You could start assaulting women around the agency and you'll be out on your ass in 17 years flat.

I thought I was getting laid off today and my only thought was “holy shit....this is about to happen! My prayers have been answered”
....but then my dick boss told me to work harder (which I’m still not going to do)

You can tell them what you really think of them.

I was recently laid off as part of a pretty significant agency-wide cut. My (now former) agency is run by misogynistic, unaware, boys club fools. This shop is a parody for absolutely all things wrong and bad about this industry. Over a long period I called out gender specific favoritism, inappropriate behavior, sheer disorganization and blasé approaches to managing business - all in the most professional, solution focused manner.

They cut me because I wouldn’t get in on their party. They called me in, laid me off, I thanked them for a truly character developing experience and I walked out confidently with not a single regret.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

i am incredibly livid at the way my firm laid me off, claiming it was performance based when i know it was bc of some unrelated conversation about wanting to broaden my professional bandwidth. I had great reviews.. and those whose performances were below mine, have been promoted. I’ve had to hold my tongue, swallow my pride during my final call and play dumb even though i wanted to call them out on their bs. Trying to get over this but i hate feeling powerless and undermined
