Snapchat CEO, Evan Speigal, just announced a layoff of 20% of workers across the board.

Good luck to those might be affected.

Snap still exists? Haven't heard a word about them in years or even seen anyone use the app

I recently spent a few hours around 3 undergrad students. All of them used it more than 10 times an hour or so. It was by far their most used app.

I feel like they started trying to do a lot of things that maybe they shouldn't have. Maybe all Snap is is an image texting app and that's okay.

Well, technically, if the additional lines of business are failures and will never be profitable then why should they remain open?

He pays his employees really well so I wouldn't call him a scrooge

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

AITA. I was hired in 2019 by an individual to handle her wrongful termination case on an hourly fee basis. I usually work on contingency but this client made about 35k/yr and found a new job for less money right after she was fired. After paying around 17k in attorney’s fees she runs out of money and pays me 500 every few months but even that eventually stops. We end up winning a jury trial and appeal. My fees are more than the judgement. AITA for taking the full judgement to cover my fees?

What the current climate for jobs is, the best strategies to apply, and the best resources or tools that might help.

I was very successful as an internaional sales exec at a startup for 15 years before we were bought by a large publicly traded company. The culture shift was dramatic, as was the way that I was expected to work. I was laid off a tortuous 3 years after the buyout.

While I was in some ways relieved (put me out of my misery!) I spiralled pretty hard and after a while started working PT jobs, gig type stuff, etc. while I figured things out, and healed from burnout.

Brand Strategy/Planning roles aren't typical in PR. So every new Account hire arrives with no experience working with a Strategist. I'm tired of explaining/showing my role adds necessary value.
