That time when all your kids are sick, you are in between homes and you get laid off. Should have gone down another road when that black cat crossed my path last month.

Something better will come along for you OP. Everyone I know who left or got laid off is in a way better place. Can help with a referral if needed.

I'm so sorry OP. I was laid off as well and still job searching. but I don't have kids and I'm sure that makes it 10x as tough. Hang in there!

Things will get better! On a similar note, how is everyone's job search coming along? I was laid off too and have been looking around rigorously for approx 1 month now. Some good leads but nothing yet.

Oh no!

Best of luck OP! I know it's not easy at all but take comfort in your family. I was laid off two months ago and will be starting a new job next week. Applied to a ton of places and only heard back from a few but networked pretty crazy for this one company where I'm starting. I'm also a year out of college so not a ton of experiences on my resume but I'm sure OP is in a better position

@ PWC3 how did you go about your networking? I've been using LinkedIn and glassdoor mainly to apply for jobs. And have been talking to staffing agents/ recruiters. I just hope to get something soon :/

I applied to the position and then found people who work there thru LinkedIn and set up a phone call with them and they ended up passing on my resume to their manager. A family friend also just retired from there and knew the head HR guy so that helped as well but during the interview they only knew about me reaching out to someone there on my own

I have a question for my fellow PI paralegals in Texas. TPCIGA requires that we submit all medical bills through the clients insurance before proceeding further. The client in question has Aetna. I sent the bills with a cover letter to Aetna via certified mail. I am having so much trouble getting a status on said claim. Does anyone here have experience with that and can assist me? Any help or guidance is appreciated.

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

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? 😞

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
