#jobsearch

Ride lasted for 10 yrs.
One thing is clear - you have to be your own boss, companies don't care(rightly so) about you, only the bottom line.
Enhance your skills, take up part time gig(let this be a wake up call)

Am back on unemployment line for 12 weeks(earlier was 36 weeks - Thanks Rick Scott for sc--wing that) and last week 60K workers were laid off across the US so will be joining them in searching for next job.

I have been searching for a new opportunity outside Verizon and it took a while to land a new Job because of the market conditions.

Good luck guy's hope you landed the job that's make you happy soon

Where are all the “JOBS” that Amazon promised would be available to the 16,000 they laid off this month? Where is all the “SUPPORT” they claimed they would provide us to find alternative jobs within Amazon? Where is the “…..WORLDS BEST EMPLOYER” support Amazon promised us? Why are all the jobs disappearing from the internal jobs site all the sudden?

This horrendous company, albeit they paid me great money and moved my family and I across the country, bait and switched me only to be laid off and unable to afford moving back to where I called home. So here I am, sitting in front of a laptop looking for non-existent jobs from hiring managers that fail to respond to a courtesy slack introducing myself and explaining why I am reaching out (basically that I’m about to be homeless) today. When they do respond back, why are they telling me the role has since been filled when it was JUST posted three days prior?! I am OVER qualified for positions I am applying for and STILL no response.

I have been with Amazon almost a year and a half. The most recent Forte landed me TT, as confirmed by receiving a copy of the letter of recommendation from my L8 supervisor. I have had three different L8 letter of recommendations sent to one specific hiring manager, whom responds back to them stating they will reach out, only to have zero interaction with said “hiring manager”.

I have been assured, multiple times from a reputable source, that I will be offered a role before the date ends, but how am I honestly sleep at night when I have yet to receive any communication. Do not think, for so much as a second, that I am an HV1/2 or even HV3, I have proof I am TT. If someone who is “valuable” to Amazon, why do they allow me to feel like that nasty urinal cake from the men’s room of a sleezy capital hill dive bar?

This is absolutely depressing to say the least, this company has me sitting here contemplating things nobody should ever have to contemplate. I truly feel like I am being buried alive with a plastic stir stick to breath from.

Wish I had someone to help, someone like myself as I help my team find jobs. Ironically, to which I have already landed 3 of my 7 direct reports with roles before their severance date ends. Meanwhile I will likely be unemployed come May since nobody is helping ME find a job. How’s that for “… WORLDS BEST EMPLOYER”?!

The job market is terrible, but the unprofessionalism makes it worse. I've been left hanging after final interviews twice now. Since when did it become okay to just vanish on a candidate? It adds a whole other layer of stress to an already hard process.

If there were any other options. But the way things are, most of us are stuck here until something else comes along. I'm absolutely furious at being cornered like this. I'm sure the corporate overlords everywhere are loving these circumstances.

Working every contact, and applying for anything where my skills might fit. I'm becoming desperate. One single interview, and it didn't work out. It's as bad out there as everyone says. Watching Open Text's nosedive is freaking me out. We knew things were bad, and layoffs became the norm, but this feels like the death throes.

I know this is not layoff related, so feel free to ignore it, but my current role and environmental in the BGCO feels toxic. I want to look at other BGCO roles and was thinking about the advanced solutions team. Does anyone have any insight into that team or know if they are considered a part of Dans future plan? Are they likely to have less layoff impacts because of what they do? Is the environment a good one?

I never expected all these recent decisions and developments to lead anywhere good. I’ve finally landed an interview for a decent job. It’s not much of a pay raise, but it looks far more stable. I hope it works out, because staying here just waiting for things to get worse until the axe falls is a disservice to yourself. I’d recommend putting your own interests first. Maybe the rumors about immediate massive layoffs aren’t true, but they are coming. Oracle has become a hot mess, and we’re the ones who’ll end up holding the short end of the stick.

Am I better off applying externally?

Looking to apply for a few positions

Too many recruiters posting shocker posts on LinkedIn. What is that about ?

I ignored the signs for too long and now my health is paying the price. I wish I had listened to my gut and started job hunting the moment I felt the constant pressure. This job isn't worth your wellbeing.

Start looking for your next role today, but do not quit. The market is absolutely awful, worse than it looks from the inside. I was laid off and with twenty years in the field, it still took me forever to land something new. Being unemployed puts you at a huge disadvantage from the start. Keep your current seat warm until you've secured another one.

Every time I bring up the topic of a raise with my boss, it gets dismissed. Meanwhile, the cost of living continues to INFLATE, and I’m struggling to make ends meet at home. I’ve been actively searching for other jobs. Applying to jobs every single day but all I’ve received so far are rejections.

Only been a couple of weeks and I am already on my 2nd and 3rd rounds with two remote companies offering higher pay and minimal travel. Anyone else planning their exit after bonuses?

