Tricky feelings: So, I feel bad for all who get laid off when a big famous company has massive cuts. But then I’ve often seen people from those companies, that I’ve reached out to on LinkedIn ages ago, when I needed work, with no reply, no link accept, (some checking out my profile and then ignoring) suddenly want to connect once they’re in need of work.

I know agencies across the board did some layoffs right before the holidays, but when do we think hiring will pick up again? Getting to a point where I feel like I need to start thinking about a change.

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

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

Any minority lawyers in here that were blacklisted from big firms for a time gap or after layoff? How did you move forward?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

How has P&T been affected by recessions in the past ? Are internal app teams more safe ? Also how is the severance package calculated.

Just found out I’m getting laid off in two weeks. How do I stay motivated to do work until then?

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Laid off, any tips on how to gain experience/sharpen resume while job searching? I was in a project management support analyst role/ Venture capital sales role. I’m thinking of getting certifications to increase marketability

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

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

Open to any UXR roles. Preferably remote/hybrid . Recently laid off due to corporate restructure. 3-4 YOE.

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Other then acting, can I hear a story about getting into the business because of what you know not who?

26 YO, make make roughly 130k TC and really wanting to get the new 2022 Accord Hybrid Touring trim. Great MPG and reliability. MSRP is just under 40k for the top trim. Good financial move or should I go with a lower trim such as the EXL or Sport which come in around the mid 20k-low 30k area.

Does anyone need a zero trust architecture environment mandated by the federal government. I can help.

Hello Guys

Is it okay to share offer letters that we have with other company recruiters? Aren't offer letters strict and confidential. Can we refuse to show the same or what can we do in these situations

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

Whenever anyone asks how work is going I always answer with “it’s funding my lifestyle” and they look shocked. Do you guys actually have a dream job? I can’t imagine loving work everyday for the rest of my life.

How long it take for L1 round in Capgemini.

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

I know agencies across the board did some layoffs right before the holidays, but when do we think hiring will pick up again? Getting to a point where I feel like I need to start thinking about a change.

Surprise and delight. I can’t help but not feel the sexual undertones when I read or say it.

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

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

Empty calendar. Hungover. Chick-fil-A breakfast. Fuck yeah, Friday.

Been thrust into being a hyper-consumer recently. Holy shit, every "disruptive" store is the same (Casper, joybird, etc etc). This is a boring age of design and iconography.
