Unemployment question: I worked as a permalance 1099 employee at the same agency since Jan 2020 but just got laid off in Oct. Now I’m finishing up a 3 week gig as a W2 contract employee. Am I eligible to file for unemployment in CA? Can’t find the answer online or reach anyone on the phone.

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

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

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.

Did someone get fired in the new manager training in Orlando after getting drunk?

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

Anybody who got laid off in the current wave and looking for a referral in Zalando in Germany, feel free to DM me. Happy to help.

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

Hello, I was laid off last Friday as a Technical Program Manager. Any advice on what to do or if you know anyone hiring Program Managers / Sr. Program Managers / Technical Program Managers?

I work cross-functionally with 10+ teams in the org mainly supporting Product & Engineering to create and launch product features.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Employment-at-will. Is that the norm in a consulting contract (I’m moving from Europe)? Can I / should I negotiate the notice period on their side or eventually the size of an eventual lay-off?

Got laid off on Friday. Three days and I'm already bored out of my mind. Besides Jim, what are people doing to pass the time in between job hunting?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

I’m 1 year post-MBA and was just let go despite top performance results—firm is not acknowledging COVID layoffs, though. Given 5+ YOE w/background in tech sales could BizOps be a fit? TIA!

Do we really have lay offs happening in zs ?

Recently freed from the consulting game (starting end of next week) with a great severance and new energy around RE. Closed our first REPE fund last year as well as a sizeable personal portfolio in a large midwestern city, all on the side.
If you’re accredited and interested in putting some $ to work in this super low yield environment, ping me! Ramping up the next fund soon.

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

How does your company manage (track) all of the documents related to a merger you are working on? Are you using a matter management software, a spreadsheet, shared file, etc? Keeping up with the moving pieces is killing me with just a spreadsheet.

Any discounts for acquarium of the pacific that anybody knows of?

I feel silly asking this question: is there a meaningful difference in pay progression or exits between M, B, and B? Just signed with one and it seems my inferiority complex has evolved

Definitely getting sick. Picking up a cough and everything hurts. Good thing my team has a big deliverable tomorrow.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Relatively new position at a coveted firm as their Marketing and BD manager. Have suffered burnout and depressive episodes previously: can feel the symptoms raising it’s head. Most importantly, struggling to tolerate how directors speak to me, whereas previously I wouldn’t take it personally and get on with it. Actively looking for a different position as I’ve come to discover this company exploits EME employees, but want to attempt to end on a “high note”.

Having a moment and wanted to make a post. I lost a special family member suddenly in April 2020. And then another July 2020. And then the most influential person in my life in February 2021. And then another big loss in April 2022. I’m still grieving. Every single day. Some days are better than others. I’ve had heightened anxiety and depression with it. My heart hurts all of the time. I miss them all so much. Some days just seem to be better than others.

How many times a week do you ask yourself why you’re so terrible at advertising and why is it 1 billion?

I was furloughed yet it doesn’t start until Friday. Per the VPs, this week we have to “transfer our knowledge” to our bosses. Bosses who haven’t been on these projects. Any advice?

Can we please be done with vertical video? It’s completely opposite the human field of view, looks horrible, no camera other than a cell phone shoots it. Seriously dreading IGTV.

Anyone have insider info on what adam&eveDDB, Mother London, and Uncommon look for in planners? Are they looking for awards? Thought leadership? Looking to make a move and want to take a shot at those 3!

Retail, Social, Pharma. Fuck, Marry, Kill....

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Romper? I barely know her!

Mute button horror stories.

How many agencies that have spent the last year talking about Black Lives Matter/equality/diversity and then don’t do a very simple thing like closing in recognition of MLK Day?

I'm panicking because I think I got hired in at a title that's too high for my day to day. I Am relatively new and I got hired to work on a speciality practice that required some unique skills.

Overheard: *dials frantically* "Hi. The holiday party was moved the the 7th so we're gonna need to move that Axe Throwing event. Yeah. Bye. "

What's your policy on 'cold-call' messages from hopefuls asking for tips, advice, help? 😇 or 😈

Are there any amazing creative directors in Minneapolis? I need someone I can believe in if I'm gonna move there.

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.

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

If you're in need of a junior writer with cojones hit me up!

Managers - do any of you have the ability to check in on your direct reports’ webcams without them knowing to make sure they’re working? The green light next to the camera keeps lighting up on my company computer and I’m getting paranoid haha

Hi all, I was curious about companies that have their own in-house advertising. I’m in digital media, specifically, SEM and potentially looking to leave the agency side. Primarily due to low pay, and management issues. Given this, any company recs that have a solid foundation with digital media? Any advice from people who’ve been on both the agency and branded side?
