more layoffs at CPB today...

If you were an Uber employee that got laid off, how have you been faring?

Those let go by Y&R/VMLY&R - did you get severance and how many months?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Thoughts on posting promotion updates on LinkedIn during this time? Being mindful of mass layoffs and the unemployment rate, do you think those who earn promotions should postpone posting the update?

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

Which agencies are going through layoffs

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

Know this may be a long shot in terms of actual responses but:
@PPMDs, what are your thoughts on the current/impending COVID specific layoffs at your firm?

E.G. Glad for the opportunity to reduce the headcount of mid performing SMs with little/no chance of making PPMD? Sad to see a firm you’re a part of undergo such unforeseen circumstances?

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

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

History of BCG layoffs anyone?

Can Deloitters being laid off file for stuff like unemployment & Obamacare during their new job search?

What are everyone's thoughts on resume services/coaching? I am a leader/exec that was laid off (first time) and have spent over 15 years in various roles such SVP Operations, Senior Director Product, VP Solutions, etc. at different companies.

I am struggling with putting my experience/qualifications on paper...

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

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

If I just chill on the bench for long will I still only get fired at the end of the year?

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. 😞

At what point in my career as a receptionist should I consider asking for a raise? After one year? After five?

I am a Java techie with 12+yrs of experience. Looking for Salesforce job.. need inputs on what all technology is needed for preparation.

Anyone from Nationwide? I’d like to hear feedback from current and old employees about the work environment, salary (G3), development, diversity etc. I completed an interview for Claims Manager position.

Is 10000 RM per month is good pay for KL, Malaysia?

Which company to choose FIS or Amdocs? In term of learning opportunities and employees benefit.

Is it possible to transition from Sales Manager to consulting. Currently making around 100k per year and would like to make a move and potentially make 20-30% more. For context, I have been at my current organization for 4 years and have grown my teams annual revenue from 1,000,000 to over 4,000,000 primarily through improving the culture, processes, and quality

What are some questions you always ask during your interview? I feel like I need to be asking more.

Someone works at or with PwC Experience Center?

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with. Now, a friend and I both traveled US to Europe in the last week, different routes, in Econ/Biz. For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

Can I file AR-11 myself or this has to be done by lawyer?

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that I’m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I can’t gauge it anymore? And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.

Hi I am currently working with TCS and very soon I will be on bench as my current project has expired. Hence, looking for an opportunity outside for better prospects. Please let me know if any.

Tonight is hard because tomorrow I will be attending a funeral for a former student. He died by suicide.

5 years ago I read him Magic Treehouse books.

I remember how excited he was to meet his behavior goal for the first time.

I was hoping to see him in 2 years at the HS.

PwC 🐠 - any idea of who an experienced hire should contact if they want to join Forensic Advisory?

Can community managers call themselves copywriters?

Is it okay to call a sick day as freelancers?

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

New Cheerios work is 🔥

Today is Women's Day and 'A Day Without a Woman,' -- are you skipping work and wearing red?

Coworker (we’re the same level) has a tendency to use “I” statements and then proceeds to present the entire deck that we both contributed to equally…. So annoyed. How to get across to our bosses that I worked on it too?

Any other integrated agencies working in Agile across the full agency? Trying to understand how this plays out as we roll it out.

In your review, do you actually list a particular % increase in salary you expect?

So WFH is a thing now. I spent the last 4 years building my copywriter career in nyc, got some cool shit in my portfolio. But let’s say I wanna move back home, can I still get freelance/full time gigs from nyc while I live back home?

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

Pretty over agency life, best brands to go client-side?

Those let go by Y&R/VMLY&R - did you get severance and how many months?

How long did you stay at your first job?

Can anyone share what it's like working at Anomaly? 🤔
