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

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Do you feel safe? It depends on your performance and role. And performance means how much money you bring to the company. Not how good you actually do your job…
Ding ding
Low performers are never safe in consulting

Nah. Already planning to buy into a buddies liquor store with his dad. Backed by Coors as they were former distributors, so it’s solid. I’m still in a part of the country where liquor stores are here to stay. Wine and liquor sales only. Beer is like 2% of the business.
Lol it’s close to Denver but a few states away
No one is “safe” just prepare and do the best you can and try not to worry about things you cannot control (I know I know easier said than done)
But posts like these serve no purpose as what particular answer you’re looking for.
If someone says “yes we are safe”- how can your verify it first, second how you know your particular group is safe
If someone says “no you’re not safe” again how can you verify it and second if it is verified it’s nothing you can control
This serves no purpose other than for people to place “theories” and if they are correct nothing we can do. Just have to prepare yourself and do the best we can
One might not be one of the strong performers that are safer than most if they were to think "yes."
Lol what. You said if you think you’re safe, you may not actually be one of the strong performers that are safer than most. I’m agreeing but saying there are others saying yes that have a better reason to
Sometimes I forget how big of a percentage of people entered the workforce post-2009 and have never seen an actual recession. I lived through both the GFC and the Dotcom implosion, buckle up your seatbelts people.
I think there were parts of the country that didn't even feel the dotcom bubble. The GFC was a brutal 5 years in the U.S. - even longer elsewhere. :-(
There is no such thing as “safe”. It’s an illusion.
No one is safe, RUN 🏃♂️🏃🏃♀️💨
Running is actually the worst move. Job market is so bad right now just batten down the hatches and keep the job you have!
If you are on the bench you are not safe
No

Hell no
Might be, depending on your reputation and staffing
In net, no. Strong performers are generally safe
I think it comes down to what kind of contracts are in place. Getting new business will be difficult; however, existing contracts must be honored.
Yes. Timmy will do another capital call before there are mass layoffs
Nah. If businesses are cutting cost to free up cash, then we are part of their variable expense that they can trim.
If clients are suffering then we will suffer too
It’s a domino effect and better to be prepared for the worst
No one is ever safe
Yes. Professional services was the second largest growth area in the economy last month
