Is anyone else worried about potential layoffs in the industry due to coronavirus?

Hi,

Is this a good time to join HP? As they have recently announced 6000 layoffs in 2 years.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

I don’t understand protesting during a pandemic. I haven’t gotten Covid and to me it’s not worth the risk.

Is severance taxed higher? I got 1 month of pay but seemed to be taxed much higher

Okay! So I love my job! LOVE IT. But I am actually struggling to have that boundary between work and life… since COVID I shut off and tv has been my downtime. But now I only work and watch tv and sleep. I’ve been trying to get a hobby, but I’m not motivated… I get home and I want to keep working. Any tips to create that work life balance?

Anybody else in the banking sector and feel things have been so much more hectic since covid?

A little over a year ago, I posted about my boss making constant comments about my salary. Most comments said I must not have been performing well. I want to update that he was fired, not me.

Hi everyone, my sister was fired from her job because her exemption from the vaccine got rejected. She has Director of Nursing experience as well as experience with case management and utilization review. Anyone know of any startups or tech companies that are remote and wouldn’t require a vaccination that are hiring for experienced nurses? Really appreciate the help! Any leads are welcome!

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

I think I’m going to be fired tomorrow morning and I am not even sad about it.

Anyone think Salesforce will have layoffs in the near future?

One of the best things about COVID lockdown: The pause on “how many points?” posts in this bowl.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Looking for a suggestion for a date spot that would be convenient and a good halfway meeting point: i’m in Murray Hill and my date is coming from Astoria. I usually have my dates meet me here when they live in Manhattan but I think somewhere halfway would be more fair in this case.
