Sometimes I wish I worked on the commercial side for the $, but today I got 3 emails asking for my availability for upcoming Federal roles and I’m counting my blessings 🙌🏼 so thankful that I don’t have to add layoffs onto my plate of mounting worries. Sending good vibes to my commercial counterparts

Question with regards to layoff talks. Are those who are being let go on the bench or being released while on projects? I haven't heard of many ACN layoffs in the former situation...

I just got hired a few months ago straight out of college. With these layoffs going on at ACN, I applied for McKinsey as an experienced professional applicant. I cannot sit here and wait until I get laid off. I hope for the best!

I have an interview this morning. How can I bring up that I was fired? The reason I think, was because the new boss wanted to bring his ppl and I was expensive (former boss was promoting me to acd)

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?

Layoffs at PwC were scale-back after total write-off of Booz acquisition. Company had been accumulating dead weight for a while (though some good people were let go too).

Hi guys, Got laid off due to COVID. Pretty distressed and worried. I rarely ask for help but would appreciate referrals for Consulting roles at MBB/Tier2 or Strategy/PM at big tech. Promise to pay it forward. I've worked as a management consultant for 5 years. Have experience in high tech, health care, retail, auto among others. Love leading & working across cross functional teams. MBA. Happy to send my resume over. Thank you very much 🙏

Is GPS business consulting (tech risk/internal audit) a stable career? Is it like commercial where you can get benched easily, get fired, or have to constantly look for projects to join/take you in? I’m assuming GPS is safer since they are often massive multi year contracts and always growing.

Will the file from deloitte HR show the difference between laid off and fired when reaching out to other jobs?

Has anyone thought about getting an lawyer due to a layoff?

Does anyone have a clear answer on why so many layoffs? Besides the “agency model is dead” crap. Is the economy bad? Are the other Industries laying people off too? This is getting scary.

Suggestions! Was put on PIP coz of last year's util%. Currently having intermin above expectations in PIP. PIP POC says BPOC(SM I haven't worked with) fired on him for giving a good feedback and asked to set unrealistic expectations w/o - clarity in requirements, supporting docs(tho they have it) and feedback. I have recorded the calls with PIP POC & coach telling that they can't go against BPOC and give a good feedback despite I meeting all the expectations. Should I show the rcrding to MD/HR?

Reminder to everyone: use your 2021 vacation time. Don’t let it pass you by just because you’re not traveling. Take a long weekend once a month to nap and eat chips in sweat pants all day. We all need to do our part to normalize self care, and sitting at home doing “nothing” is just as worthy of a vacation day as pina coladas on the beach.
