I referred two friends to PwC and both got an offer. (first got the Dir and Second Sr). I got laid off two weeks ago. Is there any way I can collect the referral money?

If nothing else, you did your friends a nice favor, and you generated some goodwill with your former employer.

A2, I like the way you are thinking!

Talk to a labor lawyer. I am sure that you could use the money if you are able to negotiate it. One factor will be the applicable policy, and whether that contemplates you being an employee when the individuals actually start, whether they have had to be at the firm for x number of months, etc. I am sorry that you were laid off.

How did that happen? You get laid off from too much bench or what?

Sorry OP, that kind of bites.

@M3 yes 2 weeks

Policy wise I believe you don't technically qualify for the referral bonus until your friends complete their probation period. Maybe it is different in the US practice though.

Maybe as mentioned your friends hire you back though.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
