Severance question. I was laid off from my last company and luckily found something a week after being let go. My old company found out I got a new job from my LinkedIn and now wants to take my severance away "because I don't need it anymore and it's not a good look for the company paying someone severence when they are employed somewhere else." This is after the Severence Plan Agreement was signed but before it has been paid out. Is this a normal practice this companies and laying people off?

Debating betwn staying on with current team after negotiating a 30% increase or accepting PT role, with this negotiated increase the hourly pay is $1 different. (Prior to this I was making nearly $11 less/hour from PT role) PT role was 20 hours/week and emailed ask if I’d be open to 30 which is more appealing. 7.5 YOE in current role, worried about losing seniority in economic climate and risk to layoffs in PT role but being a parent I have been seeking more time not working too. Advice welcome

I just got laid off about a month ago. It was the biggest blessing because the place was severely dysfunctional. I’ve been in tech for over 12 years and I was told how standard practices were wrong by my colleagues. I’ve been interviewing like crazy and I am getting traction with all of the FAANG companies. These are my dream jobs and I feel like I am getting close to receiving offers soon. They say success comes to those who have something to prove, and I have a LOT to prove to the haters!!

Layoffs at AVAAP?

Does any team is facing layoffs problem in American Express. Really a horrible rumors I heard.

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? Heard someone getting laid off because of submitting wack expenses.

I heard Moroch is starting layoffs beginning 9/1

Laid off two weeks ago. Doing some freelance, interviewing a lot but sort of losing my mind. What have you done to keep yourself sane in times of under employment?

Hey all - I wanted to ask if anyone has ever felt that things were not going to work out. I was a consultant for a T3 consulting firm and, despite excellent reviews was laid off without warning. I went to a startup like company in Texas and was under an abusive boss where I worked over 85+ hours and could not afford an apartment. I left to keep my sanity. I am told that I am highly skilled and have the capacity to be one of the best but I keep failing. I am 26 and my career feels like purgatory.

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

Financing question - If you get laid off or have a gap in employment, does your 2 year proof of income “clock” (for lack of a better term), restart? Basically asking if you need to have 2 yrs of consecutive W2 income to great loan terms? For context, I was approved for great terms earlier this year but didn’t go thru with a purchase

I got laid off as a AE, do you think I would be happy as a media planner? Before AE I assisted in media buying. My passion is client relations hence the AE path

Hard to digest: during 2000-2001 .com bubble, overall there were 107K layoffs (yes, then the tech staff was less compared to today). But in just Q4 2022, there have been 120K lay offs so far and looks like it’s just the beginning.

Layoffs on layoffs these days. How do you think the job market will fare (NYC especially) the rest of 2018 and beyond?

WFH still unclear and layoffs last week, but sure, send an email about executive level promotions. An A/S person who lost every acct they had in the 8y I’ve been there.

I recently got laid off and am really grateful to have received a job offer pretty quickly. It’s for an outsourced HR company where I would be HR/Payroll Manager for about 10 small to mid-size clients. Curious people’s thoughts on if this would be a step back career wise? I worry not working for a dedicated company could hurt my resume. My job titles before this were HR Business Partner, Recruiting Operations Lead and HR Specialist.

Any updates on next round of layoffs

7-8 years experience. Mid-level. New-ish to freelance after being laid off because of covid. What should I charge freelance hourly? Daily rate? Thank you.

He fired Vindman’s twin brother too. What a petty, small man this President* has turned out to be. Thank you GOP for showing your true colors in electing this dotard into office.

Hi guys, i wil be joining fractal soon. I wanted to know how the project alignment happens? And what if my skills dont match the requirements coming in. In that case will i be laid off? Please let me know abt this. And in which tech stack more projects are present.

So I have an Associates in CS from the now defunct ITT Tech (I was young and dumb fresh out of high school when I enrolled) and now I'm at the point that I want to earn my bachelor's. But of course enrolling back at my previous school is no longer an option. So I'm stuck on either seeing if my transcript will be accepted at a Devry type for-profit, or starting over entirely. I'm just trying to get some thoughts on what others would do in this type of situation.

I start at EY in 2 weeks, any really cool benefits I should be aware of? I know the wellness subsidy, but any other tips and tricks would be great!

Any advice for graduating students wanting to make the move into Tech Consulting? So far I’m compiling a list of advice from our Alumni who have done it and wanted to branch out for more feedback. Thanks :)

Hi.
Is it mandatory hybrid for new recruits? No more remote?

Does this sound like an offer email? I had a final interview last week and reached out yesterday evening to let them know I received another offer but they were my first choice. “Hope you are well. Just wanted to kindly follow up – please let me know if you have availability this week to briefly connect. Just wanted to provide feedback/update on next steps.”

Hi everyone! I’m in the market for a fully remote or hybrid HR coordinator/Specialist or People Operations Coordinator position, ideally with a big company. I’m currently in grad school obtaining my Masters in HRM, planning to take the SHRM within a year.

Currently taking HR certification courses with Drexel and was planning to also do the pHR certification, but because I don’t have a degree in HR and I haven’t “formally” been working in HR, I don’t qualify, any suggestions on certifications that can help me develop my current office manager position into full HR?

I found a new job (huzzah!) and turned in my 2 weeks notice yesterday. But I started feeling crummy last night and went to the doctor for a COVID test today. Lab results already came back positive. So now I feel super guilty about basically calling in sick to my last two weeks of work...should I try and push out my start date to help out current employer? Feel like current supervisor is going to throw a hissy fit.

Getting frustrated that I can't even land a job interview. I'm a recruiter with 5 years of experience in agency looking for a remote opportunity in Europe... I'm kinda tired of doing only recruitment... I want to find an alternative where I can keep doing recruitment but also assume other responsibilities in HR :(

I know titles are an issue in all industries... but can anyone help me understand the difference between the functions of HR Administrator, HR Coordinator, and HR Assistant?

Advice for transitioning from Talent COE to HRBP?

I have spent my career in Talent COE (L&D, Culture, Change Management) and I am looking for HR business partner experience. I have a few Informationals lined up with HRBP hiring managers at my current org. What are good questions to ask? Any tips to demonstrate that I am ready/can transition into an HRBP role? I’ve been a manger since 2016, so preference is for at least a lateral move.
