Accenture squad...with our fiscal year coming to an end and ratings about to begin, should we expect to see layoffs similar to Deloitte and PwC this year?

Depends on your industry. Consulting and Strategy has done a lot of house cleaning already. I suspect App Services will address via cost cuts versus firing.

If you are in consulting you only have until July 20th to recover feedback on your priorities so be sure to get on that!

Totally depends on the OG/Practice. Strategy already had its culling, but I can see the Staff Aug type of work (DevOps, PMO, etc) getting impacted. We're in/entering a recession - can expect client/prospect finance departments to take the ol' red pen to a lot of "line items".

In the same vein, CapEx work will be reduced at clients expecting to be more bearish in the next year.

The ratings process is not going to be the same as it was... Expect to see more layoffs for sure. They have already brought the hammer down on people on the bench for a short time real quick

I welcome the new process - marginalizing impact from HR, making it more client/portfolio and practice-driven. Assuming you're a solid performer and know how to grow and maintain a sphere of influence, helps with promotion decisions.

.

How bad is it that I don't remember what my priorities are? I entered them in PA by our team deadline months ago.

Oh shit, I haven't done my priorities yet

I think the writing is on the wall.

Is federal relatively safe from layoffs?

I love the names some of you are using to describe our units. Super cute.

There was a call on Tues for all consulting resources. It was recorded and they will be sending out materials that include answers to the questions asked in the chat that we didn't get to. Please watch the recording and review the materials once they come thru!!!

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application.
