If the firm ever read my Sametime messages I would be fired so quickly

Hey guys! Yesterday the company i worked for laid off the people in our state for economic reasons with no notice. I’m in desperate need of referral in entry level SWE/SD(or similar) positions at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Have you been laid-off, furloughed, or fired yet? And how were you told this? Do you know anyone, personally, who was laid off?

So what’s happening in the local shops? Layoffs? Hiring freezes?

Hi Team,

Few days back I had a post stating that I would be joining one of the consultancy by end of this month, my question was will my joining date be impacted due to the current tech layoff. Is there a way that the new employer can monitor the post and take necessary action?

Anyone else using their layoff as an excuse to finally pursue a new career?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

All these layoffs reminding me that loyalty is dead

Does your firm find out why you failed a clearance ? Asking bc I got fired from my first job out of college a couple years ago and didn’t report it on it company background check. I’m afraid if I fail my public trust, my current firm will find out and fire me for not reporting it on my prior employers.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Just got laid off today.... anyone hiring account executives? 3 years experience working across integrated campaigns in multiple industries. Hungry and eager to get back into the weeds!!

Has anyone taken a boot camp with Nucamp? Looking to join, but would first like to get a review on the boot camp from someone who has completed it.

I’m a private immigration attorney whose interested into transitioning into a high level federal government attorney position in the future (not in this administration). Ideally, I’d love to work in the solicitor general’s office.

I’m only a year or two into practice and am wondering if there are any tips to best position myself for this type of position? I don’t anticipate making any moves that way for at least 5 more years. No clerking experience or law review, so that’s -2 points for me

Gratitude thread: what are the top three to five things you’re grateful for as you reflect on the last two weeks?

Last song you listened to.. go!

Anyone else worried about their office plants?

i think we have finally squeezed out all the happy-go-lucky advertisers from this bowl and digitally transformed it into a consultant and lawyer cesspool... mission accomplished

Would I be dumb to start a PhD?

I just finished my MBA. I’d never even considered my masters until my employer paid for it. My MBA helped me get a huge pay rise and I’ve just settled into a new role that I love.

I’ve just been offered a full scholarship for a PhD in a topic I am passionate about, already an active advocate for and with academics I sincerely admire. The topic is directly for a study I already contribute to every year.

I want to do it, but don’t want to f*ck the rest of my life

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

Anyone joined NatWest recently..?

Speaking to a PE firm (4B aum) about a VP portfolio ops role. What is a reasonable comp to aim for? Recruiter mentioned 280k cash (will likely go a bit higher) & additional carry (details awaited)

How do you get past bad experience with recruiters? Recently got an offer but the recruiter was rude from the beginning and she can't answer any questions about RSU and refuse to negotiate salary at all. The work, the team and comp seems decent but I'm hesitating because of her. Should I still move forward?

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
(comment section cont

Are people willing to share UK&I specific comp details to help with transparency? Ive noticed any public trix we have access are always too US centric

What is personal independence??
Why Pwc asked me to fill all investment details for me and my dependant.
Can anyone please help me on this ??

Best consulting companies with exposure to the blockchain / digital assets space?

Planet Fitness is literally the worst gym, and if that stupid Lunk alarm goes off at 6:15am, I'm gonna rip it down with my bare hands and grunt the whole time I'm doing it.

Best decision before leaving the office 1 year ago - take the monitors & chair

Happy to refer 🐠 to Accenture! DM if you are interested.
