It’s been 5 months since I was laid off and it’s starting to really eat at me. It feels hopeless some days. I know I’m not alone, but wow this sucks.

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

PROPOSAL: Can we start naming names with respects to layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts? Knowledge is power, and the only ones who benefit from vague exchanges of info. are the employers. Thank you!

Want to warn stakeholders that their hostile, posturing emails with our main client CC'd is only going to backfire (main client ❤️ us). emails will no joke prob get some of them fired. #restructuring

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

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

Confronted client today about partner forcing us to travel while client site has travel restrictions. As a result is team is remote next week. Counting down days till I get rolled off/fired now lol

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Joining EY soon. Should I be worried about layoffs happening supposedly in June/July?

Hello, I was laid off last Friday as a Technical Program Manager. Any advice on what to do or if you know anyone hiring Program Managers / Sr. Program Managers / Technical Program Managers?

I work cross-functionally with 10+ teams in the org mainly supporting Product & Engineering to create and launch product features.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

Hi all,

If people are getting fired from companies only.because they are on bench for more than 3 months, is it wise approach to switch with higher salary now?

Please list companies who are firing people or asking them to resign so that we get a fair idea of which company to join?

Share thoughts pls 🙏

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?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Thoughts on Facebook. Would you work there if you could work on something interesting or just pass altogether?

So grossed out by nasty old man (triple my age) at the client. He came over to where I sat to discuss an issue and his hand "accidentally" falls on my lap! I just got up and walked away

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

If you could ask a partner of your firm any question anonymously, what would you ask?

Why do all the Creatives I've come across give the rest of the agency such attitude? Get off your high horses please.

Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Hey we saw your work and were impressed with your ____ project. we’d love to setup some time to chat.

Me: ok great. Here’s when I’m free_______

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Sorry have to cancel the meeting, doesn’t seem like your experience matches the job we are currently offering.

This has happened 4 times in the past few months. Like you reached out to me??

How many times a week do you ask yourself why you’re so terrible at advertising and why is it 1 billion?

I'm panicking because I think I got hired in at a title that's too high for my day to day. I Am relatively new and I got hired to work on a speciality practice that required some unique skills.

How many agencies that have spent the last year talking about Black Lives Matter/equality/diversity and then don’t do a very simple thing like closing in recognition of MLK Day?

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.

How do you go about this? Do you just swallow your pride and just take the paycheck? Try to fight for it tooth and nail while you still can?
