I will NEVER trust a non-profit organization again. I was fired because I spoke up for myself and my staff. I spoke up against racism and homophobia. What hurts is that they made up an entire lie to terminate me and they used HR to push it to me, does anyone have integrity anymore? I am fine and will land back on my feet, but people be careful of Non-profits and their advertisement of COMMUNITY and UNITY.

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Is it a good time to switch to Deloitte considering all the recent layoffs ? Applying for a manager position in Deloitte Digital , not expecting more than 10% hike from my current salary.
Thank you

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

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

Hi Fishes

Please advice
I am currently working in TCS (11LPA 10 years Exp)

I have 2 offers in hand. TechM with 19LPA & DXC with 25 LPA (23L + 2L Variable)

DXC hired me for Indian client .My job profile on system admin. Work will be on Legacy Technology. Do I get chance to upgrade to cloud and shift to different Client

Most of the review on DXC is negative. How will be job security and work life balance. In most review I see "termination & layoffs." How is current situation in 2022
Thanks!

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

If you are laid off for hours, what is a neural reason for saying that your employment ended? Especially if there is a month or two break in finding employment.

What’s your backup plan if you are laid off as a result of the downturn?

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Droga layoffs 7% of staff in US. So much for the Accenture buyout.

All time best tactical plan briefing & creative kickoff? What blew minds? What fired the right brain neurons? Out-of-the box meeting structure? Acct briefing:brainstorm ratio? Who drank the KoolAid?

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Any working mothers in here who loves the company they’re working for? I am thinking about switching firms and need some honest thoughts on companies that doesn’t only say, but actually practice flexibility for work life balance and offers good $$$.

I am a high performer at my current firm but they started questioning working arrangements of folks based on the new members who are huge in-office folks, fast turnover within the team, etc. This wasn’t an issue when I first joined.

How does AirBnB promote acting ethically amongst its rentals? There are many rentals that skirt their local laws and fail to procure the proper licensing for putting their property in AirBnB. Does AirBnB have any proactive measures in place to ensure all local rental licensing laws are complied with? Is it ethical to be willfully bind of this issue?

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

“The copy needs more modern slang young millennials can relate to. It isn’t jiggy enough right now."

“We had complimenting genitalia.”

HR: I still didn’t get approval from finance on the freelance req. not answering email.
Me: FL’r already in the building. you sit in next office can you just talk to them?
HR: ok. I guess.

“I just want to see her cry” — People! Wtf!

“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

Heard from me:

“Oh, junior person, you have edits to the monthly activity report 3 days after your deadline to review the report, and after I sent it to the client? How lovely for you."

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

“business advice: open the attachment” -RHONY playing in background

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

What type of background check do HF/PE/VC forms so these days? Employment, education and felonies are a given (I think) but is fingerprinting and drug testing still in the mix? How about credit score?

Can anyone send me invites/codes to the EY and KPMG bowls?
