Looking back, can we now predict layoffs based on staffing assignments? How did the last round impact projects underway? Ie person with a critical role unexpectedly laid off (or maybe MCs were able to know and plan)

The first round was mostly performance based, so the lower performers there were not in any critical role. Some totally fine people also got laid off, but none of the high performers.

Best thing you can do is to try and always be staffed and be valuable to your projects. The firm isn't going to cut people who are bringing positive value. If you are perpetually on the beach it means you are not being requested by M/Ps or MC for projects, and would likely be the first to go.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
