No. Not possible.

Possible. Saw my friend escorted out.

I am a senior and if they let me 2 out of my 3 staff would be out tomorrow. The big question is that if they let me lol. You be fine as a staff if you are trying and doing a decent job. The real struggle starts when you become manager.

Yup

Yes and at all levels even partner as noted previously by someone else.

Yes you can. One of my staff got fired last yr. he was working with our team in the office when he was ask to talk to the people partner, when he came back, he told us he was fired, everyone was stunned.

Anything is possible anytime and to anybody.

When the politics come to you and your team is silent, anything is possible.

Fired or laid off? I think the firms try their best not to burn bridges with anyone so they play nice when letting people go. After all, even a scum bag can be the owner of a company and will need professional services in the future.

what is the minimum time period to be in an organisation to get promoted from a senior Associate to a team lead in kgs capability hubs ? is it 18 months or 2 years or even less?

The company I work for (as a 1099 contractor) failed to have me complete a W-9. Therefore, they do not have my tax id number, but have already wire transferred me 10 months worth of pay (in exchange for 10 months worth of work).


Now, layoffs are happening. Just curious...what would happen if I never give them a W-9 or my tax ID number...

I’ll drink a ton of coffee, way more than normal, and still feel exhausted. Then off and on I’ve been having stomach issues. Have any of you had this happen?
