I think he was just on the bench too long. I don’t necessarily think it was a performance issue. I have a lot of empathy for him. It makes me anxious since I went through some financial hardship as a child. So it triggers all my childhood insecurities.
Samesies, this industry can trigger so many things. It’s hard being insecure in consulting ha. I speak for myself there :)
OP reach out to him and tell him ill refer him to pwc
Agreed, I have some friends who got counseled out before during an economic downturn. It’s easy for people to feel like they’re lucky or were better because they’re still there. What I’ve realized is most important is to realize the system is larger than any and all of us and to have empathy.
It’s tough no matter who it happens to. Thanks for being empathic and sensitive to it.
No, at Big 4. Though I also knew colleagues at WMP who were laid off. It is tough no matter the person and place.
Did he/you see it coming?
