What are some of the best and worst practices you’ve seen with layoffs? Historical or recent.

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

Will there be layoffs at grip/dentsu? just saw that they’re folding the Grip agency brand 👀

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?

Hi Team,

Few days back I had a post stating that I would be joining one of the consultancy by end of this month, my question was will my joining date be impacted due to the current tech layoff. Is there a way that the new employer can monitor the post and take necessary action?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

We have a big project going on and I am the only point person(initiate it, did lot of work, and knows the deets well), seems like my mgr wants to get a headcount. But I want to use this opportunity to get promoted, how can I get this across? Mgr is new(they fired my old mgr), mgr’s mgr is new too(re-org). So not sure if I should/can make a case, or how.

If the layoff is not necessarily to go through performance improvement plan, then is there a standard dashboard look to evaluate ourselves about how close we are at?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Anyone hear talks of layoffs in Advisory? I know my office is laying off Assurance and BTS (Tax) staff but haven't heard much of Advisory yet.

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?

Any news on layoffs/recession in banking industry?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

Layoff going on in Synechron ?

PROPOSAL: Can we start naming names with respects to layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts? Knowledge is power, and the only ones who benefit from vague exchanges of info. are the employers. Thank you!

Hi fishes,
I was wondering if I put down my resignation now. And in case after a few weeks I decide to stay back, can I withdraw my resignation?

Currently I had interview with Capgemini . All rounds were good . I think I have answered all the questions correctly . It seems hiring manager is also interested. Now it has been 4 days , I didn't get any response .
Generally How much time they take . Or should I consider that my application is rejected because of CTC issue.
My Current CTC : 24 LPA
Expacted : 35 LPA [Negotiable]

I am bored out of my ever loving mind. No heavy incentive to look for work just yet due to COVID in my area + I’m not really sure what position to even look for since I don’t want to go back into PA. You can only scroll through social media and news so many hours of the day. I’ve cleaned. I’ve FT dated. I’ve read. And read. And read. I’ve done the self makeover/reflection thing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Any tips, tricks for GMAT and using Magoosh effectively? I’m a month-ish out of test day, and using Magoosh... my practice test says 660 (although I did much higher on GMAT math than Magoosh math).

Has anyone recently signed up to take the gmat online prior to may 20? I’m trying to sign up for a slot in the next week or so, but I keep getting redirected to an error page. Not sure if this means slots arent available anymore

Anyone here from Hudson County NJ and follows politics?
I am NJ-8, and would like to vote for most progressive candidate on the ballot but no candidate except for the corporate shill/ son of corrupt nepo Menendez, has a fully developed site and I just cannot in good conscience vote for him just because he has a D next to him. Just moved to this district 2 months so any guidance appreciated.

Hi Fishes, Recently got offer from Salesforce as an Technical Salesforce Support Engineer. Can you please share what actually it is. I'm from java background YOE 2.

I'm confused which one have to choose one hand I'm holding LTI offer as Java developer.

Herbs. What do you keep inside vs outside and what region are you located in?

Asking for advice- I’ve realized consulting is not the path for me long term and have had plans to quit. I’m currently staffed on a project alone and feel lost as I don’t have much experience in this line of work. Deadline is approaching and I have voiced my concerns to finish in time. Manager is still reviewing my work and the turnaround time to make revisions and finish phase 2 work seems unlikely within a few days. Is it unreasonable to ask for another resource to help finish?

Any idea what will be criteria for PDM to start green card process?

Houston downtown JW vs Westin.. Thoughts?

Does anybody have good electric standing desk recommendations? Ideally in the $200-300 range.

STARTUP FOUNDERS and FAANG: would you rather hire MBB with 3-4 years of exp or Tier 2 with 5-6 years? If you could isolate those variables and everything else held constant.

Anyone has any good corporate codes for Hilton? Downtown Chicago if you need an area specific?

Hilton head or Myrtle Beach for a family of four (2 kids). Is Hilton head worth the premium? We plan on staying there for a month and just wanna be close to a beach. Safety is important.

What books should I read about being a great manager?

I'm trying to buy a bigger than normal whiteboard for my home office: any recommendations?

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Got a call from PepsiCo. Any idea what the company culture is like? Been thinking of moving to industry.

Any suggestions for anger management books?

Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

Hey all, can you pls recommend resources to get up to speed on Fraud and Risk management for Payments in fintech? Books /sites? I’m not in consulting anymore so no access to internal decks. Thanks!

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

Planet Fitness is literally the worst gym, and if that stupid Lunk alarm goes off at 6:15am, I'm gonna rip it down with my bare hands and grunt the whole time I'm doing it.

90% utilization, great snapshots BUT no relationships with the partners in my practice + currently on beach. Everyone I've worked with is shocked. Was told there were HC quotas. Not meritocratic.

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

Woke up to bug bite at a Sheraton on my Birthday.. #GreatStart🙄😪
