Today I got an offer I couldn’t refuse: a laid-off notification.

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

I keep a few tote bags and plastic grocery bags in a drawer at me desk in case I ever abruptly quit on the spot or get fired. Anyone else?

Hey Accenture Team!
I’m a L9 consultant based out of San Francisco, California who was impacted by recent lay off at Accenture. I wanted to understand as per WARN Act California employees are to be given at least 60 days notice, however I was only given 3 weeks notice. Can I challenge this?

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

i am incredibly livid at the way my firm laid me off, claiming it was performance based when i know it was bc of some unrelated conversation about wanting to broaden my professional bandwidth. I had great reviews.. and those whose performances were below mine, have been promoted. I’ve had to hold my tongue, swallow my pride during my final call and play dumb even though i wanted to call them out on their bs. Trying to get over this but i hate feeling powerless and undermined

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

hearing there was massive layoffs at concentric today. in the dozens. can someone confirm or refute?

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?

I was just laid off from a fintech startup after 4.5 months as their first ever IP attorney. Anyone have any leads on other IP roles. I’m soft IP/marketing focused but also have patent experience.

Is publisis sapient a good company to join.. Coming across a lot of layoff news on LinkedIn. I have an offer from sapient (YOE 4.2). Shall I join ??

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

Does ey gds lay off?

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Trying to get a 45 y/o sibling in to consulting (was an entrepreneur prior in the restaurant industry). No college degree but willing to bust his but to learn. Books/online courses recommended pls

Besides salary is there any additional bonuses, stock options, etc to expect as you advance to SVP and EVP?

Hi Fishes,

I have applied to one of the roles about 10 days back and I didn't recieve any calls regarding my screening or interview.

Can someone tell me how many days does it take for the initial screening to happen after applying.

Also, how much time will it take for all the process to happen ( screening + interview + final discussion).

Thanks in advance

I cannot say we have very good relationship, just more like a normal co-worker relationship, get a cups of coffee together something like that

Is it safe to join @cvent during this recession time as frontend software Engineer 2.
React develper with 4 yr exp.

@Cvent

Why do companies do this? I interviewed with a company. They loved my work and told me that I’m going to start the following week. They made me sign all of the onboarding papers and poof ghosted me! 🤦‍♀️ I feel so down right now! And I feel like I won’t be able to ever land a job!

This in their 30's, how much money do you have saved? Did you start your own family? What's your age, and do you own or rent your place? Btw I'm in my mid 20s.

Fish who moved to London without a job lined up: did you have any issues clearing customs at Heathrow? Heard they might give you trouble if you don’t have a return ticket. (Cont. in comments.)

How much do senior strategists in LA make? Moving from NY to LA and wondering how much of a hit in pay I’ll take from lower cost of living or whatever recruiters will say

Dear KBS, today we received 17 all agency emails. Yesterday it was 20. Surely upper management has a better way to use their time. Make it stop. Love, KBS

I have an interview at 9am, during a snowstorm. Better get that job.

Serious question - which one lasts longer: real Donald Trump or Marcel?

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

I've written nearly all my friends' Tinder bios. And they're actually getting more matches. Definitely gonna put that shit in my book.

Happy, found out most of my team is unhappy, now I’m unhappy, too.

Kudos to the man on the train next to me who has his ticket around his neck, his glasses in his hand and a full sleeping mask on. 😴

Does anyone know if Marvel and DC have in-house agencies?

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.
