Sorry to hear this, CP+B’ers...have some friends there who are safe for now, is this the last of layoffs there (CO and LA)? http://www.adweek.com/agencyspy/cpb-cuts-3-percent-of-staff-in-boulder-and-l-a-as-part-of-larger-restructuring/143982

I heard UKG has fired many employees this year?
Is it good for job security?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Curious questions! What are the things offered by companies after laying off their employees? Do they pay 3 months severance? Or not?

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about?

And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

I’m so tired from dating and looking for a serious relationship, so i just browsed the seeking arrangement website 😐

Used to think I was independent and stoic enough to not care about dating & relationships, and then I realized it'd be really nice to share my time and energy with someone. Now I'm balding in my late 20s, living alone, and only really get to see my family. Online dating is a wash and feels like an incredible waste of time.

Hopefully lockdown lifts soon enough for me to meet someone before the rest of my hair goes. Baldness will not suit me well.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Hey all, this could be excessive but I actually find the fitness side of things pretty easy, whereas the nutrition side is much more difficult to maintain long term.

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.
