That GrouoM townhall this afternoon was…something. Very little information given and I love how they referred to the laid off employees as having “left the business”. No, you fired them. It was like 10 minutes long.

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

I know this doesn’t count as an interview, but overall professional advice needed:
Any tips on asking for better severance pay?

Hello! I was laid off from Better Mortgage on March 8th, 2022. I have a compliance background with one other organization. My role at Better was a End to End Mortgage Coordinator. This role focused on compliance and mortgage management. I'm searching for a compliance analyst or officer role in financial banking. Any leads or referrals will be greatly appreciated. TIA! At this time I am #opentowork

Review coming up. Is now an okay time to ask for a raise? Part of me is nervous if I get a raise I’ll be the first to go if layoffs happen with the way things are going right now

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

I like sci-fi but I could get into a good adventure if consensus is its worthwhile. Not really into nonfiction. Thanks!

Any insight into the Product Development Specialist role at Facebook? My goal is product management and I am currently a strategy consultant with 3 YOE (not technical), but this seems like a possible path toward that goal. The initial total comp brought up was only $110K (base, bonus, stock), which is barely more than I am making now, though they said there was room to negotiate on the stock portion.

Is there a potential hiring freeze at DoorDash?

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

I totally understand the hustle of emailing people you don’t know to create opportunities. I just don’t understand why obscure vendors email creatives rather than production 🤦🏻‍♂️

Can anyone from PMG let me know what the culture is like at that agency and if they recommend someone going there as a manager (Analytics)? Have an offer but as usual the internet reviews are stuff of nightmares but that’s typical of agencies

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

Advice needed!
I have been a strategy and planning associate for a year and a half (first job out of college), I found that I'm not really cut out for this sector of advertising and would like to get more into the creative area. I've applied to countless copywriting jobs but only get rejections. Does anyone have any advice? Are there other areas I should be looking? I'm getting so discouraged at this point so any feedback would be helpful.

If the open office concept is so great for collaboration why does everyone wear gigantic noise cancelling headphones to try to ignore everyone around them?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.
