2nd year consultant here. Partner on the project called me up and let me know that my manager is being let go this Friday, and wants me to step into his role. The manager doesn’t know this yet, contd.

It's sweet that you are upset about it OP but unless you sabotaged the manager there's not much you can do or need to feel guilty about. Letting someone go is a business decision usually due to that person's performance or some firm performance problem, neither of which are in your control.

like

Keep a heads down attitude the next 2 days. Don’t involve yourself in someone else’s problem. You can’t fix it & you don’t know the full story. Go to work, get your shit done, step up and move forward.

Is this about me? 😥

This guy must have done something BAD to get straight up fired that quickly... unless you guys are that different than us, if it were normal performance reasons, it would not be happening like this

The point is that deloitte gives and deloitte takes. As I’m being given this role, I can’t help but think that could be me one day.

OP.. very likely you don’t know the whole story. Such things don’t happen without a very good reason. It’s best to follow direction given by your partner in this case.

When you say "let go", could this just mean getting rolled off vs getting fired?

Totally agree it’s completely unprofessional for you to know this before the Manager does. I’m sorry you were put in this situation.

... and neither does the client. I’m happy to be given the opportunity but at the same time I can’t help but feel really bad for my manager.

Those who are staffed on projects who get let go usually means something bad happened or they really suck

Yea, the partner is rolling him off, or plain out firing him????

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?
