I am pretty certain I'll be laid off in the next 2 months, and am about to start a new project, with a very high-profile client and incredibly demanding work pretty much round the clock.
Do I just "go with the flow" until I get my pink slip?
I don't want to be killing myself knowing I am on my way out, but I can't exactly share this with the client either.
Any recommendations on how to proceed?

Hi fishes, in last 2 months I got at least 10 rejections and 0 offers.
I am looking for a new job. I am working for a Google Cloud project in HCL Technologies. I am currently handling order management and deal strategy for CPQ deals, SaaS deals. I also have experience in using SAP, Oracle EBS Prod tools along with billing and collections. Also working with product teams of Google Cloud to create process and order forms/contracts for billing of products.
Help me with an opportunity please 🙏🏽

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

At EY is I was reimbursed for a stationary bike 2 years ago. Would EY reimburse me for a road bike this coming year? There's a stipulation that says every 5 years but I'm not sure if that means for another stationary bike or if I can get a road bike and be reimbursed.
