With all of the recent layoffs, I created a bowl for the newly unemployed to share job opportunities and commiserate with one another. You’re not alone. https://joinfishbowl.com/bowl_w1pfmk

Will there be layoffs at grip/dentsu? just saw that they’re folding the Grip agency brand 👀

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.

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Is there a possibility of layoffs in Barclays India?

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

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Thoughts on Veteran status and the ongoing corporate layoffs?

Would you be interested in a program that allows you to explore yourself and find community when going through major life challenges of being international in America. Like being on OPT 60 days, being laid off on visa and the list goes on..

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

Haven’t seen bf in over 3 months due to COVID. Lately, he’s been pushing to see me but I don’t feel comfortable because he hasn’t been quarantining. He makes it sound like if I’m not willing to go see him might as well breakup. Any advice?

Would you mind helping an art director who also lectures in art direction schools please: what has been the most exciting or memorable or useful lecture in your Art Direction school/course as students?

Please help! I have 2 great offers! 1 for Exec director at a tier 1 US IB, another for an SM role at big 4. Which one would you fishes take?

I am a contractor with a three month rolling contract and have decided not to renew my contract again. Should I give two weeks notice? I already confirmed it would be renewed with my manager before a new opportunity came along that I am very excited about. I had planned on giving 3 weeks notice, that is until two people in my immediate personal circle have said my company will probably just let me go the day I tell them since I am a contractor. Thoughts?

What is the new 100k? People often talk about breaking six figures, but that was many years ago. What is the new number now?

MAKE NAPS GREAT AGAIN. When I become a manager one day, everyone on my team will be allowed the option to take a nap. Sincerely, C

Post-Covid, I just cannot seem to find the inspiration to network at a conference such as the AWS DC summit. I initially wanted to get facetime with vendors to check out potential job openings.

But it just feels like a large circle jerk where no productive work gets done. And besides all keynote addresses are recorded and available online anyway.

Wondering if anyone out there feels differently or has had better experiences from these events? #aws

Hey FB fam. I’m putting together Financial success resources. If you have any books, articles or podcasts in relation to personal investments or real estate you recommend, please feel free to share 🙃

Thoughts on boomeranging back to old company after a year? I left on good terms and stay in touch with the director.

That feeling of knowing you worked your ass off and made sacrifices in your personal life for a promotion you were told you’d be getting at the end of the year, while receiving great feedback all year, only to be told “sorry, maybe next cycle….” 😔

Deloitte 🐟：when's the cutover week for YE utilization calculation?
