That’s awful. Out of curiosity, how was he/she stopped? Is it illegal in your state? I know a few people this has happened to in Texas.

Petty. Sorry to hear that.

My boss convinced me to stay after I resigned (it was over a disagreement on how to finish the edit on a campaign). We did it my way, and I went back to work, thinking things were back to normal. A month later, after the project was out the door, he fired me.

Not surprised. I’ve seen it happen before. Never waffle on resignation or even bringing in a counter offer. Once they know one foot is out the door, they have no problems helping the other foot out.

Hi Ladies,

I was impacted by the COVID-19 layoffs a few weeks ago and let go from my job at Deloitte. I have 2 years experience as an IT Auditor with the big 4 and I am in search of a new job. I’m currently residing in Atlanta

Any recommendations on where to apply would be greatly appreciated.

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze. Does this mean layoffs are coming up? What about the candidates (like myself) who cleared HC and was in negotiating process?

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?
