More layoffs at VaynerMedia this week. I've survived 3 rounds in less than a year.... maybe this time I start looking for another job?

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?

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?

If the layoff is not necessarily to go through performance improvement plan, then is there a standard dashboard look to evaluate ourselves about how close we are at?

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

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.

Laid off by Deloitte. 7 years of experience in strategy and operations consulting. Need help with companies that sponsor

Coworker got fired because they stole my clients! We have a policy stating that the realtor who initiated the contact should be the one closing the deal to give them a fair chance. I feel bad but they should have read the policy...

Curious to know has anyone stumbled upon a bar(cocktails, drinks) that has also nailed social accounts so good so that besides their bar offerings people also cant wait to consume their content?

Anyone using the full limit of Section 80C to invest in NPS?

Has anyone heard about GSAP decision news yet?

Looking at my google photos - they make album categories based on pictures you take (like food, sunsets,beaches). My categories include Beer and Whiteboards...Pretty much sums up consulting.

My contract is close to ending with a verbal offer on table to stay for 30k. I am looking for something more techanical in the engineering field that matched my abilities more. Is it worth the move even if I don't have anything lined up. Personally don't think I can handle job and applying all at same time due to increased anxiety.

Deloitte 🌈🐠 - raise your hand if you are going to DU this week!

I’m unstaffed for the first time this week, which means that no one wants to book me. Not even for BD. I have been crying all day and start having suicidal thoughts again.

Can anyone else not sleep right now? So stressed and exhausted with everything but can’t fall asleep

Hello Fishes,

Currently working as a Business Analyst with PwC. Got a call from Hexaware. Is it worth it shifting from PwC to Hexaware? Any suggestions??

Worked a few years at a small company and wondering what it actually takes to make the big jump to MBB. Anyone willing to connect and share insights?

Does anyone here work fully remotely? If so, how did you find your position, and did you have to sacrifice or compromise on anything - including salary?

Gotta think W&K has to open a Chicago office to service McD’s. What positions do you think they would staff up on?

The feeling when you put on a pair of jeans after two weeks wearing pjs at home....So tight!!!

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

A little humor sprinkled in a resume. Yay? Nay?

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

When do new roles in NY start opening up for the new year? Feel like I'm still seeing the same positions on Linkedin that I saw last year.

Why do people in this industry say "like" so much? It makes it annoying to, like, walk around the building and listen

Thoughts on FCB NY?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Who's got the most fishbowl points?

How many months in is it normal to hate a new job vs you've given it a long enough chance to know it's a wrong fit?

Other good markets that pay well enough to match the income taxes? BF and I just finished our state taxes and that IL tax hike was not cool to our current salaries..

Do you feel it’s appropriate for a non-Latinx/Hispanic Producer to ideate or create a Spanish US/Domestic ad for the Latinx audience?
(ie Spanish spot running on Univison for Walmart) **Not referring to LATAM ads**

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

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

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

Thoughts about Digitas Health?

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

God I love seeing a slate on TV. I keep seeing one for a Cricket wireless ad. It brings me so much joy.

What is with potential employers asking if I have kids? This is the third time this year it’s happened. Doesn’t everyone know it’s illegal, discriminatory, and potentially EXTREMELY insensitive/offensive depending what my experiences may be, which they have no idea?
