Thursday morning for me too! And before the end of the month so you basically don’t have insurance and have to pay for cobra

Usually Thursday, especially if you’re freelance. Usually you get to leave at end of day and have the Friday off.

I got laid off on a Thursday morning. Didn’t seem to be a logic to it

I was laid off on a Thursday morning

It varies. Might be right before a pay cycle. I’ve seen that. But I’ve also heard never on a Friday as it just gives that person the weekend to “stew.” Monday allows for that person to immediately reach out to Business contacts and get the ball rolling.

I got laid off at the end of a pay Vicki. Think it was the 30th if the month or something. Friday afternoons are pretty standard too.

From the people I’ve spoken to who had to make those decisions, it’s as soon as possible. If they’re bleeding money (and still give out severances), they don’t wait to do it on any special day of the week. They most likely won’t do it at the end of the day, though, given all the paperwork that they need to review with you, and computers they have to collect, etc

I got laid off in the mornings of a Thursday and a Tuesday

We had one on a Monday morning

Thursday morning here too. It was the 14th so last day of the current pay cycle

Monday. Ya never know

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
