From past experience, 8 weeks they will start to ask you questions, longer (12 weeks) you get out in a plan and then out pretty quickly after that

Also depends on your level

Usually around 3-4 weeks but I've heard of people staying on the bench for 6 months. Average time on bench before layoff is probably 2-3 months. You usually get a warning email before the real countdown begins. The warning letter comes from your hr partner and s pretty standard like "you've been on the bench for xx days and it's time to find a project". That's when you need to start getting worked. Generally people get laid off 2-8 weeks after getting that warning.

Okay, so I have pretty bad cystic acne, clogged pores and enlarged pores. I’ve been using curology and a mild dermatologist recommended soap. I have seen some improvement, however I was curious if anyone was struggling with it and has tried the “Flo Vitamin gummy’s “ on top of my fertility struggle this really has kinda killed my confidence. I know it’s not specifically fertility related but Was hoping to get some feedback on similar situations
