Why am I seeing posts by people saying they found out this morning they've been let go from The Many? I thought layoffs were last week

Grey Merge with AKQA, VMLYR merges with Geometry. Are those „mergers” just the coverups for potential wave of layoffs?

Alrighty All, I posted a couple of months ago when I got laid off. I took some time to enjoy my summer and now it’s time to get back to work. During that time, I made the decision to relocate to the east coast, my new home is in Columbus Ohio! So…if anyone knows of or is hiring in the food contract management area or something where my skills could transfer, hit me up!

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

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

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

What are everyone's thoughts on resume services/coaching? I am a leader/exec that was laid off (first time) and have spent over 15 years in various roles such SVP Operations, Senior Director Product, VP Solutions, etc. at different companies.

I am struggling with putting my experience/qualifications on paper...

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Employment-at-will. Is that the norm in a consulting contract (I’m moving from Europe)? Can I / should I negotiate the notice period on their side or eventually the size of an eventual lay-off?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

Just a joke, take it as a joke-
.
Recently Better (dot) com's employees were fired from the job.
If you are some HR/Senior management personnel and hiring them.
You should reconsider your decision as they will make your organisation BETTER. :-)

Who was laid off today

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

Would you take an offer with 35% less salary with two years less tenure (consulting) or stay unemployed while searching because you were laid off recently? Location is western Europe, asking for a friend.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

My coworker keeps leaving terrible jokes in the comments on our code, and some of them are vaguely sexist. Should I tell them to keep the code clean?

Any referrals for power and utilities consulting?

What’s the M1 Tax salary in OH? I would be renting, please share the cost of 2/3 bed apartments. Thank you.

Hi Fishes, Wish you a great day ahead 😊🤗.

I love teaching, I can't see myself doing anything else as a profession. Why are teacher scrutinized, have demands placed on them, judged, and criticized more than any other profession??

Hi All,

Hi all, has anyone temporarily transferred to the Canadian office of their firm and done the Canadian PR application while they were there on work visa?

Does anyone know how the ease or difficulty of moving from business services tax (partnerships, private equity etc) to transfer pricing?

Looking to buy a practice in the St. Louis, MO area if an advisor is ready to consider retirement, could transition over 1-3 years as desired.

Hie fishes
I recently joined nagarro

Is that means I am in bench or project

Does smoking Hookah break your fast?

I got Botox (forehead) for the first time this weekend. It’s starting to kick in and I really don’t like how my forehead feels so tight when I try to use my brow muscles, it’s a weird sensation. Does this feeling go away? Or do you get used to it? It’s not painful just strange.

Hi Fish,

My LWD in TCS is on next week. Can anyone please help me what are the formalities I have to do and clearance I have to apply for.
If someone has gone through the process recently, a step by step guide would be really appreciated.

Is there a need for freelance community managers?

Over heard today about bad behavior in biglaw : if you had to explain to someone’s parents or loved ones how you treated them and you’d be unable to do so without feeling awkward or embarrassed, you are the problem.

Any other second city improv students/grads here? Wondering if you found it valuable to your career. ( I’m talking base classes, not “failed to make snl I so went into advertising “ ☺️)

I want to work with plants and trees.
How can I use what I’ve learned as a copy to work with, let’s say, reforestation?

nothing hurts more than getting let go from a job 2 months in.. When you think you are progressing and learning, but in all actuality you are deemed as not a good fit and failing to meet expectations.

My boss hasn't been teaching me anything new and I've been left out of meetings with agency partners. Is it possible that she's not helping me grow on purpose?

Just read a Q&A with Nick Law (Publicis) in the Drum. Surprised that he perpetuates the "creatives are crazy" stereotype. After 7 agency years I'm pretty sure the account people are the real psychos.

Any tips for securing freelance work with US agencies when you live abroad? My work is pretty solitary and I could fly in for workshops or a major presentation.

For publicis companies, what is the last day included in an end of month check? Asking as a freelancer.

Layoffs at Omnicom shops today?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

Not a good day for beer brands, aye? 😳

Seattle Design Culture - How much do you hate/love it?

Quiet firings are happening through out the industry right now. Agencies have become better about hiding the layoffs and firings. Not a good thing…

Like I’m sure many of you, I’m tired of the word “empower.” But the thesaurus isn’t really giving me anything that feels right. Have you seen any unique or more authentic alternatives?

I’m currently an AD but have always been interested in production. How hard would the transition be? Is it worth it? Would I have to start from the bottom again money wise?

Anybody have any tips on how to go about the relocation conversation? I’m looking to move out of the city with our main office to a city with a much smaller office. With post-covid office culture I can’t imagine it’s that big of an ask. That said, I’m in a junior role and have been with the company for less than a year so I don’t know if this is a question I should really even ask at this time.

Who’s negotiated severance? Any tips?

Recruiters that lie...

Microsoft Surface computers: have you used them? Do you enjoy them? How have they been evolving? Creatives: can they keep up with a MacBook in performance with CC?
