Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia
Hi all.
Has anyone in IBM been on bench for more than 4 months here?
I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.
And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?
I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.
Thanks in advance
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
Is congizant doing layoffs?

I actually think that's a pretty healthy perspective, to be honest. At the end of the day, we don't live to just be an employee. We are multifaceted, dynamic individuals. Your job shouldn't define you, and our modern culture acts like being a cog in the machine is some sort of badge of honor… Get your paycheck, go home, live your life.
I can't disagree with a lot of what you're saying. I'm at the point where I still care about work, and doing good and meaningful work. But I also recognize that to some extent we are just cogs in a soulless machine. My professional worth is often decided by things that don't really matter, and it does begin to feel like a pointless performance. Having said that, still want/need to find a job, so all I can do is recognize that all the world's a stage and I need to play my part.
I think you are smart to not have much ego attached to it anymore. Work is work, it's not your identity or your worth. It's just a means to paying your bills. I do wonder, though, if this attitude comes through in your interviews and could be hurting your chances of getting hired.

Well i understand that, then I see others still getting promoted and awards. I wonder if someday I will be there someday. Idk how to feel anymore, just hanging on to faith.
I am sorry to hear you are feeling that way. I have definitely been there and I know how tough that is. I kind of feel the same way about my work, its nothing more than a paycheck at this point and a way to pay my bills.

I will admit this is why I no longer care about the 2-week rule when quitting. Jobs just feel like a means to an end anymore to me.
