If you get laid off and have two strong projects in production what do you do? Do you get credit? Put it in your book anyway because you made it and it's not your fault you got laid off?

Hi all,

If people are getting fired from companies only.because they are on bench for more than 3 months, is it wise approach to switch with higher salary now?

Please list companies who are firing people or asking them to resign so that we get a fair idea of which company to join?

Share thoughts pls 🙏

Did someone get fired in the new manager training in Orlando after getting drunk?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

Laid off at PwC. It was more of a relief than anything. Anyone have any knowledge on openings at smaller (but not necessarily boutique) firms? Human Capital / Change Management related field.

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

Employment-at-will. Is that the norm in a consulting contract (I’m moving from Europe)? Can I / should I negotiate the notice period on their side or eventually the size of an eventual lay-off?

NDAs - signed my first one as a part of a severance agreement. thinking about leaving an honest review for this company, but unsure about the liabilities that come with this.

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

Deloitte FL/PR is turning into a joke.. if firm morale wasn't already suffering from layoffs, they increase minimum hours through December while half the offices are unassigned. Abandon ship.

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

People are getting laid off and I'm over here like "pick me pick me"

I always feel like I’m one mistake away from getting fired 😵

I literally almost threw my laptop. Didn't know I could be capable of such anger

Any potential flags/benefits for dual agency? My agent and the seller's agent work for the same company.

Team is already talking about eating hours. My utilization is down cause I was in unassigned for a month in Dec/Jan. What's worse pissing off the partner or having a low utilization? -staff 1

Recently joined TCS and hate the project here. Impossible to get a release from the project. I'm okay to quit. How do I break this to my manager?

My joining date is NoV 21st, can any one provide me some details.. Cab facility..? Allowances any .? Reallocation allowance..? Shift allowance..? Joining bonus..? I have one more offer from other company, let me know which company is best to join regarding the career growth.!

What is a look back analysis?

The "who loves dogs?" bowl is making my life much better right now

Cmon ppl, Trump wasnt that bad~










He was much much much WORSE~ it's a wrap

What do most people invest in for their Roth IRA portfolio? I’ve heard target funds and ETF’s..which one is better?

If I’m a Real Estate Agent buying my own property, can I negotiate the Buyers Agent commission to be 0% instead of being paid the buyers commission? Essentially converting what would be Income into Cost Savings for tax purposes?

While joining, the company says.. Congratulations, here is your offer letter. Kindly confirm your acceptance over email. As the last step you have to sign the OL "on the date of your joining."

Ques: Is signing OL on the date of joining a normal thing to do? On what basis should I be confident to tell my current org that I am leaving. What if they revoke?

How long does it typically take you to draft discovery responses? I feel like I’ve been at this way too long...

When is it appropriate to follow up after an interview for a lateral position? Had a screener call 2 weeks ago and then an interview with the partner + senior associate last Thursday where it was mentioned that they would “likely” want me to meet more people. I’m getting anxious but don’t want to bug them!

Looking for RPA Opportunities( Automation anywhere/ UiPath)

Let me know if any referrals are available.

Does anyone else here have a health condition that doesn’t increase your chances of getting covid compared to other people but if you DO get covid you’re at a high risk of getting severely sick? I’m in this position and worried about having to go back into the office soon, taking public transportation, etc. Our workplace will not be requiring masks or vaccines/knowing vaccination status and it’s making me worried having to deal with the increased risk.

I'm having difficulties connecting with my team over Zoom, and I'm feeling lonely. Anyone else?

Those who missed the TS&A FY21 session held today, Quinney told us there were only 12 promotes (2 of which are new MDs). TS&A has approx 200 people in it. Time to order a case of wine!

Why is this bowl so cold? 😀

Are salaries negotiable at performance review and/or promotion?

Have any creatives experienced the "favorite team" thing? Where all the work miraculously goes to them? Brief after brief. Time after time.

I don’t understand summer hours. If you have to make up the hours you take off for summer hours earlier in the week, aren’t you working just as hard in a more condensed amount of time?

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

A post-mort meeting scheduled with:
6 account
2 strategists
1 creative

Sounds like an ambush!

Here’s to the introverts finally getting a chance to have a little control over how and when interactions happen with others.

I was furloughed yet it doesn’t start until Friday. Per the VPs, this week we have to “transfer our knowledge” to our bosses. Bosses who haven’t been on these projects. Any advice?

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.

What big moves/life changes are you guys making in 2020?

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❤️

I applied for Miami Ad School NYC but to be honest, I’m not overly-impressed with the books that I see on the recent grads page. Conversely, the books I’m seeing from Creative Circus grads are insanely awesome. Am I missing something here or is one school good and the other just isn’t?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

Anybody have any tips on how to go about the relocation conversation? I’m looking to move out of the city with our main office to a city with a much smaller office. With post-covid office culture I can’t imagine it’s that big of an ask. That said, I’m in a junior role and have been with the company for less than a year so I don’t know if this is a question I should really even ask at this time.

Men 🐟: Is the unwritten rule of urban spacing dead?! Too many guys ponying up nice and close lately. Ladies, do you have any similar unwritten rules of the bathroom?

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Anyone in-house in the Bay Area and loving it? Where are you working?

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