I've been a top performer for years. Going the extra mile. Working nights and weekends.

And now I can't stand working past 5pm. And between 9-5 I can't focus on work either.

Things keep falling between the cracks and I'm honestly starting to hope that I just get fired soon.

I was laid off this month from a US-based company where I've been a reporter for the past 3 years or so... I live in Europe. I wonder if I'm likely to have luck with other remote-friendly US companies. Or are we already past that?

Jr AD’s- I’m looking to pay someone to help polish one of my projects. Need to work on it a bit more and then mock it up. Just got fired so I gotta revamp. $50 sound alright?

Someone under me was laid off. I referred her to the position I turned down. She got it. Happy for her. Can I ask what her offer was/what she’s making? I know I shouldn’t need to.....

Folks, any advice on applying for jobs at a previous client? As a firm we have great relationships with the senior client leadership and I am afraid that the GEP and my RL will eventually find out when I submit my job application. On the other hand, if I tell my RL prior to applying, I will probably end up towards the top of “people to be laid off” list.

For those of you who got laid off, did you hear anything about it in advance? Did you expect it? It seems like most people who got laid off were blindsided. P.S. I'm sorry if this happened to you.

How do you know if you’re about to get laid off due to factors that aren’t performance?

I’ve just learnt that my SO had reported on her creepy manager at a startup few years ago and got herself fired 2-3 weeks later. They asked her to signed some sort of NDA to collect severance. Does anyone know what type of legal assistance she can still look for if any? Any advice much appreciated.

Would you take the first job that’s offered to you after being laid off even if it doesn’t excite you and it may not be the right fit? In this economy? Worried that it could be a while until something else comes along.

Almost positive I’m being laid off today. How can I negotiate severance? What’s the best course of action ?

Hi guys, I got fired after H1B is approved but before it’s activated on Oct 1st. Is there any way I can transfer my H1B to my new employer? The H1B was filed via consular notification. I got fired in August, so don’t have any pay stubs for September. Btw currently I’m on STEM OPT.

Seeking advice. Has anyone negotiated severance pay during covid? I was just laid off after being with the company for 3yrs, working countless hours of overtime that I was never compensated for as an exempt employee and they only offered me two weeks pay as severance. Would appreciate feedback. #severance #covid #layoff

Is it common to be fired for performance reasons without a PIP?

Just got called & laid off over the phone. I have good snapshots & utilization had been above 96%. Where do I go from here? Was looking forward to CRT as this is a milestone year and all the hardwork

I’m in big law and went on flex time (paid less, expectations of billed time decreased) well before COVID, due to family obligations. Anyone else here in the same boat?

I’m wondering if others have raised their flex time status as a way to kindly decline work if it gets to be too much... with big law layoffs and furloughs abound, speaking up feels like a catch-22. I’m the breadwinner, grateful to be employed, and trying to stay sane.

Interested to know others’ thoughts: would you consider the actuarial profession to be recession proof? Do you think there are some tracks that are more protected than others? From where I sit, it’s hard to imagine a layoff of actuaries in my group (health consulting); we have more work than we can handle and are still actively recruiting.

Any creative communication ideas to reach employees that have limited email access?

We seem to do the same communications every year for open enrollment. We do an array of materials mailed to their homes, poster promotions around our campuses (both printed and digital), table tents for our cafe and vinyl decals for bathroom mirrors and office windows. Do you have a method you’ve used that works really well or is creative/innovative? Appreciate your thoughts!

This morning my husband asked me if i'm pregnant. I said no. He kissed my belly and left for work. I am pregnant and was planning to tell him on Christmas. He's a smart guy and def noticed the changes in lifestyle the pass few weeks thus prob why he asked. Am I in trouble for lying? caught me off guard this morning. Note: we miscarried before so this would mean the world to him.

Do you all rate yourselves higher than you maybe deserve when it comes to self evals? I tend to be highly critical of myself/suffer from imposter syndrome a bit but also realize I can lack motivation/slack off at times. Not sure if I should try to oversell myself a bit or be honest. For reference, my company’s rating scale is out of 5 with 3 being performs jobs well and 4 and 5 exceeding. Going back and forth between 3 and 4.

Traveling for the first time. What all do you expense during the week?
