I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22! With the influx of recent layoffs and other circumstances that cause employees to need income or fulfillment, I believe the gig economy might be the structural functionalism we need. Employers are in luck too, quick hiring to help fill a gap without paying overhead and benefits. Personally speaking, at 22 weeks pregnant, I understand that organizations may not be keen to hiring me full-time, knowing I’ll be signing off soon. This poses other questions that I will explore at a later time. I know my experience is not unique to being a parent; it is something that many people go through while they are searching for work: exploring new industries, trying to make extra income, looking for flexibility in their life, diversity of work projects, and more. The overwhelming thoughts begin to pour in: Where do I start? Who is open to hiring me? What options are available? As an employer, how do I create a culture with contract workers? How do I onboard? Where do I find who and what I’m looking for? I completely understand the hesitation, so I’ve broken it down to help us get started, and we will work through this together. Who is this for? 🧑💻 Employees: looking to make extra income, wanting to engage in skills other than their full-time work, people who are in the process of interviewing and want to stay informed about the industry, parents, and caregivers who need flexibility, anyone who is interested. 💼 Employers: looking to fill a short-time position, needing immediate assistance for a project, specialized skill set, regional support, extra hands on deck, any company interested. What am I looking for? 🙋🏽♀️ Three-month contract, open to helping with: earned media (strategy, pitching, media lists, writing press releases, etc.), digital marketing (strategy, social media copy, community management, influencer management, etc.), and other! I’m open to chatting and seeing if there is a different opportunity. Let’s get started; please feel free to comment below whether you’re an employee or employer with what you’re looking for, regardless of industry, let’s make some connections!! ⬇️ #futureofwork #worklifebalance #flexwork Parentaly

Benefits of 14 hours of work: 1) No need to waste your precious time in Traffic, as you can sleep within the office ( quite impossible to travel back and reach the next day) Nb: they may provide sleeping pods, if not, you should carry your own! 2) Doubt in process change? No worries, you will be having easy access to colleagues (24/7) as everyone is within the office premise. 3) Bored of homily food? This is your opportunity to grab mouth watering snacks everyday as you won't "visit" your home! Nb: List of nearby hotels and open hours should be provided 4) Increased productivity and increased revenue for both companies and hospitals as people visiting hospitals will increase 3Fold! 5) Citing health issues, normal age life will be 40-50, thus not needing to pay a hefty amount to senior persons as there would be none! ( mostly it will reduce layoffs) Recommendation: It will be a good gesture, if companies can give access cards to family members with "Visiting Time" clearly mentioned at entrance. Please give them access, so that we won't forget we have a Family! #Bangalore #14hoursofwork

Could I be protected from layoffs after being replaced post-parental leave? Answers: https://lnkd.in/g_vRD2ai #ParentalLeave #JobSecurity #WorkplaceRights Hey everyone! I'm reaching out because I'm in a pretty tricky situation and could really use your insights. So, I’m a senior project manager in engineering consulting, and I was headhunted for this role back in December 2023. Fast forward to July/August, I took a 6-week parental leave, and when I returned, I found out I’ve been replaced by a junior team member. 😟 The reason given was project budget cuts. Here’s where it gets complicated: the budget hasn’t actually been cut yet, but the client is looking to reduce it — pending regulatory approval, which could take ages! 🚧 This project is with a long-term client, and the work was secured for years. Now, I'm in a position where I need to scrounge for other project work, but the pipeline is pretty slim. I fear my company might let me go in a few weeks or so if I can’t find any chargeable work in time. So, I started thinking... Since I was headhunted for this position and came back from parental leave only to be replaced, are there any safeguar...

2 days after I returned from PTO, I was fired. Here's what went down 👇 My first job in a digital advertising firm lasted 5 months. I came on so excited to take on a big project. I left disappointed and angry. When I was hired, the company was going through a huge change. They were preparing for a merger with a competitor. Leadership didn't care if they delivered on their projects or not. This role was pivotal to my career growth. Yet, I left there afraid to take PTO, in case my position was eliminated while I was on PTO. That was 15 years ago. Today, I know better. My performance was not the issue. I was told that I was being laid off without any reason. This is the reality of thousands of people.

As per Glassdoor's 2024 Workplace Trends, the low employee morale that came with the 2023 layoffs will linger  into 2024.

Let's advance the dialogue on the mental health implications of layoffs. Together, we can pave the way for a more supportive workplace.

When an #employee resigns, it's a moment of change, not conflict. Unfortunately, in many #workplaces, this transition can be tense, with employees being treated poorly during their #notice period. Instead of maintaining a professional atmosphere, some companies start to sideline or humiliate those who have chosen to leave. This behavior not only damages the employee's morale but also reflects poorly on the #company’s culture. A resignation should be seen as a natural part of the working world, and employees should be treated with respect until their very last day. Consider a real-life example of a well-known tech company, Adobe. When an #employee resigns, Adobe treats the departure as a chance to celebrate the person’s contributions. They often throw farewell events, acknowledging the employee’s #work and maintaining strong relationships even after they leave. This ensures that the employee leaves on a positive note and may even recommend the company to others, building goodwill for future collaborations. On the other hand, when companies humiliate or ignore employees during their notice period, they send a message to current staff that they aren’t #valued in the long term. It’s essential to remember that people leaving a job are likely to remain connected to the industry, and treating them poorly can harm a company’s reputation. A #respectful exit benefits everyone—both the individual and the organization—by fostering a culture of mutual respect and professionalism.

Exactly!!! Some companies think that once you resign, you are no longer an employee of the company and start treating you like a slave. They dump all the unnecessary work into your plate and ask you to finish it before you leave and also threaten that you'll not be given the relieving & experience letters. This way of treatment is insane..........

Friendly reminder to employees: you don't need a recommendation from your toxic employer if you already have plenty of connections built up. Friendly reminder to employers: mistreating employees as they exit is reminiscent of cult behavior.
