Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

Take a few days to feel sorry for yourself, come to terms with it -but no more than that. Email your closest people in your network to let them know and ask for advice, help, etc. update your resume, have people look at it, then start applying everywhere. Look on LinkedIn and research what positions you'd be interested in, find someone who works in it and ask to connect with them. That's how I got my job after being laid off. It's very scary at first but I'm so much happier now
Thanks @PWC - I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I actually feel so much lighter/happier already. Just want to be thoughtful and strategic about what comes next!
Did you get a severance bonus?
Got a friend that got laid off at Cisco and he got a 5month paid severance package.
He knew to start looking a month in advance and Had an offer within the week of being laid off. His start date was 5 months out though... Which matches his severance package. So he's traveling the world getting paid for 5 months and then starts a new gig with a raise. He's essentially getting promoted. Solid outcome.
Continue as if you have a job. Go out and find your next opportunity, shake your network tree, think about what you really want. Best of luck!
^completely agree, happened to me somewhere else. Give yourself a few days don't agree to anything don't make plans just let yourself process and then work on a personal action plan. It's not the end of the world, just a bump in the road.
Got laid off before thanksgiving and am in the same boat. Trainings and applying. Also considering a part time gig to get me out of the house every once in a while.
Just now?
People at Deloitte who got laid off? Did you know it was coming? Was it just a mysterious calendar invite from a partner?
4 months severance + pto. No I had no friggin clue, just got an invite for a meeting same day.
4 weeks***
Good that will get you though the new year so you have time to look for a new job and start in the new year.
