Senior Manager

Is this the week I get laid off?

For those who have been laid off, what does it look like right before? (like HR schedules a meeting with you?). I have this really bad pit in my stomach. No trolling or sarcastic stuff please.

What other firms are experiencing FS layoffs? Sounds like majority PwC based on previous posts.

On the bench for 9 weeks, starting on a new project next week and going on a 2 week vacation right after I join. Am I in danger of getting fired here? Had arranged the holiday 2 months ago and spend

Layoffs at Accenture?

How is the business going for all you consultants? Are your companies getting new projects? Any layoffs ?

Layoffs are coming

Anyone here from Deloitte who has been laid off or personally knows someone who did, and can give an overview of the process (who contacts you and how, what if you are staffed, what about GSAPers)

Any post-MBAs from Deloitte recently laid off that were expecting GSAP tuition reimbursement? If so, did you receive any?

At Deloitte now. laid off last year while on medical leave. Landed a new job with the help of a senior mentor and vouched for me not knowing my medical limitations. I just had to take sick leave again on the first project out of the gate. Dr is recommending 40 hours a week which will not fit the requirements of my director role. I feel like I need to switch roles to a non client facing role to be realistic in my health limitations. How do I make the switch and have the convo with w my mentor?

Just got laid off! What personal documents should I grab from my work laptop? What else should I remember to do? Sorry mind is a bit of a blur.

Aight fam. Spent last year on the PIP, almost got fired mid year, but worked on firm initiatives like a machine through the year, and killed it on client projects. Finally out of the PIP. Fuck yeah!!!

Is EY going to announce layoffs next week?

When do Q4 layoffs typically start? Right away or at end or throughout?

“If I said / did / acted the way the client just did, I’d probably get fired for it.” - Me, multiple times each day 💭

New hire here. No ratings? Wtf? How is that working out for everyone? How does the firm know who to reward the most or who is a complete dick that needs to be fired?

Damn. A gunman fired at Republican members of Congress. I don't care what your political stance is, things should never get violent.

Is there anyone at Leidos, CACI or Raytheon in the DC Metro who wants to refer my husband? He's in final adjudication for his TS/SCI with Full Scope Poly, but his entire team was laid off (COVID). Looking for another contractor to pick up his clearance sponsorship so they can use his intelligence and language skills (and so he doesn't have to start the clearance process from scratch).

Anyone else out there concerned that the market is going to go bear and we’ll be back to the days of endless layoffs and starving for projects?

Counselee is 90+ days behind on Corp AmEx and its suspended until paid in full. Charges include personal. Will she be fired?

Is it tacky to send goodbye letter to client?

People are saying it’s rare to get covid if you’re vaccinated (most recently 1 in 1000 breakthrough cases for MA) but isn’t that directly attributable to far less testing done now? I can understand it’s rare to be at risk for hospitalization, but do we really know how many people are asymptomatic and still spreading?

Just ruined Mother's Day weekend with somehow getting on topic of family issues. Congratulations to me! No coming back from this 🍾🍾🍾

Planning to quarantine w my SO in a cabin for a bit, but it doesn’t have internet and they want to charge us an obscene amount to install it. Does anyone have any portable internet solutions that can handle zoom calls, etc?

Hi everyone. Starting my MBA in the fall and have some time off beforehand. For those who are in an MBA program or who already completed theirs, is there anything you wish you brought to campus? I’m thinking specific clothes, technology, etc.? Kind of random, I know, but want to set myself up for success. I’m F and will be going to school somewhere with winter.

Option 1: Live in US, make 100k, wife unable to work due to visa restrictions, Option 2: Move to Canada, take a pay cut but now wife can work and combined income potentially more Which would you choose and why?

I get so sick of working with men who don't do their jobs, try to make you deal with issues they own. Ugh! I finally set boundaries with a coworker and was met with an interesting combination of condescension and cluelessness. "Feel free to check out after you report the issue"....Um, I'd love to, but you're refusing to call them and they keep blowing up my phone.

Moving from human capital consulting to Strategy and operations ( Health Tech) I have a master's degree in Human Capital systems and analytics. Do you think that would be an issue?

Good idea to jump ship now ? I’ve been thinking of looking for new jobs but not sure if it’s the smartest move given Covid. Will new companies pay me less and say it’s due to covid? Is it better to sit it out and then move when economy picks up? Currently working in Toronto and interested in Tech and analytics

Anyone selling a Herman Miller or know where I can buy a used one in the DFW area?

Everyday I think about quitting & how much I hate my job. When do I say enough is enough and quit? I have a family to support & a ton of student loans so it not like I can be unemployed. Just recently switched careers so it's unlikely I'd be able to find something better soon. I feel so trapped. Sometimes I have thoughts that if I'm seriously hurt I can take time off suddenly & have a real break but I know that's not good. (More in comments.)

I get really anxious when I don’t have much to do at work, I start worrying I’m going to get in trouble for being under utilized.. does anyone else ever experience this?

What kind of positions/jobs do MBA grads get at large tech companies?

Was reading an info article I received about "Reading Progress." I am copying the lead sentence from Monica Burn's June 21, 2021 article for you, but I really want to know if anyone is using this app. "Reading Progress is a new, free app built right into Microsoft Teams." It looks good to me on the surface for ALL teachers and is time efficient! Any thoughts?

On the hunt for an Accounts person with strong PM skills in NYC. Experience in youth culture/research/insight work is a plus. DM for details. Starting Mid-October.

My kid is under two. Thinking about having another. I’m a compulsive overachiever at work, but also feel stuck and burning out. I ebb back and forth between wanting a job that’s a step up from my current gig (bigger title, pay, etc.), or taking a lateral move (or even step back) to just get my mental health in check and have time with my kid. Can anyone relate? I feel like a hot mess but also “leaning in” is getting me nowhere.

So here is a hypothetical prompt for a fictional novel- What will happen if all the folks on H1B reach their frustrations limit at the same time and Decide on mass migration out of USofA? #H1Bfreedom

I have an internship ending next week and wanted to send two bosses thank you gifts but I don’t know of what to get. For reference one is male & his 30s with a young family and one is an adult female but her children are grown so something for the family is not as relevant. Ideas??
