Hey Fishes,
I am suppose to join BNY Pune on grade I very soon. Wanted to check on how is the bank doing in the recession time. Any chances of layoffs predicted? Is the bank suffering any loss?

Travel - didn’t see it unless I missed the thread. What’s the travel % right now for SM/P and does it depend on capability team or same % across the board?

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

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.

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?
Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

Just got laid off today.... anyone hiring account executives? 3 years experience working across integrated campaigns in multiple industries. Hungry and eager to get back into the weeds!!

Is anyone hearing chatter in banks/FIs about recessionary job cuts or hiring freezes yet?

Hi Fishes,
What is the hiring procedure in delta airlines for senior Software Engineer?

I miss Delta. Anyone racking up the MQMs?

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

Hope you’re enjoying good weather. When can I travel across the border for a weekend trip? Do I need to take a PCR test I plan to go to Belgium or Germany?

Ritz Geneva at 50k points for 1 night! Worth it you think?

Hello, I have left consulting career to build a portfolio of careers. I am a founder of Life Startup, we do future workforce and employee wellbeing as well as work with individuals helping them design their next chapter in life. I'm also a yoga teacher and an artist.

I've never been more fulfilled in my life and my purpose is to share this with as many unfulfilled and potentially burnt out consultants and professionals out there.

If you are looking for a change, DM me, I'll be happy to chat!

Thought - In the Georgia runoff elections, the best use of Democrat money would be to run ads which seem to have a conservative bent and play up the election fraud conspiracies, claiming the election system is broken and can’t be trusted. Maybe even offer up a way to grieve their frustrations with the system (that isn’t voting obviously). Would be so effing perfect if Rs lost the senate because trump cast doubt on election integrity.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?
