President Discussions
Layoffs

Just learnt that one VP in my client (ibank) suddenly disappeared (laid off). Which is very scary as her work is good, what is the most scary laid off story you have heard?

I don’t think I’m qualified for a lot of jobs. I don’t know basic functions. How does one “fake it til you make it” in industry and not get fired?

A couple of months ago I was hired by Amazon as an Automation Engineer, but got fired after a week due to a positive drug test during the medical visit that is done during the first days.
Any thoughts?

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Anybody else think next year is going to be worse for layoffs than this year? A lot of clients are setting up their 2021 budgets and allocating very little for capital projects. Seems like next year will be extremely light since customers aren’t spending as much. Hence more layoffs in consulting.

Anyone else hear about layoffs coming for S& people with low bill-ability? Heard this from a PwCer...any specific industry or region targets?

PWC AC Bangalore doing mass layoffs? Is it true?

Has anyone here everyone stood up for themselves or someone else on a internal call with their director/partner? Like if they were bullying someone? Curious to see what happened after or if that is something that can get you fired. Our director is a bully to others and if they ever come at me I’m going to stand up for myself but wondering if breaking the professional boundary is worth it.

Is it possible to not put a two-month job on my resume? (I worked at the firm for two months and then got fired along with some other people because of the boss) . Will background check discover this?

Has anyone been fired from Oliver Wyman before? What was it like?

Soo as I scroll my feed I see a headline saying, " PWC facing 3 major trials that threaten its business that can break the firm." Is that explaining all the layoffs?

Why does PwC need layoffs again if the business is doing well?

Also, curious to know what are the other “business reasons” when your util and snapshots are great?

What is your contingency plan if you get laid off?

If you have been laid off before in the past, what did you do, and what would you do differently?

PwC folks who got laid off, what reason were you offered for that?

Laid off and come to find out much of it was because a director under me sold me out. And I really tried my best to help him but after 3 months I felt blindsided. Why does this industry suck?

Got laid off from uncle D. Is there a way to break my apartment lease without paying lease break fines ? In my contact it’s 3 months worth of rent! Currently in Florida. Any input will help. Thanks

This will mean massive layoffs right?

What is the severance if you get fired as a Senior Associate in PwC Advisory?

Any idea how bad it looks to recruiters if I got laid off from a tech startup 3 weeks ago due to org restructuring and lack of business during these times?

I am currently looking to go back to Consulting but not sure how this would look to recruiters. I appreciate any help, thank you!

If you are a management consultant with no hard skills or focus area, what skills would you invest in now (during quarantine) to prep for layoffs or exit opps — in the COVID / post COVID economy?

Looking for a treadmill for a standing desk. But also want one that I can run on. I would like walking distances to go up to 4-4.5 and running up to 8-9 mph. Would be great to have one of those that the rail and be moved and the treadmill placed under the desk for walking. Incline would be great. Any suggestions or is it technically not feasible to have all of this in one machine?

Thoughts on Pitch LA?

15+ people have left my company in the past 5 months (180 person startup) mostly due to low pay /poor management, but mainly low pay. I enjoy my role, and believe in the company to the point that I want to do something about it. Have any of you managed to help reduce turnover rate as an IC? Any suggestions on how to approach this especially since I’m not in HR?

Ok I’ve yet to get a real offer since the pandemic layoffs. Any recommendations for recruiter/resume services? Left off with 3 years of IT product management and 10 years customer success/training management.

When can i expect offer letter from LTI ? I had submitted my documents on last Thursday and salary discussion done on Friday.

I am a SAP Consultant with ABAP technical experience of 7 years. Currently having CTC of 25.5 LPA. Now, I have cleared tech and managerial rounds for a product based company. Please could you advise how much % of the hike I should expect? Considering I have been working in the same domain for more than 2 years and I am a suitable candidate for this opportunity.

Pls suggest and help. Thank you in advance!
