Purrformance review

@P1, When you say performance, was there like a specific number below which a decision was made to lay off someone?

Counselor should know about this. Don't think partner will explain the details.

I mean the partners must have given some reason lol. They cannot lay off just someone without providing an explanation.

I'm sure they're gonna say. Bad rating, poor performance. Best of luck!!

"They cannot lay off just someone without providing an explanation" lol you would be surprised. I think they gave every vague answer possible and then after I demanded it in writing and they kept trying to get me to "jump on the phone" with them

What's no naive? They must have mentioned something regardless of whether it's the actual reason or not

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job.

We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
