Kirkland spokesperson confirmed the layoffs and called them “performance-based.” Absolutely savage and will make it harder for laid off associates to get jobs after website time ends.

Soft layoffs at ProServe today ?

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

My account partner is doing a terrible job and will be getting fired—timeline TBD. Given we are living in a pandemic, I want to give them a heads up to start job hunting. How inappropriate is that? How could I do it?

Blue shield of CA fired 375 people. Any other insurance companies having massive layoffs?

Is it normal to negotiate for a bigger severance package if it happens within the first year? Because Meta may have something for me but TBH I'm nervous about their hiring freeze news.

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

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

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

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Had a fight with my MD or let's say more like argument. After that the next 2 months was endless nitpicking and pulling me for mistakes that aren't really in my control.

Post 3 months, I apply for a transfer. Transfer process delayed for some process reasons
No negatives/issues in my f22 feedback. Utilization above target. Way Above average
Recently fired without reason
Who should I escalate to?

PS: Ignore typos. Written in anger

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?

Looking for advice in what to ask for when you get the call to be let go.

Got an offer from EY FSO ITS. Heard it would be tough, anyone works in that group can give any advice ? Thanks!

What are some things you do daily or weekly to improve as a product marketer? I’m looking for examples of how you use your personal time to improve as well as what you do at work.

Can we work from Puerto Rico without facing VPN issues? Or we need to get some kind of special permission?

So im starting to lead meetings with clients but I always find myself going back and forth with the client trying to get more information following the initial WT which I feel is annoying . Is this normal or do I need to do a better job of writing out questions and agendas prior to the meeting.

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

Does anyone pursuing FIRE actually like their current job? Trying to get a grasp of how much of the FIRE movement is driven by escapism from unfulfilling work.

I’ve been doing change management and communication for many years with DEI experience on the side. How do I tell my DEI story to transition to a DEI career? How do I decide what level I should apply for?

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

What's better: in-house / client-side, or agency? Why?

Accenture, you good mate? Too much turkey?

Bain🐠, do ANY of y’all know experienced hires that got into your firm pre-MBA (no advanced degree)? These mythical creatures, or rather unicorns that are rare but possible?

I'm looking to return to the U.S. after over a decade living and working in SSA (Marcom for ecommerce startups and tech enabled nonprofits). I've been job hunting as I plan my move in the fall but haven't gotten any serious bites. Does anyone have any pointers to ease the process of transcontinental job hunting?

It's super frustrating to be "time poor".

That's seemingly just the nature of working in Biglaw.

But every day you have the option to buy back your time.

How do you buy back time?

It's simple—by saving and investing.

And you don't need to be uber wealthy to regain control of your time.

Consider this…

Welp did not get selected in the H-1 visa lottery. I guess my time in this country has come to an end.

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

I’d rather quit than revise this agreement.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Thoughts on Steptoe & Johnson? Particularly DC office. Considering applying. Thanks!

Do big law firms typically need references when you lateral from another big law firm? I don’t think I suck at my job but haven’t made close partner connections at my current firm so not sure who I would ask.

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?

What sort of work is considered corporate finance? This was referenced in a energy practice related interview and am not sure what sort of work that would entail.

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover? I helped out back on July on a deal with they were on vacation, and now every vacation since they keep adding me back on without keeping me appraised of the deal in the interim

I don’t drink any alcohol. How does this impact camaraderie within the firm and ultimately with clients?

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?

Give me the strength to set a boundary today and do something fun instead of waiting by my computer for emails
