You guys must be new to the working world. Poor performers get the ax, new people are hired, repeat. All this talk that it wasn't low performers but across the board is just folks walking around with blinders on

@EY1 People let go in Boston were actually told that they were let go of because of low sales. Many were offered an opportunity to come back in future. I'd be careful about calling people low performers at a salty point in their lives ...

I say the reason why new hires are and will keep coming in is bcs big D wants to keep a strong relationship and presence on campus... A bit messed up but they're looking at long term branding and reputation

@D14 they do not in fact have to honor those offers. In 2009 there was absolute mayhem on campus when banks pulled offers. It's happened before, it can happen again. #atwillemployment

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

I have a dilemma. I received two different job offers. One from a VERY good consulting firm, the other from a corporate company (pharmaceutical industry).Both in sustainability field, same salary.One 200km from home with possibility to work remotely most of the time (consulting), the other literally 850 meters from my house right now. The corporate company offers 6 months at first with the possibility to get a permanent contract afterwards.The consulting firm proposes a permanent contract. What should I do?

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

I am currently interviewing a few of companies. I want to be able to travel (abroad) and work. Time zone isn't an issue, I can work at the same time zone or ensure significant time overlap.

How would you ask for remote work without setting anyone off?
