which agencies are going through layoffs right now? any hiring?

Longshot post but does anyone have friends at City of Seattle, King County? Just recently got laid off by Accenture and I want to pivot towards work in the community, urban planning, etc. Really just want to do fulfilling work. Looking for a reference! 🙏

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

Hi! Asking for someone who’s getting laid off at the end of the year — know it’s not advertising, but anyone have or know of any openings for occupational health and safety or environmental health and safety managers? Super experienced candidate with a wide range of experience. Please comment or DM me if so and I’ll get you in contact! 🙏🏻

So what’s happening in the local shops? Layoffs? Hiring freezes?

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

I’m 1 year post-MBA and was just let go despite top performance results—firm is not acknowledging COVID layoffs, though. Given 5+ YOE w/background in tech sales could BizOps be a fit? TIA!

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

I know this doesn’t count as an interview, but overall professional advice needed:
Any tips on asking for better severance pay?

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

When the layoffs hit the BBbanks, where are the first cuts amongst IB, sell side research, buy side research, trading, sales, operations? Maybe rank starting with first out.

Suppose your work for employer A. You get a job with employer B who files you H1-B transfer and you get fired by employer A before the transfer is approved. Does that have any effect on transfer?

What do you think of today’s (6/9) IBM major worldwide Cloud outage? Could it be related to the recent major layoffs?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Which agency has the Corona virus test kits account? Any rumblings of which client is working on a vaccine?

Fellow Fishbowlers,
Need to discuss an offer I got from MasterCard for Director of Product, based in Pune, India. Below are my details:
I am a multiple time founder, ran my company for 4 years, a self funded startup, so no concept of salary. My last CTC with a US based firm as a consultant was USD 96000 until Jan 2021 (I was residing in India).
I have an offer in hand from a startup for 90 LPA + 1Cr worth of ESOPs.
What number should I start with and what should I really expect? Thanks much.

Anyone apply to an eMBA, taking advantageous of the GMAT/GRE/EA waiver? Did it work out for you? Any regrets or other thoughts.

Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious? They're claiming it's due to allergies, but I've gotten several confidential concerns from employees and customers alike due to the current enviornment.

I am interested in getting my SHRM-CP certification this year and I was wondering which study methods and materials worked best for those of you who passed the exam. Also, what are your roles in HR?!

I have 2 years of sales experience but am looking to make a career change into HR? Any tips of how to standout on my resume or any general advice? Thanks!

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

I’m not a biglaw attorney but have been working on a few matters with Wilson Sonsoni for some time. We have a good working relationship. Didn’t go to a T14, had middle of the pack grades. What’re the odds they’d consider me as a lateral in the Washington DC office? Is it even worth applying? Is a STEM background absolutely mandatory? Any other insights on culture and expectations at WS’s DC office would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Does anybody work in a rule for a litigation finance or legal funding company who doesn't hail from a big law firm in background? Basically I have a lot of interest in the area have read a book about it in my free time and was wondering what sort of entry level opportunities I should be seeking.

You’re given 5 minutes where your dog can speak/understand English. What would you say to him/her?

Have you ever been racially discriminated against in a personal healthcare situation/not at work? While you were ill or in the hospital? Obviously horrible when it happens to anyone but it takes the cake for me when white people in healthcare discriminate about Black people when they don't know they work in the same field and know how they should be treated.

Any Saudi folks here? Alf Mabrook!

Should you add your credentials in your email signature? Would love to hear your thoughts. I have an MBA mentioned in mine and I’ve heard mixed feedback about it on the internet. I value my education, also, they paid for my MBA so obviously they want employees to have one.

Anyone else crave lazy days on the weekend but then feel super guilty for not being productive?

How can I help our UX/UI people and developers become more familiar with conceptual advertising? One Show books? Hey Whipple, Squeeze This?

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏

I’ve been helping the creatives deliver great work. But it seems like the creative leads aren’t trained in bringing planners in as an asset to achieve direction and strengthen ideas. What can i do?

How do you judge if a headline is good or not? When I look at lines, I see an idea there but it’s petty straight forward, so I suggest to the writer to add a twist to it. Cont...

Should I feel bad about getting a new job because I'll be leaving my CW behind? We both hate our agency and were making plans to leave anyway.

How do you deal with a management that doesn't seem to have a concrete process in doing campaigns? (Continued)

I always wondered what kind of side jobs that copywriter could do?
I barely get an offer and when i do, i felt bad for charging it much so i always go with “pay as you wish”

I’m really down in the dumps lately about how god-awful my CD is. Can you please share about the best CDs you’ve had and what made them great? Would love to know there’s hope our there.

Best experiential/activation agency?

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

As a Creative, do you prefer voice or video for initial project discussions with vendors? How do you feel about follow-up video conferences to go through vendor treatments?

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo? For context, this writer I work with conceptualizes by himself, emails the Account team, gives deep input, and makes decisions for us without consulting with me (his “partner”) most of the time. While I appreciate his proactiveness, I feel excluded, limited, and without much room to co-lead the work with him. I don’t know how to bring this up without sounding like I’m b*tching about it.

Does anyone have a Getty easy access account they can share we me?

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

Anyone know the salary range for an Art Director in LA?

Who hates being micromanaged by your boss? I had to deal with a boss who had to be involved with every little thing and it drove me nuts, and made me feel like she didn’t trust me.
