How do you reduce your risk of being laid off? And while we're on the topic, who has the highest/lowest chance of being laid off?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

Who was laid off today

Can any ACN fish refer? Firm issued a wave of new hire layoffs which happened to affect me.

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

Big layoffs at Booz Allen Dubai and Abu Dhabi Cyber teams.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Is anyone hearing chatter in banks/FIs about recessionary job cuts or hiring freezes yet?

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Will there be any layoffs in GDS?

Hi all, i was fired today because i said the truth!! Isn’t that interesting?

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

Anyone else using their layoff as an excuse to finally pursue a new career?

I have two roommates, one of whom got furloughed and one of whom got permanently laid off. I know money is tight for them already. As soon as they told me about their work situations, I told them...

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

Bangalore AC folks. I have accepted the offer from PWC with the condition of "Permanent WFH" but today I got to know from my batch mate that they are calling him back to office. Is it true they ll start hybrid model like other companies in coming months?

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

Anyone have insight on how to move in-house at EY?

The most interesting research topic you've come across....?

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

Could anyone from Bain’s London office provide any insight into how much travel was typically involved (Pre-COVID)?
Also, how do you see the split of WFH/office/client site be going forward?

Gents- I've been wearing Tommy John undershirts for awhile and love the fit and comfort, but they are pretty pricey. Wondering if anyone has a better recommendation at a lower price?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but thoughts on IBM right now? Got a call today from a recruiter for SAP OCM position (managing consultant ). Said they’re hiring a bunch but then I see layoffs. Huh?
