I am an accountant (no CPA) with 10 yrs experience in large corporations. I was laid off from my last job and spent almost a year searching for a new job before I had to stop to take care of a personal matter. During this time, I have worked a part-time retail job. However, now I am ready to go back to a full-time job in my profession. But, I have a 2.5 year employment gap. How do I address this? How do I get the attention of recruiters? I am open to entry level roles if that's what it takes.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

One issue with the work from home revolution will be the offshoring of jobs. I got laid off and my replacement will be from Mexico City. One time zone away and probably half my salary. It is what it is.

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

Deloitte FL/PR is turning into a joke.. if firm morale wasn't already suffering from layoffs, they increase minimum hours through December while half the offices are unassigned. Abandon ship.

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

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.

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?

Sign-on Bonuses, is it typical for a company to ask for a re-payment agreement? i.e. 100% if leave/fired within 12 months, 50% if leave/fired within 24 months?

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

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.
