Well you could turn down the project and see if lack of utilization gets you a layoff

Why do so many ppl think they will get laid off with severance. It's called being fired for performance and you won't get severance. Laid off happens when a company is performing poorly and needs to get rid of employees...

BA1: just negotiate a signing bonus that pays for the tuition assistance you owe. Not worth being laid off or fired just for that.

Cohtatd on the success, OP. It sounds like the business is taking off. I wouldn't tell anybody that that's how you spent your summer vacation. The firm may want it.

It wasn't the classiest move @p2, but taking up space isn't a possibility at a firm like ours. I hope you realize that, unless you want to continually drink the firm kool-aid. Sure it hurts my brand on work ethic, but I made it very clear that I didn't want to stay in my industry and still worked my ass off on projects. No brand damage there. Don't know what you mean by others reputation either.

Do you have another offer lined up?

Is this just an emotional reaction to a CRT conversation?

Uh this is a weird question

Calm down and take a deep breath. I was also feeling upset after meh CRT conversation, but gather yourself then take next steps.

Why are there so many of these unethical questions on this app

Not actually going to do this. Not all offers are equal. Boss Allen's LOW process blurs the line between performance and demand response.

My bad for the late reply yall. I've been working at night to start my own company and took vacation to work on it full time - this is not an emotional post-CRT decision. Looks like the only option is to quit on Monday.

What is crt?

CRT is career round table, promotion talks by partners...

OP. If you give it your second best, I seriously hope you receive that karma later. You are literally taking up space, potentially harming the reputations of those around you, and betraying your brand...

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY)..
