I got fired last year and still haven't found a job and I need money for rent and bills.

Is anyone hearing chatter in banks/FIs about recessionary job cuts or hiring freezes yet?

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

Looking for advice. Submitted Reasonable Accommodations to HR three months ago, and instead of accepting/negotiating, my company fired me. Aren’t they required to engage in an interactive process with me?

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

Meta/FB laid off 11000 employees. Linkedin is full of these posts. Very sad & shocking to see this! Tough times ahead.

It's refreshing to see RBC's committment to no 2020 layoffs. Anyone know if any other banks are following suit?

Does anyone have any insight into the Layoffs from a SCNO perspective? (Numbers, duration, etc.)

Which agencies in San Francisco are weathering the storm the best? I haven’t seen much about layoffs or furloughs. It seems like the bigger agencies in NY have been hit harder.

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.

Like at this point just fire me idk what kool aid some of you are drinking

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

How much severance should you expect after getting booted after 1 year. I got 3 months salary

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

Laid off after Thanksgiving. 54. Not done yet. Plenty to offer. In Detroit but ready and able to move anywhere. AD/CD. Hangin in there. How bout you?

Hi! Anyone successfully use Zoom or Teams to record interviews that will get spliced with other footage? Any best practices or pitfalls to avoid?

Anyone else finding it really hard to care about super bowl commercials this year? They feel like a relic from another time to me.

I work as a worker’s compensation adjuster and I cannot seem to get the hand of loss of time. Been in the same role for a year. Any piece of advise? I have made several improvements but it feels like I’m dragging it out. Last question is how do you manage claims that you have not handle for months and you’re too scared to do anything.

Hey hey all
Any tips on how to eat desi and healthy. Want to drop from 70 to 60 and get back my fighting bod before my non-existent dil mil dates come into existence.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

If I'm an SM up for promo, does Deloitte re-adjust me to an EB-1? I can't imagine PMDs dealing with this visa extension hassle every 3 years.

Missing nights from the Marriott-SPG just reappeared in my account! Anyone else ?

In non pandemic times - how bad is the commute to airport from Greenlake, Ballard during rush hours?
Also - West Seattle to downtown when the bridge is back?
Exploring neighborhoods to rent and was looking for some post pandemic possibilities.
Thanks

Have been at my agency for about 2.5 years and have only been able to get one raise because of Covid and raise freezes… what percentage increase is a good benchmark to ask for, knowing they likely won’t meet my initial ask (because, advertising 😏)

Today my boss told me I need to work on showing my frustration directly to people. She mentioned a meeting THREE weeks ago where, during a meeting, I said one single thing that showed I was unhappy with not being included in a particular meeting (for a project I was leading), and my tone made it clear I was unhappy about it. She said the person I “called out” didn’t even bring it up to her; it was what she “noticed.” Cont’d...

A little humor sprinkled in a resume. Yay? Nay?

Anyone willing to share their companies project management career path? They seem to vary and I’m curious what titles are out there.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on leaving a stable but unfulfilling job for another one during these times?

Audi ad is MVP so far

Most beautiful places to escape within three hours' driving of NYC? Forests, lakes, ocean, camping.

Client removes all copy in ads re: product description or product benefits due to pending legal review. Removes visuals of product doing its job. Blames agency that ads aren’t driving traffic/sales

Any agencies that have a good reputation, but suck when you actually work there? Wonder why that happens?

Adoptable dogs on beer cans: copy or coincidence?

Motorworks Brewing in Florida did this years ago, and now Uncommon just did the exact same thing for Brewdog beer.

Straight up plagiarism imo. Literally search "adoptable dog on beer can" and the Motorworks stuff comes up, so not googling the idea beforehand is not an excuse.

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊

Network announced they’re raising client rates to reflect inflation…. With no word on raising salaries for the same reason 🤑⚰️

Serious question - which one lasts longer: real Donald Trump or Marcel?

Any notable examples of agencies taking a chance on relatively young talent propelling them into exec-level or C-suite roles and it working out?

*Genuinely curious, so no need to call out those who have been unqualified, etc :)
