Layoffs

Making a huge mistake at work today and I haven't been with the firm for a year yet. I feel extremly horrible. How do I rebound from this? Crossing fingers I am not getting fire/layoff

Did EY announce anything about layoffs today?

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

8+ people were fired at Booz Allen Hamilton Middle East today!
Wondering how other firms are doing!

What do recruiters think of people who’ve been previously laid off at an agency due to loss of clients? Since it’s a common thing in this industry, does it cast a bad light on the applicant?

Anyone here who works at ARCA in PwC? How is that group doing? Any layoffs ya'll have heard of?

How do layoffs at EY work? I've heard of people being laid off...will there be more? Is it region by region or just an overall national thing? I'm a staff 1 and not sure how this all works

Any advice for lateraling as first-year business lit associate? I’m not getting any work at my current firm due to partner hoarding and overstaffing. Can I lateral this early or should I wait until I’m inevitably fired for low hours? If I should lateral now, what reasons for leaving should I give interviewers? Should I tell the truth or will it look bad on me?

We’ve been hearing about layoffs. Any companies you know for sure are in hiring freezes?

Do you “like” or congratulate someone to their new job on LinkedIn that you fired from your team just prior? Nice / professional or macabre / rubbing it in?

I just found out I’ll be getting laid off in a month. I’ve contemplated freelancing for a while but haven’t worked on more than 1-2 small clients at a time on the side of work. How do I know when it’s the right time to take the plunge into freelancing?

Layoff folks, how are you guys doing? I'm DREADING the upcoming busy season being a new senior handling new clients in a new company...

In today’s client meeting there were at least 5 times that I was imaging the following:
1. Interrupt the clients and say “shut up, that is the most stupid thing I’ve heard of”
2. Tell the clients in their face “you’re fired”
3. And tell the partner “Sorry, I quit”

But instead, I smelled and said “that is an interesting idea. Let us think about it and come back to you”

Is it a good idea to leave for another firm/industry given the recent layoffs at other companies? Imagine better to leave for a larger firm vs one that is still young or a startup?

I got laid off today and I’m scared

How's PwC's Financial Services Advisory model risk group? Work atmosphere? Amount of travel? Pay? Did the recent layoffs hit this service line very hard?

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

Who will be the first head coach to get fired in NFL this year?

When does the recession hit? How will consulting firms conduct layoffs?

Anyone experience their LO’s going through sleep regressions around 1.5 year mark? My daughter has always been a great sleeper but lately she’s been waking up around 3am every night sitting up in her crib and crying. Once I go in her room change her diaper and give her water, she seems okay and falls pretty quickly back to sleep. Any advise and suggestion is welcome!

Probably a dumb question but what does a 3 year tenure in a contract role mean?

it is surprising that Deloitte India has asked a 3 months notice period for an executive position. Need some tips to negotiate this?

Also, they said 15,000 wfh allowance will be given on joining but included it in the salary breakup and divided the amount through the year.

Inspired by the affair thread:

Has anyone gone on to LTR the cheater, mutually exclusively, and what was it like dealing with doubt/fear of them cheating again, or you having started as the Other?
