Laid off :( any suggestions where to start?

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

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

I was laid off last to last week, can anyone of your please refer me to your company, I'm 1.5 year exp in Java Spring Boot Angular Postgres Camunda BPMN..

Deloitte people. I confirm layoffs of 4 ranked individuals and this year it's been hard rankings. Many 3s forced into 4. I was on the calls. Beware. Not trying to scare. Sharing facts.

Heard rumours of two agencies doing a round of layoffs, anyone here been impacted by Covid yet?

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

PPEDs: Just found out that a Partner, who was promoted in 2017, was fired. IDK the circumstances. What can they expect to walk away with besides 401k & normal pension plan?

Hi Fishes,

I have been laid off due to no project in EPAM anywhere. Please help me in getting immediate job with Manual testing, API testing skills. Total experience is 7.11years ans relevant experience is 3.2years. Last da will be 20th September 22. Preferred Work from Home location.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

I’m so worried I’ll get laid off. Last week I was slammed, but this week is slow, and I’m just so anxious...

What are different levels/positions present in Marsh McLennan?

Does anyone else use Elmer's paper mache paste seriously what is going on? Do you know of a good replacement? Wheat paste almost always turns into a smelly mold habitat for me.

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son. My husband is the kindest, most patient and supportive man I’ve ever met other than my dear late grandfather. He is saintly. But the chaos that surrounds him hurts me. I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

What do people recommend for start-up relevant marketing resources/books/personalities/podcasts?

A friend of mine has an expert sourcing startup and she has been receiving request asking for consultants to support in projects for top firms. Do you know how she can locate ex-consultants who are interested to freelance and work independently?

URGENT: Can anyone refer me for an entry-level software engineer/ Trainee Software engineer role (Java preferred)? I need a job on an urgent basis as my current organization has asked me to put down my papers due to changed business requirements (read layoffs) and has given me 30 days to find a new job. And I would really appreciate you guys if you can provide me with any help in this situation.
