Looking at some of the people laid off from Airbnb and other tech firms is heart wrenching! Lots of product managers seems to laid off recently. This girl had a perfect resume and was laid off, no ones immune

Hi, what is the hire and fire policy in BAContinuum. Are they laying off people or did in the past?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I always feel like I’m one mistake away from getting fired 😵

Anyone else hear that post-CRT partners will get fired this year in commercial advisory? How the hell does a partner get fired....

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

any telltale signs of layoffs in tiger?

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

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.

Like at this point just fire me idk what kool aid some of you are drinking

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

TFW you interview for the same gig as your coworker and you are more qualified (you gave them advice) and they say you were great, but they get the gig. Am I wrong to think what I’m thinking? 🤔

I bought a house in the suburbs of Chicago at the top of the market. I ended up moving out of state in 2017 and short-selling. I am now interviewing for a VP Accounting role with the mortgage company that got shafted by the short sale. If I get the job offer, can they/will they see this on my credit report? Can they pull the offer due to this? Should I tell them before we advance further?
