Depend on the severance package.

Before this pandemic thing, I was wishing for a lay-off. But after all this, I need a nice severance package to survive.

It's a naw from me, dawg. I like both my paycheck and health insurance.

ETA: Actually, I'll be OK for a few months without a paycheck (not that I want to test this statement). But I must have insurance. My kid has health issues.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

I worked as a technical PM for a medium-sized adtech company in NYC in charge of 2 technical teams, and the business intelligence team.

On Thursday I was informed by the lead PO and HR that leadership had decided that the project management office was no longer necessary for the company and all three of us, the director and the two technical PMs, were being let go. None of us were given any notice.

They offered me 2 weeks of severance pay and I negotiated it to 3.

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.

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.

I’ve had a really hard time securing a permanent gig in the last 5 years…constantly being laid off or had a contract cut short. How do you know when to take a hint and realize that maybe this industry isn’t for you? I need some stability for once.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

I’m the person who tells people it’s okay to open up at work about mental health issues, and that it’s okay to talk about it.
