I spend every day wondering when I am going to get laid off/fired for some sad, stupid mistake that anyone else would get away with. It’s so damn exhausting. It no wonder I cannot get ahead.

Always have the reel/cv updated. If you’re invited to a meeting and the HR person happens to attend, don’t sign anything there. Production is about anticipation and preparation. Same for your career

This is actually one of the reasons I love freelancing, I mean this seriously. To me the fear of not getting booked is actually easier to handle than the fear of not billing enough / getting let go. I can be a super anxious person and it actually helps me a lot that I have no one to ‘answer’ to if that makes sense. Freelancing, if someone doesn’t like me they don’t book me again. And if I have a bad experience I don’t work there again. And I stay really busy!

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?
