I debated for a long time whether to put the green "Open to Work" banner on my profile after my layoff. Some career coaches say it reeks of desperation; others say it’s the only way to beat the algorithm. I eventually added it because pride doesn't pay the bills. But it does feel like wearing a scarlet letter. Do you think the green banner helps you get found, or does it signal "distressed asset" to hiring managers?

Nah doesn’t make you look desperate. Just try it out if it affects you in anyway negative psychology than take it off. Just keep applying you will get something!

I am a sixth-year associate overseeing a second year. They are an exceptionally good associate. I am honestly shocked at the work product I receive and the way they go above and beyond. The issue I have is that they sometimes take awhile to turn things around. For example, I ask for a draft response to the client, and they take three-four days. I know they’re busy, but I would like to address this in a positive way. Any suggestions?

Hi guys 👋🏻
So I joined IBM 5 months back, was on bench for this long and got project just a week back.

My PSP and People Manager have been kind of lenient, cooperative and kind to me because I was never told I will be put in PIP, I have to enter project not matching my skillset etc etc.

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.
