Partner Discussions
Layoffs

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?

Any rumblings about Partner layoffs related to the #metoo movement yet?

Had a glowing fantastic performance review last year. This year no review, just a meeting with managing partner and HR to tell me I am fired and to leave now. No bad performance. Is it just the money?

P1 - can partners be fired? I was one of the #metoo posts, a partner cornered me trying to get into my hotel room (both hands on both sides of me), luckily I was able to get out of the situation. This partner is still at the firm, haven't said anything. No physical evidence (no texts, emails, etc. so HR/legal wouldn't do anything). What do we do, P1, when this happens?

Have you or anyone you've known told your manager/partner that you don't plan to stay... and gotten fired? How bad was it?

How do I have the conversation with a Partner about writing a letter of rec for a PhD program? Will I put myself a risk of being laid off if I express interest in continuing my education?

Got a mysterious invite with a senior partner to "catch-up" on Friday.....thinking D is going to let me go. Anyone know what sort of severance package I can expect? It has been an amazing couple years

Have you ever been on a team/project where the entire team was "fired" by the client, up to the partner? Will this impact lower level members who really weren't to blame?

At ACN, who actually tells you you are getting laid off? HR, your CC, or Partner or a combo? Just checking for a friend of mine.

Layoffs in D Advisory coming soon. A partner asked me to get 40 hours from whichever sources I can for next 4-6 weeks

Heard from a secondary source that a Deloitte partner said that ~ 30% of the analyst class was laid off (excluding tech consulting) that can't be right...right? Seems so high.

Told a partner I am pregnant and was asked what I'm going to do after the baby....ummm work? Am I already fired?

Ex big4 told me that the best talent leave, bottom gets fired and the middle performers make partner or stay. He's now CFO at a start up. Not amazing but definitely better off than me
