I'm just glad I left when I did. Not that I was an underperformer, I just expect that they have been letting go of everyone except for the top ranked people in each hiring class. When I left they said I was losing pay potential and a huge pay increase. 8 months later they started the purging.

I just know that after some of the layoffs, my company kept beating out EY for some projects. So even if partners estimate there is opportunity, they can't always predict their success. One thing I haven't heard anyone mention is the huge expense EY is paying for Rackspace and NUIX. Those contracts are too expensive and anyone who was involved in getting them has already been shown the door.

Associate 1... new round, ~40 FIDS folks given notice this week

Nothing to see here

Ey1, I think maybe 1-2 seniors who had some HR issues. Bigger question is if they have changed enough in the practice so that this doesn’t happen again in 3-6 months. My thinking on that is that they have not

Latest: Senior 3s not being put up for promotion/asked to transfer or leave

OP what industry focus?

F&I this time - previous round was FTDS

I’m assuming the senior thing applies across the board?

For the Senior 3s being asked to leave or transfer... concentration in any particular industry? Financial, Life sciences, Insurance?

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations.
