Does consulting firms layoff or terminate for performance if macroeconomic conditions and mixed feedback from projects were stated as reasons? Does getting terminated by a consulting firm affect future prospects of getting hired at other consulting and non-consulting firms? What is a professional response to give in job applications about reason for job ending?

I’ve just learnt that my SO had reported on her creepy manager at a startup few years ago and got herself fired 2-3 weeks later. They asked her to signed some sort of NDA to collect severance. Does anyone know what type of legal assistance she can still look for if any? Any advice much appreciated.

I was laid off a job and I was looking for a new role. A recruiter that owns his own recruiting firm reached out and we spoke a few times. I sent him my resume and he referred me to a client of his and I went through one interview after the screening call and then I heard nothing from both the company and the recruiter after reaching out several times. Months later he messages me because he found “the perfect role” and he calls me on my cell phone randomly. I always ignore him. So unprofessional

Its really dehumanizing to refer to individuals laid off in a recession as low performers. Most consulting firm will over hire and cut people in a bad economy. Though they specifically target performance, departments have to make budget cuts to survive hence finding someone to cut out of their group.
