I guess the thing with a mass layoff is you’re not too embarrassed to tell the world about it. And because it’s a huge company? That everyone mainstream would know what it is? Over and over again. It’s the new 40 under 40. We’re reading day 2 now, for those who are taking a 6 month’s sabbatical are we going to be bombarded by that journal for its entirety? Please do it in the metaverse you were working on.

Anybody who got laid off in the current wave and looking for a referral in Zalando in Germany, feel free to DM me. Happy to help.

MBB AP about to exit to non-FAANG tech. Would you expect a signing bonus and/or pre-determined severance pay if things don't work out with the new company? Anything else that people have negotiated during their exit? I'd be leaving a large amount of bonus on the table to leave before the end of the year.

Just got fired.. any opportunities out there in North America.

Strategy consultant, manager level ; experience in consumer markets: I heard technology sector is hiring. Open to relocation

Thoughts on Veteran status and the ongoing corporate layoffs?

To everyone that’s been laid off I just want y’all to know that I’m with you. That is why I’m doing the bare minimum until it’s my time to go.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

Hello all, I have received an offer from tiger Analytics for Data Scientist role. Kindly suggest if I should join the company in the recent events of layoffs and recession?

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…

Can you still succeed in your career after getting laid off?

I was laid off from Deloitte in the 18th. I have an interview with Amazon for a Senior Program Managers Non Technical position with Amazon hiring manager on Monday. Any advice would be much appreciated. I would love to get into Amazon. I hear their interview process is brutal.

If you are laid off for hours, what is a neural reason for saying that your employment ended? Especially if there is a month or two break in finding employment.

Anyone have any thoughts on a fair salary for a part time virtual tax prep-focused position? I’ve been made an offer for south of 800 hours/year (fluctuating for seasonal ebb and flow, of course), and I’m curious whether it’s a decent offer or not. I have 13 years of experience in a big box franchise where I’ve handled complex returns from day 1. 30% of my workload has been 1120/1120S/1065 and the rest higher-level 1040s and a few 1041s & 990s. I’ll be bringing 75-100 clients with me.

Dialysis nurse (chronic) here for 12 years. Trying to apply to a different company to get a raise. Living in Sarasota, fl. What should be a reasonable pay?

Anyone volunteering with the upcoming CFE exam this week?

Visa consulting and analytics. Thoughts? Worse than consulting firms or better?

Shower thought:
Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?

Also isn’t it a waste of money for businesses to replace perfectly functional exit signs when renovating?

Can anyone at Monitor clarify what overtime pay looks like? How often do Cs actually qualify? Recruiter gave a pretty cookie cutter answer. Would appreciate some insight. Thanks

Longest you ever waited for an offer letter? I’ve met with a total of 5 people including the partner in charge and accepted the verbal. It’s been a little over two weeks since hearing back. They touched base with me a couple times saying it needs approval but starting to lose hope.

If you could, how would you change things to prevent yourself from becoming unemployed?

What do you wish you had known before becoming a manager?

Are there any law firms out there with better comp than Big 4 tax and won’t work you more than 50 hours a week?

"She's like 30, but doesn't look super old"

No nothing about this topic or am involved...but recently saw a CNN Journalist call a Foreign Minister “anti Semitic” when he said “Israel has deep pockets” and “controlling the media”

Can anyone explain why this is anti Semitic? It was targeted at Israel (not Jewish people, although they comprise much of Israel) but seemed to me to be a critique. Did not sound anti-Semitic to me.

Do we need to complete joining formalities to accept EPAM anywhere offer?

Ideas for a night in alone? Feeling Chinese take out to start it right

Any tips for how to make internal networking feel more natural? I know face time without a specific client need is important, but I can't find a way to make it feel authentic.

How does getting into Comm Arts rank with pencils, lions, etc?

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

Name some annoying habits of the co-workers that you sit next to (Typing too hard, talks too much, pen tapping, leg shaking, etc). How do you mention that it's driving you insane without being rude?

Anyone ever worked for in house agencies for media? A financial services one in particular. Wondering what the pros and cons are for working at in house agencies vs ad agencies.

Chevy work is unwatchable. And the money they spend on production for this work is unconscionable.

How much money (revenue) does your agency earn from the account you work on?

I had a panic attack in a meeting today. I had no idea what to do and I feel like the others could tell something was wrong but it kept going. If you've had this, what do you do?

Any recommendations for websites that will fax a word doc for free, without making me sign up for a membership?

I’m so tired of hearings “we want to keep the meeting small”. That’s fine if you don’t want to include me but when you promise the client something that you didn’t clear by production..

Strategists / planners: if your boss asked you to put together a wishlist of resources that would make your job easier / better, what would be on that list?

Can anyone share any examples of outstanding direct to consumer healthcare ads?

Creatives shouldn’t be sharing their screens…I will die on this hill.

If consumers prefer diversity in ads, wouldn't it make sense to have a more diverse industry? Why does agencies lack diversity?

What are some websites you use to find commercial directors? Hoping there’s a more searchable one out there instead of bouncing around from one production company site to the next

How many pieces does a portfolio need to be taken seriously? I’d love to start applying asap, but I don’t want to put my book out there again before it’s ready.

Does it actually mean anything if you dont receive a response to your post-interview thank you email?
