I got laid off and not sure if I should find a place cheaper to live by myself and pay rent with UI for couple of months while studying or go back home where family is and contribute much less than I will be spending living alone to parents for rent. I will be saving a lot. Problem is younger sister who is mentally draining and steals my things, makes nasty comments towards me lives there and her bedroom will be right next to mine. She once got me arrested for no reason. What should I do?

Anyone flown Copa Airlines Economy? Considering booking some personal travel on it using miles and wanted to see if it’s any good

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Anyone with systemwide upgrades to sell on American Airlines ?

Anyone have good book recommendations that I can learn from and are entertaining? Trying to survive a 10 hour flight this weekend 🆘🆘🆘
