Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

And on that note I'm tired of people being afraid of other people knowing they were laid off... If the firm makes you feel like a second class citizen for being laid off, then the firm won, even after they let you go
Pwc3 you are talking too big my friend. Did you ever get laid off? Were you under the pressure of a working visa? Do you know the level of stress? If not, shut the fuck up. It is not easy tell that you were fired when they are looking for a top notch candidate...
Um.. Yes OP, I was in fact laid off. And if an employer won't hire you because you were laid off, then it's not a good match for either party (this goes for anyone who has to lie to get a job). The truth always comes out; the only person who's only "fucking dumb as fuck" is you.
Own it, explain very briefly in interview, move on to highlight all the wonderful skills you bring to the new firm.
Too late for that, already have an offer. Still worried that it may come off as awkward
Everyone is justifiably stressed but is shitting on one another going to help? No
Who said there will be an article?
OP: nothing wrong with the lay off. Shit happens. If you got an offer already, just focus on making a good impression at the new place. That will beat any awkwardness form the this experience and 2-3 months into the new gig no one will care.
Op it's only awkward if you lied to them and told them you quit
Where did you get on?
^ well said
Good luck OP!
Jesus.... Some people are fucking dumb as fuck
