How long do firms typically let people stay on payroll after notifying them of being laid off?

We have a big project going on and I am the only point person(initiate it, did lot of work, and knows the deets well), seems like my mgr wants to get a headcount. But I want to use this opportunity to get promoted, how can I get this across? Mgr is new(they fired my old mgr), mgr’s mgr is new too(re-org). So not sure if I should/can make a case, or how.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

I always feel like I’m one mistake away from getting fired 😵

Hey everyone, I was recently laid off from Meta. I am a senior technical recruiter, who also served 20 years in the military. I am looking for new positions working in San Diego or remotely. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

Hi all,

Seeing some posts on layoffs in barclays. Is it true and which category of Employees will fall in that list.

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?

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.

Just got laid off but am holding onto God’s promise. Instead of wallowing and being bitter, I know I can trust Him to be faithful! God always has a plan and is always right on time. ✨

Fishes need ur help...my friend s been laid off without notice...any quality analyst jobs please let me know....would be really grateful 2 u all...

What are you hearing about Accenture and PIP? Lay offs?

How much are other Mortgage Loan Processors making right now? I know times are tough and layoffs are abundunt. I gotta know where I stand before venturing out. Im currently making about $5,000/mo doing about 10 files.

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Hello and welcome! I’ll start - if you were recently laid off in fintech, my fintech (in Chicago and some in SLC) is hiring! Lots and lots of jobs. Please reach out!

Folks who managed to switch jobs in this economy, how did you get the job? Did a recruiter reach out to you ? Or did you go on sending out applications?

My son lost his summer job. So I gave him the honey do list @ $15/hr. It’s a long list...

I received a call for Engagement Manager position with AWS. Even though I have the JD for the same, it appears kind of cluttered, with lots of Agile flavour thrown in, hence reaching out to the audience to understand what exactly this role entails?
Is it a sales oriented role, is P & L an integral part of being an Engagement Manager with AWS?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.

I’ve heard a ton about business salaries in the other bowls. Interested in where everyone is with engineering backgrounds. Degree, YOE, Industry, Salary

Anybody know if there’s a Toronto Lawyers bowl?

MBA vs MBB

Non-target school background, currently Deloitte Strategy. Will I learn more going to McKinsey, Bain, BCG? Or in an MBA from a top school.

Will keep this specialism agnostic. If MBB, it would be as a generalist.

What is the cut off for a weird time to email your team an update? Better now or in the morning?

MBB folks: out of the big4, is there anyone in particular you have historically hired more from compared to the remaining 3?

Fellow fasting fish, how do you maintain energy when we can’t have coffee or water? I’ve been cracking windows, showering first thing, and using certain essential oils 😅 trying not to yawn on these morning video calls!

How challenging is strategy and planning (industry) roles? Trying to pivot but lack the actual experience. I understand it's framework and analysis driven. Been more focused on risk management, operations, program management etc. Curious to hear thoughts

A senior person in my org who I don't know, mailed me with "Hi <my last name>" asking for some help. I replied back with "Hi <requester's last name>, how can I help?
Never heard back from this person.

My RL didn’t have a formal mid year pre CRT review with me. He just pinged me and said: I’ll represent you. Utilization = 75% and average snapshots. Am I at risk?

The daily internal struggle of trying to decide if the project is legitimately poorly designed and managed, or if I'm just a dummy for not "getting it." 🤔

if you lateral over as an experienced hire (2nd year associate or 1st year senior) to another consulting firm, how do interviews work? Should I expect case interviews?

Do you mention offers/where you are in the interview process with other companies when talking to an HR recruiter?

What are all of the single ladies doing?

Anyone feel general anxiety that you won’t be successful? Seems like most people climb the ladder or reach career success in some way or another but it’s pretty intimidating just starting out

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Hired as SA1. if my utilization is low for round table but I’ve gotten good Snapshots will I go up to SA2 or SA1B, which I don’t want of course.

Currently staying in Hoboken NJ. My rent isn’t high but the apartment is old and don’t really have a lot of friends. With COVID and most of our future being WFH. Am considering moving to a low COL area.
Any suggestions , with a lot of 25-30 year olds around.
Hopefully, I can find a good apartment, don’t mind renting something with a backyard.
Would definitely like a place with better weather. Pretty much open to anywhere in the US.

After some time in consulting I have realized that this isn’t that career for me. What would be some advice you would give a young person looking to explore other careers/industries? (Don’t want to quit a good consulting job bc I don’t like it)
