I know OP. I was thinking I would ask my cc (who I assume knows). For me, there will be no other conclusion because my practice lead barely knows I exist. This is not true for everyone however so good luck OP. I hope that it is something else entirely!

I had a counselee in this situation several years ago. They gave me a heads up including full details of severance package they would provide but I was not allowed to share with counselee. Counselee had a meeting scheduled with an MD and a person from HR. Meeting got pushed out once due to the MD having a client meeting. Then my counselee got staffed the day before his rescheduled meeting. Meeting was cancelled and he never found (at least definitively) that he was a day from being laidoff. He still works here 5 years later.

I have not seen this at Accenture. I don't think a 1:1 with the MD = layoff. But, best of luck. Even if it is, you have experience and will land on your feet. Often a layoff turns out to lead a person to a better opportunity

like

What a cold process. But grats to your counselee.

like

OP, I've been here a long time and this is not how we do lay offs. Also, did you receive an email from HR yet? You usually get two warning emails from HR - first email at the 4 week mark saying you should get staffed asap before getting "counseled out". Another email a week or two later with the same message and then when it's time, you'll have a meeting invite with an MD AND HR in it.

If they had changed the process in the 5 years I've been here, then best of luck!!

One question Op, what if you had gotten staffed on a non-Strategy project, say with Accentures Consulting practice? Would they still have let you go?

OP- you are clearly doing to be just fine. This is Accenture's loss. I'm not really clear how anyone the practices are doing. It could be any of us.

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.
