I’m at an agency that just went through several rounds of layoffs. It often seems like staff have no recourse when the layoffs hit. How could a staff union assist in that situation?

I'm super new to being freelance (after getting laid off) so I have all of the questions. Main thing right now is how do you usually find your gigs and how far in advance do you start reaching out? I'm in NYC if it matters.

Everyone was speaking badly about Deloitte in regards to layoffs. At least some people from EY even said they were happy they were at EY and not Deloitte because of the layoffs.

Then EY started laying people off. Where did this end up? Is Deloitte still the worst in regards to these pandemic layoffs, or did EY surpass them now? Or are they about the same?

I was recently laid off from a startup due to funding cuts. Would anyone be willing to refer me to Meta/Facebook? Could really use any help I can get.

I’m not being sued personally but just accepted service intended for somebody else for strategic reasons. The plaintiff in this situation sent a request to void my acceptance of service as ineffective, which I’m not going to do. In the letter, they mentioned that their client is poor so they had to use a crappy law firm. I was talking with the partner of my group today, and were cracking up because we both know that if that were true, they would be going through Kirkland. Then he fired me.

I want to give upward feedback that my manager takes 10x too long to say anything. But I don't want to get fired. So I will just enjoy these extra long calls and meetings instead.

I am getting a lot of pressure from my mom to rethink my relationship with my bf. She says he’s too laid back and doesn’t seem to be a “go getter” meaning he only wanted to take 2 classes a semester for his MBA while working a pretty laid back job that he got laid off from. He’s taking an extra class this semester but she’s comparing him to working moms who also do school part time. This is making me so upset because he’s a wonderful human.

Is there an argument that unions make better creative? I think creatives are afraid that unionized agencies would be one more reason to take creative in-house. Or, can in-house creatives unionize too?

Laid off. Offered an industry job with a great team at a ~20% pay increase. Requires moving cross country, away from boyfriend, family, and network. Thoughts? I'm pre-MBA so could go back for bschool.

Anyone live near Union Station? Overwhelmed with the apartment buildings in the area. Anyone have recommendations for any of the luxury newer buildings to look at?

if u have a gap in ur resume of a few months due to being laid off last year, is it better to admit that you were laid off and were looking for jobs or come up with another (admittedly false) reason for the gap? considering some have biases against people that were laid off...even though they shouldn’t

Just got close to my dream exit opp offer. With folks getting laid off I cannot celebrate big with my account like normal so I am going to brag here :)

relating to past experiences or just your own rationale, is it statistically women or men that tend to get fired more than the other?

Will getting laid off affect b school chances?

So excited that I got my first exit offer and it’s a tech company! This is my first time getting a tech offer, so I wanted some advice negotiating comp. Nothing was mentioned about a sign-on bonus or a yearly bonus. Just base + RSUs. Any advice on what I should go after first when negotiating?
