Will I get fired for being on the bench for two months after starting?

Any companies looking for experienced hire Planning/Supply Chain professional with >10yoe in industry? An old coworker was laid off from a retailer, and was an excellent Planning Manager when I worked with her.

Have the EY layoffs been centered around a specific location? Any on the west coast?

If you’re worried about getting fired or laid off, or between jobs and worried, or looking for work, just know this: you will be okay. Try to relax and enjoy this beautiful summer weekend. (Continued)

Hi everyone!

I'm a recent undergrad, just started my first job in July at a data consulting startup, yet 1 month into training (got a Snowflake cert), was suddenly laid off along with half of the firm.

I'm now looking for any opportunities or advice in entry-level data analyst/business intelligence/consulting roles (preferably ones that sponsor OPT/H1B).

My major was Applied Math and Econ. I know R really well and also am familiar with SQL and Python. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello! Due to recent leadership changes, signs are pointing to a layoff for my team & me around Christmas/the new year. If you know of any companies looking for folks with HR, Talent strategy, program management, or I/O psychology backgrounds, please comment or DM me. Remote roles for professionals with 8+ years of experience are ideal. Many thanks in advance 🙂

No matter how much good feedback I get and how well received my work is by clients, I constantly assume I’m about to be called in to the CEO’s office and fired.

Why is that?

Does 35 day bench policy apply for new lateral hires as well in CTS?

Anyone around the Philly area want to be friends? Recently got laid off, and don’t have any friends around the area so yeah🙃

Hello everyone. Hope all are doing good. Just had a question if anyone is aware what happens if anyone is on bench for more than 3 months? Do they fire?

How do you not take a layoff due to RIF (involuntary reduction) personally? I was told it is not personal. All full time positions except 1 were let go. Contractors on the team still exist and so does the team. I can’t help but wonder whether performance was a factor and it makes me really sad even after a few months! Any examples of how laying off full time employees over contractors helps with cost cutting? Thanks!

Ok I’ve yet to get a real offer since the pandemic layoffs. Any recommendations for recruiter/resume services? Left off with 3 years of IT product management and 10 years customer success/training management.

Would you take the first job that’s offered to you after being laid off even if it doesn’t excite you and it may not be the right fit? In this economy? Worried that it could be a while until something else comes along.

Interviewing for a chief of staff role at a startup that’s raised about $14M so far. What should I look for when assessing if this is a good opportunity?

Would work directly with CEO and expecting cash compensation of 100K and 0.25% of equity. Is the equity % low?

CEO hopes to sell at 100M, meaning the equity would be valued at 60K a year (4 yrs), but this seems optimistic to me.

2 YOE for reference.

Anyone have any feedback on the Accenture case interview for a consultant level? I’m specifically in T&O with resources but I don’t know if that will matter

Just a reminder: They are not your “family”. And yes, you are 100% expendable. Never forget.

Is the Coquitlam Scream Park worth it? The prices are pretty steep.
