People always say sue the company or owner. Is it that easy to sue someone? Especially around employment when people are getting laid off due to Covid. I think Deloitte or any big consulting firm it’s not easy to sue them, they are well protected

Throwing this out there. My company was recently acquired and I was laid off yesterday. I’m currently 6m pregnant so looking for a company that isn’t going to have a problem with my giving birth in 3m (looking for a miracle). 13 YOE in Marketing (Brand, Digital, Product, Ops). You name it, I’ve probably done it. Team management exp but not required in next role. Just looking for 100% remote, flexibility, and company that puts families first and won’t give me a hard time about doctor appts 🙏🏻

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. 😞

Any creatives impacted by Forsman Bodenfors layoffs? That agency does beautiful, powerful work.

Does Accenture strategy (Capability network) India lay off folks every year ?

How much are other Mortgage Loan Processors making right now? I know times are tough and layoffs are abundunt. I gotta know where I stand before venturing out. Im currently making about $5,000/mo doing about 10 files.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

Have been at my agency for about 2.5 years and have only been able to get one raise because of Covid and raise freezes… what percentage increase is a good benchmark to ask for, knowing they likely won’t meet my initial ask (because, advertising 😏)

I know agencies across the board did some layoffs right before the holidays, but when do we think hiring will pick up again? Getting to a point where I feel like I need to start thinking about a change.

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

obligatory post: how will COVID impact human capital? The types of work we do, factors in making a healthy organization, etc.

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

Wondering if anyone has had issues with TCG/Robert Half? I was promised to be converted to full time when accepting then they just ghosted the situ. (All this is pre COVID-19 just for reference)

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

History of BCG layoffs anyone?

This concept fascinates me & since I saw it on Reddit, I wanted to bring it here. Tell me what your experience has been like :)

How do you go about your LinkedIn profile after having gotten (or in the works of getting) job2? Do you add an end date to your current job?… do you deactivate your LinkedIn? 😅… how do y’all go about it?

Current Strategy Consultant trying to find a 2nd remote job. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a 2nd job that is remote but not overbearing?

Best books you read this year that aren’t about sales, marketing or prospecting?

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

NYC 🐠 Anyone try the dating app MOTTO? Any good?

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

How much is the fixed base and CTC range for a newly promoted M1?

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.

What are the typical working hours for back office staffs? 9-5 pm or 8-5?

What is the best way to study for a PHR?

What is the general consensus on online I/O psychology programs? I’m looking to pivot into HC consulting and am strongly considering USC’s online MAPP or Harvard Extension School’s I/O Psychology graduate program.

Might be a silly question, but bare with me. How does one break into Org Dev? Currently a Sr Recruiter, very interested in exploring opportunities

Curious, I'm a bilingual Health Information Specialist and work exclusively from home. Im a medical assistant and front office specialist. I'm making $17.50/hr. I realize there isn't many incentives in my company and I'm starting to wonder if I'm better off somewhere else. Can anyone with a similar position share their salary? TIA

Did EY get rid of bravo awards?

Currently I’m a CPA at a small firm in AZ, and I want to move to Vegas by the end of May. As such, I have 2 questions:

1. How long will it take me to find a job in LV?
2. When should I start looking?

Just realized I carried more than 20 vacation days over to VY2019. Days, not hours. Whoops.

I have been in industry for 1 yr after 5 yrs in public. I miss some coworkers and clients but overall this is much better. I make more money working far less hours. If I don’t move up I’ll job hop.

I have been tagged for this project that doesn’t start until June 10th. My utilization is going to drop significantly but at the same time the deployment team cannot present me elsewhere. Ugh!

Insights into the best consulting firms for public service/ nonprofit work?

Has anyone taken one of those online executive courses, like the Harvard Extension School offers? Looking to use my $5k of tuition reimbursement and already have an MBA. Worth it? Best programs?

Last flight of the year ... from a tiny 5 gate airport with one bar. I ask if they have any scotch. Bartender: I don’t know .. haven’t had anyone ask for scotch in months. I admit defeat. Just water.

Rolling off a project always reminds me of the tagline from Drive: "There are no clean getaways."

Anyone been to the Harvard Extension School - Consultant’s Toolkit program? Any insights to share?

Any book recommendations for someone looking to get into a Product Owner / Manager role?

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

Having a bad morning so I got a cold brew before going to client site..... then I dropped it.... everywhere.

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

With Spring Break among us, amateur hour returns at the airports. And Summer is just around the corner. Happy fly day!

Does anybody have good electric standing desk recommendations? Ideally in the $200-300 range.

Favorite statistical modeling technique to use? ANN, SVM, LR, PCA, etc. And any specific reasons? Industry, ease, interpretability, etc.

Potentially buying house (~ 30 year old ) which has a radon mitigation system put in 2006, the level currently is at 1.6 pci/L. I know EPA recommends below 4, but is this still elevated?

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.

Imagine if consultants had to go through polygraph tests in commercial accounts, what would happen

What’s the best ergonomic mouse y’all recommend? Can you please provide a link? TIA
