Is there a "layoff season"? Want to know what to anticipate

Hey all, ~7 years I've been working with fixed income analytics (duration, spread, etc) and perf attribution for institutional inv mgmt firm with close to $400B aum. I'm being laid off in a couple months. Should I say I'm being laid off in interviews? Or is that a negative? I get severance if I stay the whole time so ideally I can time it. Have finance degree, CFA charter. Most of work has been IG, but also some HY, EM and equity. Want to go into equity research/PM- worried I'm pigeonholed

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?

Laid off after Thanksgiving. 54. Not done yet. Plenty to offer. In Detroit but ready and able to move anywhere. AD/CD. Hangin in there. How bout you?

Hey Everyone, I’m a new mom who was recently laid off the week my maternity leave ended. My daughter is now 14 months and I’ve been applying like crazy for 2 months with not much success. I work in mid level IT Support Any tips?

Heard there were layoffs at Fitzco. Apparently they lost Navy Federal

Since Florida is an at-will state, can an individual be fired for a lack of productivity in a physically demanding work environment (if that lack of productivity is due to a heart condition)?

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?

Have you ever negotiated a severance? Company ended my employment and wants me to sign a mutual non-disparagement, waive suing them, etc. but they didn't offer me any money. They are fully in the wrong, it's a disability related issue. My options are 1. Sign 2. Refuse to sign 3. Try to negotiate. 4. Sue them (contingent on attorney taking the case). I'd prefer to negotiate, but not sure that's realistic.

What is the most legendary way you’ve ever seen someone quit or get fired?

Has anyone been offered severance verbally only to have it revoked after you accepted? If so, how did you handle it?

I have a contingent offer after being laid off in spring due to COVID. Since then the job market has obviously been tough, so a few buddies and I started a start up that has done very well, but we haven’t filed for LLC status yet (keeps pushing back). We have ~10 guys working on various areas. I just received an offer back in my usual industry, and have been truthful in my experiences. Will they ding me in a background check since there’s no 1099 to prove formal employment? FYI I have references

Lay-offs at JWT Atlanta. Anyone know of any production/pm openings in Atlanta? Just got laid off by JWT Atlanta on Thursday, effective Friday...

Im doing good work at Deloitte, have excellent and supportive network and am leading or part of innovative engagements. I also happen to like the firm. However I am starting to get a lot of offers from industry, average TC of these offers are at 1.5x to 2x of my current pay. Could use the money, but also am afraid of being laid off during recession and or not going for partnership at Deloitte. Should I start planning my exit?

Hey everyone! Curious, does anyone have experience negotiating severance upfront with their compensation package? 👀 I work in media & entertainment, so with all these m&a going on, I'd rather have this conversation while it's still the honeymoon phase. Thanks!

Thanks for the support in advance 😊

I'm pregnant and today was the due date. Baby hasn't come yet and is my first. Am I being completely unreasonable for being upset that my husband not only didn't get me a gift, but also expected me to take care of getting dinner for our mother's?
