Interesting question I was discussing with some colleagues:

What are crazy reasons you've seen someone get fired for?

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

Hello everyone. I have 9 years of experience in iOS development. I have worked in swift, react native, reactjs, blockchain. Was working a product lead. Got laid off last week. Looking for an opportunity.
Thanks in advance!

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Just got laid off today.... anyone hiring account executives? 3 years experience working across integrated campaigns in multiple industries. Hungry and eager to get back into the weeds!!

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

Is current layoffs only happening in Amazon US offices or Amazon India offices as well ?

How is the layoff at Eli Lilly?
Are they kicking out people because of free insulin tweet?

@lilly @Eli Lilly

How is VISA managing the upcoming economic slowdown? Any word of slowdown in hiring or hiring freeze? How did VISA manage employees during the Covid recession? Any layoffs occur then?

For all fired this year, do you put on your background check (for a job offer) that you were discharged? Heard EY doesnt share if you were fired or resigned, so am wondering what others are putting...

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.

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Hi all.

Unfortunately I've lost my job yesterday (laid off) and I'm looking for a new job.
I've 2.4YOE as a data scientist and I can join immediately.

Please DM me if you have any openings to share.

TIA.🙏

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

TELUS culture is one of the strongest aspects of Telus.

Telus is one of the most friendly and encouraging companies to work for. Telus doesn't layoff unless it has too (Telus will place you elsewhere instead). Telus is one of those workplaces that people stay for decades and refer their families and friends. You will not be disappointed at Telus if positive work environment is important to you.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

I opted not to go to our holiday party this year, but I have extreme anxiety about potential repercussions! Am I making the right choice? Context is in comments below. Would appreciate any insight!

Is anyone know why the wipro extending joining date ? Is it safe to wait till the extended date.?

If I’m getting dragged heavily for my performance and am completely overloaded with work, is it best to start looking for another job? I suspect I might get PIP’d this summer unless our abysmal staffing issues prevent that.

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

I like to pursue in the data science field. I have business Analyst experience but to switch to data science field could you guide me on what should I learn? Where should I start?

I'm curious, what are your ground rules? Like what are some of the tasks someone might ask you to do, and you'll just flat out say no. Banner Ads notwithstanding.

I run 3x per week and started having left knee pain. Got an X-ray and it turns out I have mild arthritis in both knees. Has anyone else been diagnosed? What are your remedies? I got an inflammatory and hope it provides some relief!

How do folks feel about I bonds right now? They’re earning 9+% at the moment.

I keep watching Schitt's Creek reruns now and then. It makes me feel warm and mushy, but also super lonely. So tired of being perpetually single. I know it's been posted about here a bunch of times before but it still sucks. Venting and knowing you're not alone, helps a tiny bit. =) Also does anybody else thing Patrick is essentially just a 'too good to be true' fantasy boyfriend Dan Levy dreamed up and put on the show?

What does the Tax Reporting & Strategy Deals team at PwC do? Do they have busy seasons or all year round busy? What’s the pay like compared to other tax specialties such as general compliance or M&A? Thanks in advance.

My team & I ALWAYS end up working through lunch. On Friday I decided to log off, go to the store, get food, come home, sit, eat, then log back in. Felt nice & nothing bad happened. Imma do this often.

Considering the FRM certification. Those who’ve taken it, how quant heavy is it? I have a compliance risk background and don’t have a deep math or statistics background. However, I want to expand my skillset. Any thoughts?
