Layoffs

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

Jr AD’s- I’m looking to pay someone to help polish one of my projects. Need to work on it a bit more and then mock it up. Just got fired so I gotta revamp. $50 sound alright?

Another one of my friends was laid off today :/ On the plus side, their company is giving them full pay & health benefits for four months & letting them keep any equipment they had. (100% not an ad agency.) I’m so bummed for them, but honestly I’m secretly low key jealous and wish I could just take a sabbatical from my agency job with that sort of severance package. I’m grateful for my job during this time, but this industry is burning me out. I can’t remember the last time I was happy.

Are investment banking analysts getting laid off?

Can we try to be a bit less hyperbolic and check our facts when we’re talking about who got fired
vs laid off?

Fired: You unforgivably fucked up.
Laid off: We can’t monetarily afford to keep you.

Here’s some shit: I’m staff level (career change, so a few years older than most staff). My 19 yo stepchild got laid off temporarily from their skilled trade job and is able to draw unemployment. They still live with their mom and I provide their healthcare as the stepmom married to their father. Stepchild just got first unemployment check and is making 2x their normal pay. Making more than me (!) while I continue to provide their health insurance. What. the. actual. fuck.

Told a partner I am pregnant and was asked what I'm going to do after the baby....ummm work? Am I already fired?

If you accept a salary reduction in these times in good faith, and then are laid off and your severance pay is based not on your original salary but this new one, then your company knew this in advance and may well have violated labor laws. Call a lawyer. They will not charge you if they do not recoup your money.

Any recommendations of finding a new job? Was laid off and am having difficulty as a senior

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Consumer spending is way down. Ad agencies are having layoffs. Are we the canary in the coal mine for a larger nationwide trend? Should I be buying gold or just take off my tinfoil hat?

As bad as being laid off is, one of my biggest fears about someday possibly reaching a leadership role in an agency is the reality having to let people go. It’s never really appropriate to complain about since the person let go is the much more sympathetic figure, but does anyone who’s been on the other side of that conversation feel like talking about the stress and difficulty of being the one dropping the ax?

When we tell other agencies/employers you were laid off (which is the truth) do you recruiters and employers believe us? Or do you think we’re lying and that we were actually fired?

why many people have been laid off recently? I have 4 friends who had to pack their stuff this week(I don't have many friends FYI) This stresses me out.

Anyone had to start giving money to family members?

My mother got laid off & it breaks my heart to see her so defeated. Someday, I knew I would be supporting them, but never thought it would be now.

It feels so good when your best friend is your senior manager and you build a case against a less senior manager then he is fired. Sucks but feels so good.

My friend started a job as an account executive in early March, just got laid off today. Ouch.

Avoidance of travel is such a double edged sword. I'm traveling (personal, moving) for the first time in months and I feel awful for the helpful, hard working and professional flight crews that are working through this under the spectre of layoffs. Sometimes it's small like an extra drink, but I have countless times it's been a phone falling out of my pocket under seats or calling with customer care internally if something goes wrrong.

I have been in consulting for a while and thinking about switching for another role. I have been very disappointed with the recent layoffs. Leadership only seem to care about their numbers. Its not worth putting up with politics and incompetent leadership. I would rather take my talent and hard-work somewhere else. The current consulting model only seem to favor those who play politics or get lucky to be part of a good leadership circle. What are your thoughts?

What is the pay band for Engagement Manager at McKinsey? Is there any difference in pay for regular consulting track and McKinsey digital?

Does anyone use TikTok to find candidates? My marketing team brought it up to me and I am curious to see if any other companies are using it or having success with it. 🤔

Is there a hierarchy between the different NOC codes? I am a manager, but my skill level is 0 and it is different for consultants. This is confusing. Tia

I interviewed at HBS but got rejected. Should I reapply next year?

For those that buy/collect classic cars. How do you get said car? Dealership, private seller, classic car company, auction site? Curious if anyone who uses a reputable company or auction house and if you could share who it is?

Help needed! I am trying to find information about the models used to approve/reject personal loan, credit card, vehicle Loan, and mortgage applications. Greatly appreciated!

Hi all, I have been in social services for about 2.5 years now. Initially as a Case Manager and now a Care Coordinator. I currently make $25/hour while living in San Diego, CA. Does this pay seem fair to where I live/the job description?

I left an item of jewelry in my hotel room. I called next day and they said it was not in the room. The item in itself wasn’t terribly expensive, but had sentimental value to me. (Cont)
