Wow. There are so many layoff news from different agencies. Might not be as large of a percentage as early during the covid. Isn’t this a bit early in the season? I always thought it’s December when agencies trim the headcount. 😬

So are you saying its a bad time to have quit for a new agency 😬

like

No, not necessarily. If they have approval to hire, that should be a good sign. They may have won a new account or have a list of clients that are pretty stable year over year no matter the economy. However, my advice is to look at their hiring/layoff history (Google them for layoff news, check reviews on Glassdoor, etc). Make an informed decision.

Particularly if they are publicly held, they have reign in their budgets before the end of the year, projecting and setting budgets for next year. November is a big month for layoffs in many industries during economically challenging times.

Sooo we don’t think there will be a lot of hires in the beginning of the year?

They need to cost cut even more to stay afloat this year, the extra few weeks will help.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

Just got fired.. any opportunities out there in North America.
