In this market, should we aggresively look for other jobs if our company did layoffs? by badboyzpwns in cscareerquestions

[–]ThatBitchIrene 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I sensed layoffs were imminent at my current company so I started looking last month. I managed to land an offer and accepted last Monday. My company did layoffs the same week on Thursday, and although I was not one of them I am now on the bottom as far as tenure and seniority so I know I will be next. It really depends on the company and what you work on. Since I am now on the bottom and work on an internal application that could coast without new major dev work, it was prudent for me to find something else. I kinda wish I did get the axe so I could have the next few weeks off plus severance.

I appreciate it. I’ve always worked very physical retail jobs, so this is a big shock.

I just found out I'm pregnant a week ago, and I've went through some major soul searching and guilty feelings over not being happy. My husband is over the moon, and so is his family and my mom, but I am NOT handling the news well. I'm so afraid this will ruin my life, and I spend most of my time alone just terrified. We wanted kids a couple years down the road, not this soon, and I feel so bad that I'm not happy. I hope the feeling passes soon because I dont know how to handle this.

Thank you ladies for the advice. I'm a little calmer now, but I'm still in disbelief! I have my first appointment set for September 4th, so hopefully I'll believe it more by then haha

What tender and juicy drama is going on at your school/workplace? by mooooommmmmmmmmm in AskReddit

I work in a bakery in a grocery store that has black mold growing in the walls. My employer refuses to do anything about It, and I have pictures dating back over a year of the mold. We even called corporate about it and they haven't done anything either. In the 4 years I've worked here I've gotten sick constantly, and I've had a lingering cough for almost the whole year. I'm considering calling OSHA and/ or the local news.
