Question for leadership/HR.

Companies usually have employee-led initiatives/committees like culture, diversity etc...

Are people who engage in those activities less likely to be on a round of layoffs?

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

Hi all, i was fired today because i said the truth!! Isn’t that interesting?

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

How terrible is workers comp defense? Got laid off and I’m assessing what jobs I want to go after and which ones are backups if I get desperate.

Anyone think Salesforce will have layoffs in the near future?

Layoffs at Integer Denver today? Somebody spill....

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort. I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

I was just laid off due to COVID. Felt invincible when the crisis began but now feel lost as if my career was ripped out with the tide. Slowly gaining motivation to get back on top

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Hey guys! Yesterday the company i worked for laid off the people in our state for economic reasons with no notice. I’m in desperate need of referral in entry level SWE/SD(or similar) positions at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

Hi I got a 4 rating this year, in 2 parameters and in one parameter 3. Any danger of a potential layoff. Am a business analyst as societe Generalle GSC Bangalore

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff. Feeling a bit stale and like the last year has been a tactical grind. I want to brush up on modern thinking for our industry - the latest and greatest marketing books, strategy perspectives, creative self help, etc. to feel more alive as we start 2022.

Comment your favs and THANK YOU in advance!

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.

Apparently some journals can prevent sci-hub from sharing their content now.

Do you know of a sci-hub alternative for free journal articles?

Sacramento Big 4 folks: What is your office culture like? Which is the best Big 4 in town in terms of market power?

What is more fun.
A fast car with a new set of sticky tires, or a sow and light car with spare tires.
The older I get, the more i enjoy lightness and low grip, and the less i enjoy laptimes

You made it! It's Friday and the week is over. Anyone have fun plans for the weekend/halloween?

Hello everyone! I got a screening phone call with HR for a staff accountant role. Any ideas on any questions I can ask that an HR person would know? Thanks!

No meetings set on monday until 1 PM - should I do a 18 round?

Based in the UAE but traveling a lot to KSA. I need more data than my UAE roaming amount. Any recommendation on eSims bundles in KSA with lots of data? (20-30gb)

How do I measure what I'm "worth" in the market? I know YOE play a role, but I don't know how to measure based on perf or whatnot. What makes one person worth more than another for the same role?

Is there a way to gain some modeling skills from FDD? My plan is to exit as FP&A or Corp Dev but I heard they are looking for modeling skills. I know that working I can try to move to IB and then try that route but IB hours seem to be too brutal for me.

Is wipro revoking offers. My joining is in July and i am worried now.

Looking to do a fall shoot for a client before the leaves have changed and fallen. I need prop leaves. Anyone have any ideas about how where to contact for a massive amount of fake fall leaves?

Just completed my last shift in the ICU. I'm glad to be shifting back to the Maternatity ward. It was exhausting, and emotionally draining working with such sick patients. I know the work we did made a big difference, but I'm glad to go back to my favorite role!

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Hi all, NEED REFERRAL in Accenture ⚠️
~ Analyst Roles ~

(Navi Mumbai or Mumbai office, priority in that order)

For more background I'm a Fresher with internship experiences in major startups.
Please help since I've been applying for jobs for over 4 months and no progress yet.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Stop with the unnecessary meetings. PLEASE.

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

Anyone here working at agencies in Dubai, UAE? Would love to connect and ask a few questions

Yo, can we all just chill? About you know, everything?

Best work of 2019 so far?

Why do project managers get off on fire drills? Like literally laugh about it. I find it pretty f’d up since the creatives are the ones actually making the work and having to race to get it done. Also, in the case, the “fire drill” was their fault.

Got any jokes?

Anyone on here worked with Edelman? Pros? Cons?

Thoughts on the new Vegas slogan “What happens here, only happens here”?Apparently people hate it. I think it’s a good spin on the classic “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

There’s a potential partner you’ve heard is very talented - but notably mean under stress. Worth it?

What y'all know about Space150?

Hey guys! Working on an interesting personal project and would like to know who you guys would suggest as having the freshest haircut in the ad game! Their names, portfolio and agency would be great.

What’s the point of creative agency CCO’s? Do they touch any of the work? What do they do that ECDs can’t?

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here
