I have been noticing a lot of layoff posts recently both on LinkedIn and Fishbowl App and as someone who has been through this phase, would like to share some thoughts on the same:
1. Stay positive!
2. Stop Blaming Yourself
3. Leverage your network for referrals
4. Keep upskilling
5. Know your worth - Do not settle for anything less and at the same time, do not make exorbitant demands
6. Keep taking time outs - Do not forget to watch a TV series or go out.
All the best everyone! Accenture

Tomorrow is my first day at my new job after being layoff... I enjoyed seen this post with stats so here is mine:)

2 months (pluss 2 weeks after accepting a offer, just waiting for paperwork etc)

273 application

10-20 recruiting condos (some pass on me, some I passed on because they were not fully remote, salary or long hiring process)

3 companies I when thrue the whole interviewing process

From the 3, 1 company just declined no feedback the other 2 send offer letters

170k base, tech.

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.

Does any team is facing layoffs problem in American Express. Really a horrible rumors I heard.

Has anyone been fired and then subsequently received unemployment? I was let go this week and am wondering if that is realistic to expect. Thanks!

Laid off with 1 YOE. Do I include college Awards / Extracurriculars (have just one line to list each right now) ? How about SAT scores?

Got fired on Tuesday without any reason or justification.
Need referrals.Looking for IT project manager/ Scrum Master and Business Analyst roles in Canada.

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"?

Is it okay if I get fired from D after my H1B transfer for the new employer gets approved ?

Does anyone predict another layoff season in October?

Making a huge mistake at work today and I haven't been with the firm for a year yet. I feel extremly horrible. How do I rebound from this? Crossing fingers I am not getting fire/layoff

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

Was there any affect on your project due to Melbourne shutdown..........I see another potential lay-offs wave coming for Deloitte😬

A $1T valuation is fine, but Tim Cook should be fired for the value loss that came from actually producing products, being famously boring and not losing his mind on social media.

When do I begin adjusting? It’s been 4 months. I joined as an associate and I feel like sometimes my work is sloppy or I’m overwhelmed. I’ve gotten feedback that I’m making progress but that sounds fake. I’ve also gotten feedback that my work is sometimes sloppy. The last report I helped write had a ton of write ups on it. Feels like I’m about to get fired.

How has P&T been affected by recessions in the past ? Are internal app teams more safe ? Also how is the severance package calculated.

What do you think about Vice President who forgets what’s discussed in the last meeting and have to start the business story from the scratch again? Attending a meeting unprepared every time. I don’t know where he uses his brain for. So uninspiring.

Thoughts on a VP, HR Generalist Lead, range of $100-110k? Payscale shows higher. Does Citi have pay transparency practices? Negotiation thoughts/tips?

How does Accenture onboarding happens?
Mine doj is tomorrow. Yet I have no access to Countdown link. After escalation regarding that issue last week they told me to wait.

Anyone interviewed for DoorDash strategy/ops senior associate positions? What’s their salary band? Asked about it and the hiring team person who reached out to me refused to share info, saying that a recruiter will share this info later in the process. LOL.
