Layoffs

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

I was laid off from Deloitte in the 18th. I have an interview with Amazon for a Senior Program Managers Non Technical position with Amazon hiring manager on Monday. Any advice would be much appreciated. I would love to get into Amazon. I hear their interview process is brutal.

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

If I just chill on the bench for long will I still only get fired at the end of the year?

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

Did BCW NY just layoff it’s EA staff?! Seeing a bunch of these names on Connect and very upset that great people were let go!

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

Anyone hear talks of layoffs in Advisory? I know my office is laying off Assurance and BTS (Tax) staff but haven't heard much of Advisory yet.

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

Why don’t recruiters tell you upfront about the role they contacted you about? I had a message from a recruiter yesterday from a recruiter about a copywriter role she’s working on...

I'm considering applying for all the Contact Tracing jobs I keep seeing. Any clue what the pay is?

Hi All, I'm moving to a Corporate
Development & Strategy role at the
analyst level (fintech focused) I
wanted to get some transparency on
how much I should be asking them
for comp (please let me know base
and bonus)

My past experiences is I was a
investments banking intern at
Citigroup on the M&A team and was
a Private Equity Summer Analyst at a
healthcare focused fund. For the
past year after I graduated I've been
working in a rotational program
that's focused on institutional sales.

Would anyone know how much a VP would make at companies like Egnyte, Immuta or Segment.

Anyone who plays badminton or squash casually here?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Confession: Sometimes I’m afraid to ask for more resources in my role, because what if I have everything I need to succeed and still come up short?

Anyone else experience this and successfully push through that fear?

Have you implemented a translation plugin on your WordPress you really like? Ideally I’d want one that allows us to edit content for better accuracy.

Got an offer from pwc in the data privacy role.
With 13.5 Lpa currently i’m at 12 and made switch on march.
Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
