Here is how KPMG handled an announcement today re: a RIF:
We’ll be laying off people. We can’t tell you when. can’t tell you how many people. We can’t give you any details. But we WILL send you an email after this call with FAQs and the severance policy.

...no email was sent. So, now 1,000 employees are going to bed tonight confused and irritated AF.

Better than what we get in my business unit. Everything’s fine. Don’t worry. Another round of kool aid?

That's what they did to the admin community. They only said something once they needed ppl to decide if they wanted to op-into the severance package.

I just wonder how 1000 EA jobs can turn into 60 ASK positions. They want you to apply right away with a pay cut. They will feel the pain when we are all gone. It’s just a matter of time. Heads Up KPMG!

@KPMG - what is ASK desk?

EY has had this model for years. Most PPEDD's are assigned a remote EA not in their location and anyone else under that rank does not have access to any EA anymore.

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks
