I haven't seen an AdAge or AdWeek news story about the work in over 6 months (sans Superbowl). All industry news is aquesitions or layoffs... Just me?

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.

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?

Is there a possibility of layoffs in Barclays India?

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.

Can you pls share your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

I got laid off today 🥲 would appreciate anyone who can help refer UX or product designer roles. 🙏

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

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

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.

Recently laid off and looking for recruiters that specialize in media/strategy/advertising (both agency and client side). Sure there are others looking as well - would greatly appreciate any info.

Just got laid from my job today due to restructuring... have worked on Coty inc, BMW USA and Clifbar. Any leads or advice is much appreciated...

Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Is current layoffs only happening in Amazon US offices or Amazon India offices as well ?

Hi AWS fishes. How bad are layoffs at Amazon? Hearing news of more than 10000 people getting laid off. Are they happening within AWS as well? I am about to join AWS in few weeks and getting bit worried considering the situation. Thanks.

I keep a few tote bags and plastic grocery bags in a drawer at me desk in case I ever abruptly quit on the spot or get fired. Anyone else?

I’m a first year that’s inching toward second year. Partners in my group say “sometimes getting thrown into the deep end is the best way to learn.” However, I feel so lost. I feel like saying the above is just an excuse for not wanting to take the time to actually teach new associates.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

Still pretty early in the app process here. What extra curricular activities are best to up your chances for M7 admission?

When do GSB calls usually come?

Did anyone get a GSB interview this week?

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Raise your hand if you feel like you actually DON’T get steam rolled by your CD or higher up during a pitch?
