Incredibly tone-deaf: the same day layoffs happen at Weber Shandwick and Golin, the head of a sister IPG PR agency posts about winning best place to work 🙄

Is it true that EY is mulling over layoffs as client projects are reducing..?

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

I recently cleared all rounds of interview for Mindtree and waiting for the offer letter. However, since Mindtree has been recently acquired by LTI, is there any layoff expected to happen in Mindtree?
Kindly pls give me an idea about how the situation is now in both companies.

Anybody else also having the layoffs anxiety already ? Any update/rumours about GL ?

I hear Grant Thornton has been doing more layoffs? We need staff (associates, seniors, managers) in forensics / disputes and investigations in SF if anyone is looking to make a move! Message me

Do you "work" other than transition or KT after you are told you're being laid off? Just curious what level of work I should provide til my last day.

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.

Hi, I am looking for a job due being laid off. I have experience working with ServiceNow as an end user with my previous company. Would that be enough to get a job with ServiceNow?

Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.

Can you pls share your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Anyone else using their layoff as an excuse to finally pursue a new career?

Does anyone have any insights about the layoff rumors at Morgan Stanley?

Big layoffs at Booz Allen Dubai and Abu Dhabi Cyber teams.

how many employees got laid off from zs in recent days and which job profile has been affected the most?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

URGENT: Can anyone refer me for an entry-level software engineer/ Trainee Software engineer role (Java preferred)? I need a job on an urgent basis as my current organization has asked me to put down my papers due to changed business requirements (read layoffs) and has given me 30 days to find a new job. And I would really appreciate you guys if you can provide me with any help in this situation.

#layoffs

Thanks in advance

Please suggest me good bowls 🙏

Joining Google in a few weeks and assuming I will be moving to the Bay Area sometime this year. For people who have kids, what do you do about schools? My wife and I are looking to buy a place but most the public schools in the South Bay are rated terribly. It’s good to note we don’t have kids yet but are trying to think longer term. Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!

What is the typical team size a Deloitte Manager leads? I have about a year of experience leading a small team (3-5 people) and am at the Associate level at Booz Allen.

Would I be better suited for Deloitte SC or Manager level? I have 8 YOE total and 3 YOE in consulting. I have plenty of experience managing workstreams, just not a lot of people management. Not afraid of a challenge but also don't want to set myself up for failure if I'd be expected to jump in and manage 50+ person teams...

I'm working with EPAM, 7.8 yoe as dot net full stack with ctc 26LPA. Fed up with my current tech stack now project want on call support over weekend. no one knows project. No one is supporting.

She said, will check with business and get back to me. It's been 3 days no response, when I called her today she didn't pick. Is it normal in EY?

Has a partner ever come back and asked you why you spent so much time on certain things? Im a first year and this hasn’t happened to me at my firm and they tell us not to cut our own time, but my first firm (short stint, small firm) did this to me allll the time and made me feel guilty — so just curious if this has happened to anyone in big law.

My coworker constantly undermines me and makes me look bad in team meetings. Should I try and address this directly with them or should I go to my manager first?

Currently Talenttree doesn’t have opportunity based on my profile

Help me to choose among following options:

1. How long do I need to wait for the matching profile meanwhile continue doing 201 certifications?

2. Should I resign or no need to because bench period early release might be negotiable?

Just got a job as a communications specialist in government, but I come from a marketing agency background. Any advice, things I should teach myself, professional certificates/affiliation recommendations? I want to focus on developing in-demand skills early on in my career. TIA!!!

Best client perk you've received?

I’m considering a move from NYC to LA. I work in health and am curious what the top agencies are out there? There might be some apples to apples but figured I’d ask as I start my search. Also, would love any salary variations that may be worth considering.

Manger (SAE) & Senior Manager (AS) salary ranges at Edelman, Weber and W2O? Need some guidance on three offers.

Any advice to give if you are a one-person communications team at a mid-sized NGO and you have to do internal comms (newsletter, website), external comms(statement, press releases), and social media on your own without help?

What is a typical salary for an SVP, 15 years of experience, at a large PR agency in the LA or NYC market?

I’ve been at a job a year and have what I would call a very toxic manager. When I first started they were very nasty to me making comments about my appearance, my character and other inappropriate and mean things. I let them know how this made me feel and they stopped however I continue to notice how manipulative and condescending they are. My mental health is at a low. We are about to be at our busy season but I want to leave so bad. Should I wait until after the busy season or leave asap?

Thinking about transitioning from advertising (10 years as a copywriter) into public relations. Has anyone in this bowl done that? What types of roles should I be looking for?

Getting ready to go freelance after a decade doing corp comms in agencies. Looking for guidance or good resources on how to determine my hourly rate. Any solo practitioners got advice? I am nervous about underselling myself.

What are some of your recos for the best comms/PR books and sites to learn more deeply and further your knowledge in your role?

Need real thoughts on culture and management at Golin health and FH.

Looking for any communication roles. 10+ years of experience in public (local and federal government consulting) and private sector. Either remote/hybrid, or in the DC metro area. Thanks!

See the George Floyd trial verdict will be announced in the next hour.

How are you counseling clients around this? Or, are you not counseling clients on this?

Curious to hear from the bowl.

Started recently in February and ended up on clients I don’t love/understand. I know for a fact I want to change at least one account. How do I go about asking HR this? When would be an optimal time?

Does anyone have insights on GoodFuse? Was talking to GCI Health about a role and they pivoted me to this company under the GCI umbrella.

How can I get into PR? I have advertising background and would love to start PR consulting. How do I build my outreach network?

Zalando ghosted me after 3 interviews and 1 assessment. Don't waste your time!

What’s the culture like at H+K? I get the impression that it’s a lot more up tight than other big agencies. I get old school, suited up, lobbying type PR vibes but I could be wrong.
