Wow. Most of us can’t even get a job that only exists to get fired

Also - none of us have a subscription to BI

Our vesting is quarterly.

Amazon at one point had legit 80% of the cloud market. Inevitably they’d lose market share even if they were growing like crazy.

This exists in consulting firms especially the ones that are growing rapidly

Interesting. I've been in a number of those groups. In both we grew headcount 400% (60 to 255 and 35 to 130) in ~3 years and haven't seen this.

The main problem we had is that we couldn't retain talent and everyone kept leaving for FANG.

My previous CMO was as an executive at Amazon and I can say that I myself was on the receiving end of this culture. I came in, stars in my eyes, created process, procedures, ROI Analysis, 2023 budgets, and when all was finished and I hit my 90 days I was told that the company was not doing as well as expected and I was laid off. Funny how that worked…

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification.

I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

Here's a question, I see that you can apply to jobs with just your resume, and there isn't an opportunity to include a cover letter. This astounds me because that's really where a business can learn your values and what you can offer them. Does anyone recommend a way around this? I thought about uploading a two page resume with the cover letter included. It seems a loss not to include that edge.
