Word on the street is that there's yet ANOTHER round of layoffs tomorrow... 🙃

Hey Fishes,
I am suppose to join BNY Pune on grade I very soon. Wanted to check on how is the bank doing in the recession time. Any chances of layoffs predicted? Is the bank suffering any loss?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hi Fishes,

Need advice,

I recently got laid off by PS and my notice period just got over,

I have offers from:

PineLabs,

HealthKart,

Recro,

Rojo Consultancy

All are offering almost same ctc around 19-22 LPA,

I have 3 years of experience as a backend developer,

working on Spring Boot, REST API, Java 8.

Any help is really appreciated,

Thanks in Advance 😅

I was just laid off due to COVID. Felt invincible when the crisis began but now feel lost as if my career was ripped out with the tide. Slowly gaining motivation to get back on top

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Which agencies are going through layoffs

What are some reasons you’ve seen people get fired for? And how long did the warning process take, if any?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

Thoughts on Veteran status and the ongoing corporate layoffs?

Netflix

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.

Can any ACN fish refer? Firm issued a wave of new hire layoffs which happened to affect me.

Big layoffs at Booz Allen Dubai and Abu Dhabi Cyber teams.

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.

This is consistent across the majority of the tech companies. While I am looking to exit consulting, don’t want to be paid 50% of what my colleagues would be making across the border.

Recently obtained my aPHR and I’m considering next steps in advancing my career. I am eligible to sit for the SHRM-CP presently and will not be able to sit for a PHR until 09/2023. Any pros/cons with either certification? Should I wait to sit for PHR or go for SHRM-CP now?

Difference between iCore Dop and ideas cloud transformation?

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
