Thoughts on posting promotion updates on LinkedIn during this time? Being mindful of mass layoffs and the unemployment rate, do you think those who earn promotions should postpone posting the update?

I am considering coming into an Analyst role at A&C GPS. I have 1+ years relevant consulting experience and was promoted to Senior Analyst at Accenture. Will this be considered for promotion to consultant at Deloitte a year after start?
If I need to wait two years to make consultant at D I would just stay at Accenture and apply to a consultant role once I qualify.

If some was promoted via requisition then how many months later can he/she get the next promotion?

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Hearing of layoffs with some Chicago agencies. MSL...Porter...Ketchum...others? Sign of bad economy coming? Hate to sound skittish, but I lived through 2008

Deloitte 🌈🐠 - raise your hand if you are going to DU this week!

I was promoted to manager in July 2020 (3,5 yr of experience). Currently preparing for YE but honestly, I couldn’t care less - what motivates one to push for SM promotion? Not my case atm, but wanted to hear what motivates ppl to keep going as I don’t feel like it’s worth it.

I’ve got 8 years experience, work at a small, hot creative agency in NYC and will be promoted to CD soon. I’m not irreplaceable since no one truly is, but I’m a high value employee responsible for a good proportion of the agency’s marquee creative work and some important new business wins. I’m at $165k now, what should I ask for with my promotion?

Do I go for a promotion even though I’m being told it isn’t a home run? Is there a backlash/ detriment to declaring for one and not receiving? Would I be wasting folk’s time? This is my first run at a promotion outside the Army.

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? 😞

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort. I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

My employer is going on a hiring blitz and is offering new hires of the same position a higher salary than I currently have, is this normal or should I demand a raise?

How to exit with a 70% raise with 2 years consulting exp and 2 years industry exp?

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.

I am actively looking for a change from Academia researcher to industry. I get job interviews in a big company. It has been in the 4 rounds for technical interviews talking to hiring manager, her peer, her boss. Yesterday was the 5th round talking to the HR director. I thought it was to negotiate salary. But it was just an conversation talking about who am I, career goals, questions etc. What is the point of this conversation? Will this impact the overall result? Anyone experienced this?

If you had to describe your dating life in one word, what would it be?

I’m a new grad hire (7 months) in the OCM consulting space. I’m passionate about change management and communication strategy. I've been reading, googling, and perusing anything I can get my hands on about OCM, including old OCM deliverables and our current methodology. My People Manager told me that OCM is a journey when it comes to understanding it and that a lot of that knowledge is gained through just experience. Does anyone have any tips they’ve gained in their OCM journey to share?

YOE: 11.5 Tech: QA Automation with Selenium-Java, BDD, API automation, Mobile Automation - Perfecto cloud, Appium. All the 11 years I am with automation only. Is it possible for me to learn new technology and switch. Recently acquired AWS cloud practitioner certification which is of no use to me now as they are asking for exp. I wanted to move to devops role. But without experience no one is giving opportunity and they are considering my profile as QA only 😒

Posting again for some fresh looks - looking for a midlevel or senior AD/designer content creator to join to ranks of a kickass Atlanta agency with a name you’ll recognize. No remote at this time. DM me books if you’re interested. Super good opportunity and I don’t say that often.

Gratitude thread: what are the top three to five things you’re grateful for as you reflect on the last two weeks?

What do people think of the British Royal Family? For those of us who grew up without ridiculous monarchies why do have to keep hearing about them in the news?

Very worried Trump might start another war with an irrelevant small country just to distract people from the fact that he is so incompetent. Dying in the hand of fellow human is worse than virus to me

I have a yahoo email address. Does having one appear to be outdated compared to google?

Made a mistake: I bought a watch instead of an iPad for grad school use.

Should you thank your manager for your raise? Seems like a strange thing to do but also do see the appropriateness of it all. Just unsure

Anyone have a good office chair recommendation? Really not trying to spend more than $150 but willing to go to $200 if there is a really good recommendation.

Thanks!

Found a good looking Herman Miller Aeron, used on CL. Worth the 400 bucks? Do not have a proper office chair at the moment

Do you guys judge everyone you meet based on their backgrounds (e.g. pedigree & work experience)?



I find literally everybody I meet, I look up their backgrounds and judge them / compare myself. I think this is a problem.

My SO and I are touring a home tomorrow that we’re considering purchasing. With COVID restrictions + high interest in the home, we only have a 15 minute time slot to tour it. Suggestions on what things we must check out given the time constraint? We’re first time home buyers, so want to make sure we don’t miss anything critical during our tour

I have a phone screen with American Express. Does anyone know how many days of PTO is allotted?

I’m having an existential crisis.

Do you think modern life is possible without the use of some form of stimulants like alcohol, Xanax, Adderral, marijuana, etc?

Day to day life has become soul crushing for me in some ways and when I look around and wonder how everyone else is doing it it just looks like it’s mostly just substance abuse.

Any millennials here worried about their parents retirement? My parents are set financially but I’m worried about their lack of hobbies and social life. They watch a lot of news, politics, stock market, and sports. However not much more than that. I feel I’d be fine with that if they were in their 80s or older but they’re early 60s. Anyone succeed in getting their parents to an activity filled retirement?

First toilet paper, now it’s flour, yeast and baking products. Why is instant yeast 10x more expensive on amazon?! Is everyone really trying their hand at baking now? What happened to rice and pasta?
