We just had a “Black Monday” yesterday…. Announced some layoffs. I am telling my team to only “worry about what you can control” and keep your activity high.

HR tech

Not feeling it really, will admit to be fortunate on that as I have no clue what's it like on the other pov

Unemployment is 3.6% and the last jobs report shows hiring is red hot.

The data is so clear that any stories of layoffs are either anecdotal or confirmation bias

Thinking mostly 6 to 9 months from now. Mostly due to fed actions.

Corporate earnings are at an all-time high and hiring is red hot. Consumers have so much money that inflation is exploding

Were you in grade school in 2009 and don’t know what a recession looks like?

Deloitte was just badly burned by laying people off in Covid and having to rehire them all.

I don’t think we’ll be nearly as reactive next time.

I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

looking for advice for my partner who is a data scientist at an ad agency in NYC. He had been working 70+ hours a week on a project that fell apart while he was on vacation due to it being passed to a junior person who didn’t understand it, and he got blamed. Afterward he said he was burnt out to his manager and then was fired a week or so later, even though the project recovered. Is there grounds here for wrongful termination? How does he argue for more severance?

Why is the left acting so insecure? If your candidate is ahead in every poll, why the need to constantly keep mentioning it and berating supporters of the opposition in the same hypocritical approach you accuse them of? Act like you have the lead, right? All I’m seeing right now is just insecurity and fear masked as bullying. Lefties high-fiving each other on the latest anti-Trump meme and hit piece. I think some people just are addicted to TDS. It’s so funny and sad at the same watching this.
