I sure hope so, HR and internal ‘initiatives’ should be the first to go, they are useless

HR are the last to go. They need to do all the firms dirty work first.

Yes since they are overhead

Why wouldn’t internal roles get cut?

Of course

I was internal and got cut.

Who decides HR needs to get cut? Isn’t that a conflict of interest? It’s like cutting off the arm for the whole body to survive.

The first to get cut

Not sure if this is the right step but I’m a little desperate since I was laid off about a month ago and now finally landed a PM interview. As part of the process, i have to complete a take home assessment, which I have completed. Will it be possible for someone here to review my assessment and give feedbacks before I present it to the hiring manager so that I get all corners covered? It would be a HUGE help. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

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?

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

It is elementary that the development of a theory is based on completed and finished works or theories with a sufficient basis to be possible. But what were guys like Plato based on? He could only rely on what his mind told him. It must have been very difficult but at the same time, they were very brave in defending their ideas.

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
