If you are fired from your job for performance, how do you respond to a potential employer on why you left or was fired?

Will there be layoffs at grip/dentsu? just saw that they’re folding the Grip agency brand 👀

A small part of me wish I would get laid off and be forced into freelancing so I can make 💰 💰 💰

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

What are your expenses/time horror stories? Has anyone gotten fired in relation to expenses? Compensation withheld?

Any body have to take a month off work to go to rehab then return? With a threat that most likely your current account will be handled by someone else and suffering lack of confidence maybe even fired

Layoffs at Omnicom shops today?

Any agency layoffs yet? (I obviously hope not. Just trying to get a sense of where agencies are sitting.)

Is anyone working somewhere with a hiring freeze right now? I started this job about 6 months ago and I'm worried I'll be the first one out now that they're officially pausing. Should I be looking for another job, and how much will this affect my resume if I get laid off?

To everyone that’s been laid off I just want y’all to know that I’m with you. That is why I’m doing the bare minimum until it’s my time to go.

So with all the layoff talk on the BL bowl, how’s Texas M&A market doing? Anyone expect an uptick in Q4?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Still in a pandemic. Hiring freezes are still in place. Seeing a lot of local businesses go under. Do you think things will turn around in September or get worse? Do you think there will be more layoffs or terms “due to performance” and more businesses lost?

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

Hi All, posting on behalf of a sibling based in Bangalore,India. She has been impacted by the ongoing layoffs and is in search of a new role. She has about 6 years of experience working in Business Development in the Edtech domain. If you or anyone you know is hiring then please comment and I can get you connected.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

I currently hold a bachelor in accounting and I am looking into transition to the Cybersecurity world. I have an interest in working with the banks doing penetration testing.

Can anyone recommend a Tech Bootcamps in the ATL or Metro Atlanta Area

When hirings managers ask illegal or unethical questions that is not relevant to the job or skills needed for the role like...
How much are you making at current job
Are you pregnant or have any children
Do you have reliable daycare
Do you have reliable transportation
Do you have a criminal record

Have y'all experienced this?

Going to miss the bench come Monday ): been an awesome 3 weeks.

I have a really great production coordinator that’s working under me and because of money issues, he hasn’t been given a raise or promotion in nearly two years. He works his ass off and everyone loves working with him. Does any know of any junior producer roles at agencies? Would love to help him out.

Any recommendations for good recruiting agencies in the Carolinas? Trying to find someone to help me navigate my potential lateral career options based on my experience and interests since I’ve been in litigation almost two years and it’s not for me and I will be relocating there.

Hi Fishes,
I am looking to transition into Product Management. I am prepping and thinking if someone could help me with mock interviews?
Thanks

I’m a first year doing IP due diligence and I’m finding that it’s a great learning opportunity on what *not* to do for contracts/contracting processes.

Has anyone else found this to be true? What are your takeaways?

I just gave notice. I’ll need to take some of my work products with me because I’m flying solo. What is the best way of leaving the firm with some of your work products besides taking photos of them? 🥲

What’s the fastest/youngest you’ve ever seen someone make partner?

Abu Dhabi Turn 1. Hamilton crashes into Max, who returns the favor. Massive fist fight as they exit their cars. Both are disqualified and Bottas is the champion.

Anyone here have thoughts on Helium (HNT)? I’ve been a fan for a while now
