Joined Deloitte June '15, laid off Feb. 16. Been unemployed and searching since. Savings & severance depleted, debt surmounting, can't buy food until next wk. All this struggle behind a silent smile.

Big layoffs at Booz Allen Dubai and Abu Dhabi Cyber teams.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Who was laid off today

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?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Hi all, i was fired today because i said the truth!! Isn’t that interesting?

There have been surprising news with layoffs lately. Has anyone here been affected by the layoffs at Twitter or META?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

What if Elon Musk replaces Rajesh Gopinathan as the CEO of TCS?
All the useless managers will be fired?

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

Laid off with 1 YOE. Do I include college Awards / Extracurriculars (have just one line to list each right now) ? How about SAT scores?

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Has anyone seen firing in Deloitte India? Is there any process or employees are fired directly like few companies?

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

are producer salaries trending up or down in 2022?
