I was made redundant today at a consulting firm and they have given me 90 days to look for internal roles and the local team is supporting me to find a role,

Was anybody in this situation?
Is it ok be in the same firm after being redundant?.
Didn't look at the severance yet

Please advise

I would have loved that opportunity instead of just being laid off. Of course the whole situation sucks, but it is great you have the chance for an internal movement. I would look into that AND the job market.

I feel like you will never get over the fact the form didn't want you and that fear will constantly lurk

Are you British? No one uses the term redundant in Canada. People won’t know what you’re talking about.

Pretty sure I know the firm lol

Yes it is okay to move across the firm to a different role and team. Why wouldn't it be

But I'd probably not bank on there being enough openings for that. Would look far and wide outside as a first option

It is ok to move internally. A few years ago I knew a very good sm who just didn't have a path to grow further in client facing roles so he was moved internally as they preferred keeping him vs losing him. He also had the maturity to understand the situation he was in. Good luck with your decision

Sorry this happened! There’s no shame in taking what you can get in this market though.

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

Shower thought:
