If anyone deserves to have layoffs, it’s those folks in TSA - Bunch of lazy people standing around and whiling their time chatting.

I read to the kids a book that ended with a line like, "If it was a good story, start all over."I told the kids I really only did that once in my life regarding a book about a teacher going to teach in Africa. In reality it was about a missionary. I hid the name of it and what it really was about. In other instances I've also explained the meaning of life is to love sacrificialy without telling them the source. I feel guilty hiding the Truth. How do you speak the Truth without being fired?

UK specific query - If my company cannot find me clients/work and want to dismiss me because they are unable to find work for me at no fault of my own do they have to provide a severance package?
UK law says it’s easy to dismiss employees with less than 2 years service but it’s a big grey area. Anyone got any experience with this?

Staff sent out paper AR confirms and got them back. Manager saw them and asked why their wasn't fold marks. Turns out staff forged signatures cause he didn't send them. Partner came out and fired him!

Any companies looking for experienced hire Planning/Supply Chain professional with >10yoe in industry? An old coworker was laid off from a retailer, and was an excellent Planning Manager when I worked with her.

Was laid off at Deloitte Digital and looking to take this opportunity to transition into a strat/product role. I have 2 YOE and did a lot of work with Salesforce strategy / implementation.

Are any companies hiring associate-level positions? Would love to network and have a coffee chat!

Does anyone know if tech companies typically offer a severance package if laid off for sales roles?

I just started working a couple of months ago, should I start to panic because I might potentially get laid off? Our account seems to be very busy though.

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?

Hi,
I have been affected by the recent layoffs at Mindbody, due to which I am immediately looking out for a job change as a React Dev/.net dev.

Would appreciate any relevant referrals for the same.

Thanks🙏

Anyone around the Philly area want to be friends? Recently got laid off, and don’t have any friends around the area so yeah🙃

Just saw my engagement partner at the golf course. Sigh I’m probably getting fired now.

Industry-wide layoffs tomorrow or nah?

With so many layoffs and the strange uncertainty of this industry right now—is anyone scared to death?

How is everyone handling layoffs during this time? I assume everyone is starting with a temporary layoff and then severing?

Fam- recently got laid off and I reached out to my last client for a job and told him that I’m looking to leave D. He replied asking me asking me why are you leaving? How should I reply?

What’s the quickest way to get an industry job as a first year senior?

Leave or stay?
I'm a class of 2019 corporate/ecvc associate at a NY based EC/VC boutique. Just had my annual review: next year I'll be paid $175k/yr, with $10k bonus for hitting 1,600 hrs. 10% bonus on originated fees. Hours are definitely less than biglaw and the partners are nice to work with, but can't stop thinking about how I'd make almost double (albeit pretax) at a biglaw. Or should I just be happy that the tech downturn didn't bite my ass?

Deloitte folks, are you mapped specifically to healthcare or just to a “strategy and ops” type group?

Which consulting firm has the nicest offices in terms of locations and interior design in your opinion (in case you have seen multiple)?

Advice for those who find out they weren’t promoted : I wasn’t promoted last year. I was furious . Was considering resigning. My coach gave me the truth why I wasn’t promoted “I wasn’t ready”, but I had potential to get there. 1 year later, crushed it again this year, and found out I am getting promoted this cycle.

I look back and realize that they were right. I wasn’t ready. That promotion would have set me up to fail as a Manager 1. A career is a marathon not a sprint

Why do holidays count against utilization?

A client offered me a position doing my current job. What do you guys think ? Are we allowed (NDA and stuff) ? Any experience of switching over to clients ?
