Quiet bowl! Even with these waves of layoffs and AI being introduced? Anyone else here?

I just got laid off — anyone else get hit this round? ☹️

Still in a pandemic. Hiring freezes are still in place. Seeing a lot of local businesses go under. Do you think things will turn around in September or get worse? Do you think there will be more layoffs or terms “due to performance” and more businesses lost?

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

Dad got laid off. Drinking got worse. Attempted assault on sis and mom. Had to put up in hotel. No clue on next steps (legal and personal). Project is complete shit show and SM is not getting it. Idk man...

What is EY’s reputation like in Charlotte and the Carolinas region? I hear they had layoffs around a year ago. Is all of this sorted out?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about? Many seem to still be having a hiring push but with the button falling (IMO this is still just start we have a long way to go to bottom out) will that halt and layoffs ensue? And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

Anyone have insight to what the plan is at UpStart for example?

Does anybody work for Evolent / New Century Health? How is the culture? Any known layoffs?

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you

So what’s happening in the local shops? Layoffs? Hiring freezes?

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

Hi Fishes,

One more scenario when dealing with counter offer with holding offer for X.

Two company A&B gave more or less package X+3 Lakh.

Can we still negotiate with company A Or B to get top up from X+3 to make a clear decision to choose over one other.

Is this recommended approach?
Or
how do tackle this situation?

Pour in your ideas which will help all.

Thanks,

OFFICIAL "BULLSHIT JOBS" DISCUSSION THREAD

Do you use Working Not Working? Do you use another freelancing site? What do you like about it? What else do you wish it afforded you?

What if a guild operated a network like that, of talent & gigs?

It's been a busy couple of weeks at my workplace. Have you all been keeping your heads above water?

When they lay people off, they often keep things quiet because it will "effect morale". But the firing itself is what effects morale. Being secretive about it undermines respect and harms morale more.

Uber just unionized. If they can, why can’t we?!

Imagine being the first agency to unionize. Imagine the press. For an industry that is so fueled by media attention, it would be a company's dream... wouldn't it?

Thanks for starting this bowl and looking forward to sharing it with others and bringing in resources as needed for topics and discussions that are so very needed in our industry.

Rumors that an NYC-based PR company may be in the midst of organizing. They'd be the first in our industry, but still no advertising agencies yet!

One of the major challenges I've encountered in starting a union in my workplace is that people who are woke enough to know we need one are also the ones smart enough to jump ship.

Anyone at my company interested in Marxism ?
