I had a friend who gave notice then the very next day her entire dept was laid off (big restructuring) so she lost out on 12 weeks of severance. Her boss was a jerk for not just telling her or telling her to wait another day before giving notice

A guy at my old company put in his two weeks and then the company went bankrupt a few days later, unbeknownst to him. Still got paid out for his unused PTO and was able to get unemployment for the month or so he had between jobs

If you think layoffs are happening, you could ask to be laid off when you find a new job. I know a few people who have. Managers usually prefer to have someone voluntarily get laid off instead of having to pick a person to lose their job.

I dream of this on a weekly basis

Take the money and run!

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
