Why do people get laid off when they’re already staffed?

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

How is the biz in tokyo since covid? Big layoffs like in the USA? All remote? Picking back up? Thank you.

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Has anyone working tech for a bank been laid off yet? Tech layoffs all over the media but no one is talking about developers at banks (who make up 1/3 of headcount in some cases)

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

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

Does anyone have any advice on how to convince yourself life is worth it when you think it’s not. I’m a 28 year guy, just got laid off from my job, have aspergers, have no friends, can’t find a gf, why do I even try anymore at anything

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Just fired my therapist. Feels better than it should

So, lay off until the pandemic blows over.

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Has anyone seen firing in Deloitte India? Is there any process or employees are fired directly like few companies?

More layoffs last week at Leo B. Seems they went after more Seniors & $alaries. Thank you France.

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

Robinhood vs Webull?

I’m working on casting hosts for a branded content series in the travel and hospitality space. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for where to tap that talent? They don’t need to be SME’s or influencers in the space, but mid level experience hosting.

How many years into the partnership do you hit 7 figures? On an average.

Partners, I imagine some of you are older. Do you remember a time of instability such as this in history? How has the media changed over the decades? How are you thinking about the times if at all?

Thoughts on Facebook. Would you work there if you could work on something interesting or just pass altogether?

Thoughts on Roland Berger’s Dubai office?

Has anyone taken the blue line to ORD recently? Is it open and safe to use? Debating taking the L or a Lyft to the airport

Help me ask for a raise in my upcoming performance review? In sum, my company’s HQ is in Texas and I feel I’m being paid a Texas wage when I live in Los Angeles (the role is remote). We do have a San Francisco office and I want to ask my boss to match me what staff are making there. As that’s more comparable. Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise

For experienced accounting professionals considering a transition into a career with solid work/life balance, a fast-growing biotech company near San Francisco is hiring for a SOX Compliance Manager and Senior Accountant/Manager roles. Roles pay well over $100k.

He’s looking for 3+bd/2+ba townhomes/SFHs which will allow small dogs. Any advice on finding a broker? It seems Zillow or other portals are not very helpful at this moment. Any pointers are highly appreciated. TIA.

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

What are the best consulting firms in the capital markets and/or investments world?

My peer doesn’t do their work that i need so i end up doing mine & theirs. Really unsure how to handle.

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?