I was laid off from T-Mobile last week and am looking for a new job. What types of positions are currently open at AT&T?

Maybe all the downvoting and “you’re crazy” commenting people trolling us will listen. This is easily the 8th time this site has accurately reported when layoffs would occur. It’s not to panic people. It’s to help us prepare. Prepare for transitioning, finances, prepare resumes, start looking at job market. While some may already be doing that, many have a wild fear of change and don’t.

Please let this be your wake up call. You need to be plugged in to your network, expanding it, strengthening it. You need to be touching your resume every couple weeks.

I’ve been unemployed for 11 months, and watching people I know announce new jobs or promotions makes me feel smaller every time... I want to feel happy for them, but instead I’m left with envy, frustration, and a quiet sadness that doesn’t really go away.

I’m in my mid-30s with no job, no partner, no kids, and it makes me feel stuck, behind... honestly undesirable. The job market is broken. I’ve done the applications... the final-round interviews, the books, the videos, the advice threads --- and none of it has paid off. i’ve come close more times than I can count... and only to see someone else eventually land the role. I can’t ignore the thought that not being white may be part of it.

If you were stuck here this long and still made it out, what actually helped?

I haven’t given up but i am sooo tired

are any orgs hiring for remote or hybrid? Curious if there were a select few people could name

Just curious for those that work here, are you planning to stay and try to ride out the current turmoil? Or actively looking whats out there. Obviously the market is brutal right now that makes switching harder, but I still see a lot of new job posts on LinkedIn, so theres gotta be some companies hiring.

I'm getting so tired of this. As if it wasn't hard enough finding a job as it is, we have to waste time on all these placeholders or whatever they are.

HP is the only experience I have on my resume and no one wants to hire me

You’ ve been monitored every minute in office and every key stroke that you type. Writing is on the wall. Not your fault. This is simple math - the company has more than what it can chew. Layoffs will continue through out 2026. Doesnt matter what rating you got. Exceeds rating and promotions mean cr-p as it is relative. Time to upskill and time to work on your resume. Start looking around for a job. Dont wait to be layed off - your severance will not be big anymore - trust me its an exec here. Get out as a hero at your will once you find an opportunity elsewhere.

I like my actual work, but the company's direction is undeniably bad. I think it's time to accept that Target is failing and seriously start looking for a new job before it's too late.

If I decline to move, any ideas on what the timeline looks like to get the official layoff notice? I hear that puts me on "the list" but I'm more curious what that means for timeline / budget purposes. I want to find a new job, but I want to do it in the right order.

Thanks!

The tri state era are allowed to wfh this week. If not, time to find a new job. Not worth it.

Well I come from a competitor of Qualcomm , where there everything looks like a mess ( layoffs and reorg with no sense)
Qualcomm looks really stable with RF , and ADAS/AUTO portfolio

I've always wanted to work at Amazon and I've been applying for a while, but with all the cuts, I'm starting to think there's no point in it anymore. I don't want to leave a somewhat safe position to start a new job even if it is my dream job just to be laid off within months.

If I'm spending my weekend stressed about Monday, this job isn't worth it. I'm getting my resume ready and leaving as soon as I find the right opportunity.

Lots of people are heading for the exits and I get it. I'd leave too if I could find a similar paying job. Anyone know where they're landing? I need some leads.

Finding a new role took me many months and it was terrifying. Severance runs out faster than you think. Everyone should be putting money aside now because the job market is terrible.

I have been at T for more than dog years and as I venture into job market, I am seeing hiring managers not having a clue who they want, yet interview me and send instant rejections after the first rounds. I am unsure if these are H1B postings, my tenure at T negatively affecting or my credentials. I am a bit flabbergasted on what to improve on if I can’t even make the first round. How did you overcome this?

As a former U.S. Bank employee with close to 30 years of experience and experienced unemployment.

Recognize

• You are owed nothing other than your last paycheck.
• Benefits are better than most other places.
• Your colleagues are friendly with you but are not your friends.
• Anyone including you can easily be replaced.
• The job market is tough even with high demand skills.
• Leadership acts on behalf of the shareholders. You should too.
• Age discrimination is real.
• RTO is not about you.
• Business has nothing to do with morality.

You should:

• Appreciate your paycheck
• Not complain…not to anyone.
• Learn and leverage AI.
• Use all available resources at U.S. bank and anywhere else to improve.
• Work hard and do your best while you’re employed.
• Side hustle or develop passive income streams.
• Stop being entitled.
• Not share your personal baggage or health issues.
• Not compare yourself to anyone.
• Know your worth and find a place that recognizes it.

I am not posting to say what is right or wrong l. All I can say is that it is better to su-k it up and collect a paycheck than having your pride on the unemployment line.

Tough times peeps, it's depressin

I gave up on this place a long time ago. It's just the paycheck, and not exactly one to write home about. I've been working really hard on finding something else. Compared to Amazon, the grass is greener elsewhere by definition.
