If you are happy with your job, but need to make sure you can feed your family at the end of the quarter when more layoffs are expected, do you stay or do you go?

My little sister got engaged today. She’s so in love and she truly found her soulmate. I’m so happy for her but I can’t help but feel bad for me. She’s always been an over achiever and has always “beat” me in everything (job, looks, love, social life etc). She and her fiancé are moving into a nice new condo in an amazing city while I’m single and stuck with my parents because I got laid off during Covid. I love my sister, but I’m so sad about my current state. I don’t know how to feel better.

So what do you say to your CEO at his farewell party, after he gotten fired?

I have a concern about an ex co worker whom was fired at the beginning of the week for poor attendance. Before being fired she was harassing me constantly sending me paragraphs of why she was mad at me and then would come in hug me and kiss my cheeks and apologize & then do it again. This happened a handful of times. She has come into work everyday since being fired just walking around. She has been texting my friends making up stories about me. Is there anything I can do? I thought it was over.

The big shops are executing their rounds of layoffs. What about the smaller ones, fishes?

Spring '19: Agency suddenly "asks me to leave." Covid layoff? Covid not a thing yet. They just didn't want *ME*.

Spring '19-Summer '20: Battle 10-bajillion other freelancers for scraps of work, riddled w/ fear/shame/doubt that career's over & can't support my family. LOSER DAD!

Summer '20: Get freelance gig, in-house, big brand, nice ppl, producing tons...wait, they actually need/want ME?

Summer '21: Still permalance. Happiest yr of life creatively AND personally

So?: Don't give up.

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP? I made a pretty big mistake that required supplemental filings with government offices to fix (missed some items when reviewing/comparing long lists of things across 20-30 years). It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?

Layoff going on in Synechron ?

hardest week I’ve experienced in my career (25) and I just can’t stop crying. It’s too much pressure and I don’t know how I will get through this. I worked until 9pm+ every night this week and at this point I see no balance between work and personal life. I understand there’s good days and bad but this week was insane. Im scared Im going to get fired for not being good enough and I know I’m unhealthy mentally. It’s also impacting the relationships in my life. No question just venting.

Laid off with 1 YOE. Do I include college Awards / Extracurriculars (have just one line to list each right now) ? How about SAT scores?

Recently accepted an offer at Twitter (I haven’t resigned yet thankfully) and of course have yet to hear back since the news of the layoffs.

Am I crazy to move forward if the offer isn’t rescinded? I’m deflated after many rejections, unhappy in my current role and the role is something I’m passionate about - I’m also no better off in terms of TC and frustrated since there will be no RSU package due to the acquisition.

I have very mixed feelings after how they treated their staff this week!

Locked in $22k gain on BA 4/12 puts this morning. Could’ve been $30k but with the volatility, got spooked out on the opening bump to $380 given its resiliency and surge potential.

I have a wait from day 3 to day 5 . Anyone can talk to me how their embroyo looked on day 3 that resulted in a successful transfer ? I have a wide variety of results .

Logging off on time and could use a boost. What song MUST be on our wedding dinner playlist? (Very low key wedding! No dance floor.) Thanks in advance.

Do 60 mins of exercise everyday (biking, rowing, or running).

Run 5 miles easily. Do weights 3x per week and yoga like 6x per day in addition to cardio.

Serious question: if a construction worker/electrician/plumber can make a six figure TC, what’s the purpose of going to college and even getting a master’s degree? I’m watching CNBC Make It and this 24-year old guy who’s a overhead lineman is earning a base of 120k and a TC of 230k and buying properties in Chicago to make more money.

Does anyone use Fundrise? How has your experience been if you use it?

Little sister started college has done dating, drugs, alcohol, and sex in the 1st month already.

I'm her very vanilla older brother (i.e. never done any of the above). Feeling overwhelmed with the tmi.

Anyone deal with this, how do you handle it? I like the fact she trusts me enough to talk to me freely but I have no idea how Im supposed to give her the guidance she's looking / asking for. Feeling more unqualified than as when I'm introduced as a SME to a new client.

Does EY reimburse business periodicals that are related to your line of work? Would it fall under the “education” bucket that can be approved as long as you get PPED approval if it is less then $250?

Lots of people talk about going from Tier 2 / Big 4 to MBB, but what’s the best way for year 1/2’s to do so? Would assume referrals from similarly leveled colleagues wouldn’t matter, online apps?

Would you rather a strategy and ops role at FAANG or MBB?

I didn’t realize until I started tracking and trading and don’t want to be screwed

Any other Deloitte folks get screwed in their year end rating because of low utilization since there were so few projects to be had earlier this year? Manager openly said it was "beyond my control".

Any recommendations on a journal or planner to form a positive outlook?

Has anyone had success in writing off tuition for a part-time MBA program as a work related expense? If so, how did you address the requirement around “maintains or improves your job skills”?

Accenture Managers & up: does Accenture pay a new phone + plan? Or do they just reimburse the cost of your personal plan.

Turning in my one and only phone to D and trying to decide if I need to buy a new one now or figure out a temporary solution until Accenture sends one in about a month when I start.
