layoff

Read a random definition: nominal value

A quick definition of layoff:

Layoff is when an employer ends someone's job, either temporarily or permanently. Sometimes, many employees lose their jobs at the same time. This is called a mass layoff. There is a law called the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that requires employers to give notice if they plan to lay off a lot of people at once. This law helps employees prepare for the loss of their job and find new work.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Layoff refers to the termination of employment by an employer, either temporarily or permanently, especially when many employees are let go at once. It can also be referred to as a reduction in force.

Example: A company may lay off a large number of employees due to financial difficulties or restructuring. This means that those employees will no longer have a job with the company.

Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act: This is a federal law that requires employers to give notice of a plant closing or mass layoff at least 60 days before it happens. The notice must be given to the employees, the state-dislocated-workers unit, and the chief elected official of the local government where the layoff is to occur. For example, if a factory is closing down and 500 or more full-time employees will lose their jobs, the employer must give notice under this law.

The examples illustrate that a layoff is when an employer terminates the employment of many employees at once, either temporarily or permanently. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act is a law that requires employers to give notice of a mass layoff or plant closing to the affected employees and government officials.

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points
