I was just let go from a huge round of layoffs. I have considered myself to be a high performer and was told it all came down to years of experience. I really loved this company and my heart is broken and confidence is shattered. Any advice or suggestions?

Give yourself time to be sad about it. You loved your job, and that's a big life change under any circumstances let alone layoffs. When you're ready, try pinpointing what you loved about it and searching for other places that value those things too.

It's so tough, but remind yourself that you were part of a "huge round of layoffs" so it's nothing personal. Can you afford to take a little time off before jumping into something else? If so, then I'd recommend doing so. It'll be a nice break and a chance to clear your head and get your confidence back before you start applying. If not, then just take a deep breath and move forward. You'll find something else soon enough.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

So what’s the protocol on being harassed by a former employee - one that reported to you but that the company on the whole fired. For harassment, no less. This guy just can’t let it go after YEARS.
