My manager quit and told me over a call on Monday. The next morning, HR reached out—I felt the ground shift. I’d only been there four months, trying so hard to prove myself. I met deadlines, stayed ahead, did everything right. But she never wanted to manage me, never gave me a chance. Said it was easier to do it herself. It hurts. It feels like no matter how hard you try, this industry breaks you down. I’m so tired of pretending it’s not toxic.

So sorry to hear you experienced this! After experiencing a layoff myself, I know how crappy it feels and how easy it is to let it consume your mind but stay strong. I also learned that some doors have to close in order for others to open. It's okay to be bummed out but keep pushing forward. I hope an opportunity arises that can renew your thoughts on the industry.

I am in the same boat with you. Only been with the firm for 5 months and was let go for not meeting their expectation. I was never given any feedbacks nor get any clues on how should I perform better. I didn’t get a chance to know what did I do wrong. It just undermined people’s confidence. Don’t let this setback get you down. Chin-up and you will find a place that values your contribution!

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
