#jobsearch

Has anyone else run into problems getting your unemployment paid in Texas? They denied our claims for payment because of getting the severance package! So now after 6 months separation, they will now start the 6 month clock to claim. So 6 months of logging every job search so far, and now have to keep on logging it. No one is even willing to interview a database programmer in their 60’s! We appealed, and it took them 12 weeks to finally set up a hearing on it next week. Any tips?? TIA

Time to look for a new job!

My team has been reduced by 30% in the last year while Oracle GPT has not made us 30% more efficient. The people let go in the last layoff had been at Oracle a long time which has made things harder slower too. My job has turned into a death by meeting multitasking he-l.

I’ll be looking for other companies to work for if my team is reduced again.

5 people left our team in the last 2 months. Everyone else is looking for new jobs. It’s becoming genuinely concerning, seems like a race on who’s going to get out first.

Guys, regarding the “so called” JV….its not!

Coming at it from a sales perspective BT have the client footprint, better infrastructure and most significantly, staff costs are significantly lower than Verizon’s

There are very few instances where Verizon has deeper client facing relationships in EMEA….especially in their own backyard (UK).

The Verizon Sales/Sales Managers/Sales Directors in are particularly vulnerable as BT run a tight ship with grading/remuneration. Just do the maths…this is all about efficiency.

Check what BT pay your role online…you will be shocked…they won’t have two pay scales…and everyone at BT isn’t getting a rise!

The support people will be retained in line with the one year commitment to avoid disruption to clients. This also allows sufficient time for Verizon clients, many of which were sold solutions that couldn’t be delivered/supported, to be standardised.

I am sorry to be bearer of bad news but you really should be updating your CV’’s…don’t be fooled…this re-badging ends badly for Verizon.

Show Verizon the same loyalty they have shown you… make the move now….before the decision is taken out of your hands.

It is becoming quite population take a leave of absence and focus on finding a new job during the leave

Citi's job board is a total fraud. Every fake interview is just a cruel waste of time for a job already promised to some buddy or contractor.

HR and managers have zero morals. Someone needs to audit this rotten system, and the candidates who applied internally should start saving screenshots of the staff lists before and after few months to catch them in their lies.
What a waste of time!

If you are NSI this year be very careful before choosing to try the PIP. This year managers have been told they will not be allowed to pass people on the PIP. Managers are scared of going against the guidance as passing people will be seen as not willing to make the hard choices that management material need to make. You are better off taking the PIL and using the time to look for a job.

There are a lot of jobs out there and employers looking for people. Make the chanage. You will be glad you did.

Meaning, we're so sc--wed. It's not even about being laid off, but if everybody is doing, where the he-l are we supposed to find new jobs?

No president's club this year!

I'm not sure why, but remote jobs have started popping up in my feed again, and not bad ones. I'm tempted to start applying, if I can get the courage. The devil I know still seems better than the devil I don't, but I miss WFH so much that it could push me to go for it.

A question for others who've been applying: have you been getting lowball offers all over the place? With pay being around 50% of what it should be based on all the factors, including your experience?

Come and bring your friends.

This just isn't a serious place of work anymore. Where should I go next? Amazon? CapitalOne? If you're smart and hard working where would you go?

I'm tired of the antics.

I’m getting nowhere, looking outside of Ford.

#OpenToWork posts are already starting to pop up, they can be indicative of what's being hit.

I keep looking for a new job but no luck yet. One day I'll get out on my own terms and leave this place in the dust!

Was fortunate to eventually land another position. Trying not to take anything for granted and always keep my resume updated. Hope all of you are doing well.

I am an RN and I was let go due to great pressure by the management. I found a much better job where people treat you as a human.

Another fake career fair planned for week of august 21
But No hours whatsoever

If you are not in a hub location I suggest you start looking for a new job. Hub locations are a lot of them by area but LOB but if you are in a satellite office you will be forced back in

100% be cautious of this.. You’ll read a lot of people say something like “oh I got a job during those 60 days and kept the severance”. I did this. Lost my severance. Then got laid off two months later at my new job. 8 months later im back here. In a role 3 levels lower than when I left.

Remember those 60 days you’re still employed. If you accept another role. You aren’t laid off. You’ve now quit.

It’s a notice of potential employment loss due to layoff. If you accept another role during that time you quit your job and took a new job. These companies have automated systems that notify each other. Especially with workday.

Very much do start your job hunt immediately. It’s a long drawn out process with multiple rounds of interviews.

Just don’t accept the role until day 61.

I beg of you - listen to my advice.

Washington's tech sector is experiencing ongoing layoffs, adding to a significant number of job reductions statewide this year. Both Verizon and Intel have announced workforce reductions as part of their strategic adjustments. These cuts contribute to a challenging job market for those seeking employment in the region. The trend of substantial layoffs in Washington continues from the previous year. Over 8,500 layoffs have already been reported across all industries in the state this year.

I’m honestly tired of the waiting game. If you’re going to do layoffs just do it already. They already know who is going to be let go so just do it. The anxiety of waiting and wondering is getting so exhausting. In my area WFH jobs are non existent except for Centene. I have put my resume out there and applied for over 50 jobs already in case I get cut and was declined from most or never received a response. I’ve been with this company for almost four years now and have made it through other layoffs but they didn’t feel as extreme as this one.
I honestly just want answers or some type of update. The job market is awful right now and this is going to hurt a lot of people who live in smaller towns with not many options for employment. I truly hope I make it through these cuts but I’m mentally preparing myself to be let go. I’m still working just as hard every day but the anxiety is causing me to be physically sick. Sorry just needed to vent.

Are there jobs for JD Edwards ? Is it something worth investing time.

I regret coming here, toxic manager yells at me openly in meetings. My whole team is also not US based. I'm a US citizen working mostly on C++ doing bug fixes feel like this is so hard to sell even as a Sr Swe. I'm trying to leetcode/system design review but I feel so far behind. Grad school? Getting a cert? No idea how to sell this place

Is anyone in my age bracket actually finding work after being let go?

In case you were wondering, yes, the job market is as brutal as it looks.

Before you apply anywhere, make sure to check their layoff history. Many are doing the exact same thing as this place. I almost jumped to a competitor, then I checked their page and saw they're constantly cutting staff too. Big names aren't always safe names.

I know some of you were already probably on the edge of retirement so this is not for you.

My questions are for those who cannot yet retire. I’m genuinely curious as these are the things that stopped me from even opening the VSP email.

Do you have another job lined up? If not, why would you take it? How long do you think it will take you to get another job? Are you okay with it not being remote?

How do you feel regarding the fact that the amount you’re shown will be taxed? How long do you think it will last?

I know some days my job can be frustrating but I love it. Outside of a few people who don’t pull their weight, overall it’s really not that bad. I have great leadership and a good team and overall a wonderful department in which my team is a part of. I am paid pretty good for what I do. There is never a boring day. I’ve got over 13 years of knowledge and experience and yet still I learn new things. And I get to do it all at home.

Why on earth would you want to leave? I really want to know. There are some people leaving with VSP I am happy that took it because I don’t have to hold their hand anymore, but others, I am somewhat surprised learning they will voluntarily leave but even more taken aback that some of them don’t have anything else lined up. I don’t know some of them well enough to ask this because I am not close to them and feel like asking is inappropriate.

So, I’m asking it here to those who will maybe answer because I don’t want to be unemployed in this economy. If they want me gone, I’m gonna make them do it to me. No way am I volunteering myself.
