I am to have an HR discussion round in HCL Technologies tomorrow, but there's a catch. I once absconded HCL Bserv (BPO). How come they still are having an HR discussion with me? Will I be fired in the future?

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

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 don’t think I’m qualified for a lot of jobs. I don’t know basic functions. How does one “fake it til you make it” in industry and not get fired?

Ah the great Ad Agency Bubble, your agency is doing great, growing exponentially then boom, clients are lost, there are layoffs and there are no raises/promotions for a year. What do you do jump ship?

Smart to look for a new job with a “recession” looming? Wanted to leave by end of the year, but nervous I’d be the first laid off at a new spot

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Hey guys! Yesterday the company i worked for laid off the people in our state for economic reasons with no notice. I’m in desperate need of referral in entry level SWE/SD(or similar) positions at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Who here has been laid off? How did you bounce back?

Did BCW NY just layoff it’s EA staff?! Seeing a bunch of these names on Connect and very upset that great people were let go!

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

All the layoffs happening are these on non tech side or tech side as well?

Are there anyone here that can help with finding a job in health admin or admin position not having any luck on indeed!? I’m a New York native, I just moved to Las Vegas and I worked for the state for 12 years in New York and I came here to take care of my mom and as a contract worker for state of Nevada education. I was fired for discrimination reasons and now I’m out of a job I have a bachelors degree and applied to 123 jobs on indeed to be denied because I’m over qualified. HELP ANYONE

Any word on consulting or agency layoffs in Berlin?

Has Deloitte gotten laid off yet?

Has anyone heard about layoffs happening in agencies these days?

I am constantly terrified I am going to be fired. This anxiety is taking a toll on others and I want to see if anyone else thinks this way. Trying to calm down

For those trying to leave, how do you sneak interviews in?

My bank makes you fill out a form if you want to work in the office for each individual day. It’s largely empty from what I hear. What are the risks if I were to go in and “borrow” an office chair for my new apt? How about a monitor?

Need referal in @UBS. I have multiple job IDs with me.

😭 tonight was supposed to be reservations at n/naka for my birthday 😭

Hows the work and work/life balance at full-service agencies vs a media agency. I'm a media planner coming from a full-service agency and I'm wondering if it will be a step backward going to a media focused agency.

I was hopeful and excited to have a better working experience while working with EY. But seems like tagline is building better working world in real it is building worse working world. Anyone here experiencing same ?

Any insight in Sidley’s global finance practice? Type of deals/clients and internal dynamics. Thanks!

Do any brand teams have a good agency briefing template and process you follow?
-Any tips on getting the best creative solution from your agency?
-Do you have any specific criteria you look for when selecting an agency?
-Do you prefer ‘one stop shop’ or specialists in their fields? If the latter do you do separate breifings?

Do partners know each other’s compensation? I see partners selling engagements for vastly different numbers b/w shorter ‘interesting’ strategy work and longer ‘boring’ transformations. Thoughts?

Anyone working on Digital Front Door strategy? I'm building this out for my practice right now. Would love to connect.

My brilliant team is being dissolved. My team is what made the work so enjoyable, not the job itself. I’m feeling pretty…stunned, I guess, and nervous about going through this again in the future.

PTSD It's not a joke, and I wouldn't wish it even on my worst enemy. Best resources / ways to handle this?

What is the worst reaction you’ve had after giving your notice? I just gave notice and I have never had a boss that tried as hard to make me change my mind as this one. Offered me basically anything I wanted.

What are exits for tech transfer? Have an opportunity, but idk if I want to work for university commercialization offices for the rest of my life

Has anyone ever worked with a recruiter/headhunter? Are there any pr/mar comms focused firms you'd recommend?

Hey folks,

I have my phone screening interview coming up soon for an L6 Senior applied scientist position for Tax classification team. I was wondering if any if you can provide any sort of help on how to prepare better for this interview. It's a pretty big deal for me, and I really want to Ace that interview.
