We’ll never be in this together until we realize that layoffs cannot be the normality in this business. Yeah this is a special time. But how come we’ve accepted to have layoffs all the time even when everything was ok?

Since I told my partner that I'm pregnant, his behavior has changed. Could this be a sign that I will soon be fired? I have never received a bad review. My review is average though.

Feeling anxious, that an impending wave of layoffs is coming. As a way to anticipate, would everyone comment if they have been let go or know of them happening somewhere?

Are SAP people being laid off too? Do you know anyone who got laid off?

Agency lost the account I came here to work on. Some ppl got laid off, I was kept on and reassigned bc several ppl vouched for me. I absolutely hate the new account. What’s my next move?

I have an opportunity to go in-house at a huge beauty/fashion brand. I’ve only been in advertising for 3 yrs but am getting sick of it already. Haven’t gotten my promised raise and the current agency is a mess with layoffs/raise freezes plus the horrific hours and not making work I love. Am I too soon to leave advertising? Do I give it another shot? Or is it smart to go in-house because the industry is suffering? This new job offers a title bump, the salary I want, and better hours but also...

I am selected in Lowe's India as an Associate Software Engineer, I am currently serving my notice periodin current organisation. Shall I consider joining lowe's india, considering current layoff and recession going on in market?

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

Has anyone heard of Big 4 TAS layoffs?

Layoffs ke posts dekhke dimag kharab ho raha…I have already resigned and set to join accenture after 2 months. Kuch panga to nai hoga na? Will they revoke my offer due to slowdown/recession?

Are you getting fired if you get an email from leadership about low utilization?

Looking for help in advising my sister who has already "fired." She had a winfall a decade ago, moved abroad, and hasn't worked since. She is burning through cash and has asked me for help with damage control. 100% of her $1m is in non tax advantaged personal investment accounts. She has no earned income. I've convinced her to sell her house, so will be netting $370k I'll need to invest. Any advice on tax tricks or investment vehicles? She's 52.

Which sales role would would YOU rather have? Be honest..

1. 200k working 30-35 hours a week
2. 275k working 40-45 hours a week
3. 400k working 55+ hours a week

Think of these as different roles and how many hours the job takes to be successful in it to make that amount in your W2. Working more will not make you more and working less gets your fired.

Hi all! What are the differences between senior/staff SWE and software architects? Are architects still a thing? I'm causally searching for a new position (my job had a 50% layoff last month and the survivability of the company is sketchy) and I've noticed senior and staff SWE roles sound like they have a lot of architectural designing and leadership responsibilities while not focusing on coding as much. Is this normal? I love mentoring, but I also don't wanna be in meetings all day. 😕

What is next elevator challenge?

I feel like my work place is either discriminating against me or has me on a list to get rid of. At the expense of coming across as a jerk I stand up for myself at work and I'm not afraid of telling my work place no. Which is one reason I feel I'm on a list that my upper management doesn't like. I don't go out of my way to be a jerk but I know my rights as an employee and my work place doesn't like that. They won't let me promote but let people I've trained get promoted.

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event.

CDs, when reviewing a creative deck for the first time from your creatives, let’s say 30 pages long, each with plenty of copy, what is your reaction when you see 2-3 grammar mistakes?

Are your thoughts along the lines of, “this person is an idiot,” or “there is a lot of copy in this deck, so a mistake or two is bound to happen”?
