I have friends and networks who have been affected by layoffs from Amazon and other orgs. There is light at the end of the tunnel all. But on the side something happened when I tried to use my amazon alexa.
Me: Alexa what does the future look like?Alexa: The future is not looking good for the economy right now with all the big layoffs, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Me: Alexa where can I find the end of that tunnel?
Alexa: I am also looking for it just if you find it.
Me: 🤔

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

How realistic is it to get a remote paralegal position with less than a year experience? I was just laid off from a small firm and loved the remote work environment…

I recently got laid off because of some strategic decisions by executives which led to operation cease in my whole business unit. I've 3+ years of experience in Automation testing. I've experience in selenium, rest assured, docker, dialogflow, Jenkins, and few more as well. Please help me find a job.

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

URGENT: Can anyone refer me for an entry-level software engineer/ Trainee Software engineer role (Java preferred)? I need a job on an urgent basis as my current organization has asked me to put down my papers due to changed business requirements (read layoffs) and has given me 30 days to find a new job. And I would really appreciate you guys if you can provide me with any help in this situation.

Thanks in advance

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

I was just laid off from a fintech startup after 4.5 months as their first ever IP attorney. Anyone have any leads on other IP roles. I’m soft IP/marketing focused but also have patent experience.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Hi all.

Unfortunately I've lost my job yesterday (laid off) and I'm looking for a new job.
I've 2.4YOE as a data scientist and I can join immediately.

Please DM me if you have any openings to share.

TIA.🙏

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Didn't have top grades, wasn't on law review. Worked at a midsize firm and was laid off in march-- have about 3 years experience in a hot practice area. Have been applying and had some interviews at larger shops but nothing has come of it. I'm still applying to roles (not many out there) in my area but coming to the realization based on number of larger firm rejection letter that I may not find a role. Where would you go from here if you were me? Was making good money at the midsize...

Curious is anybody seeing layoffs in consulting? How busy are your cyber practices?
