I can't help with your Q, but sorry to hear.

Following.

Are you in CbD?

What level OP?

Yes IBM 3 and 1, I was. They say it doesn’t, but it kinda did. It took me a while to find projects, so I spent lots of time on the bench. Also I heard rumors that they were putting people on PIPs and firing people for low utilization, as a part of the GBS transformation

If it's a utilization firing then that's really a lay off because they couldn't find work for you. Just discuss it that way. Lots of firms go through cycles and I've heard that IBM has had a lot of that cycle lately. Not picking on IBM just what I've heard. Huron did that a year or so ago and they're doing a lot better now.

^ yes , Ibm is worse than a big 4 in this sense

It was part utilization and part performance.

How long you been with IBM?

Year and a half

Lol. I found the job. Now it’s a matter of being able to start.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
