Any large law firms in Canada quietly doing layoffs right now?

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

Hey Accenture Team!
I’m a L9 consultant based out of San Francisco, California who was impacted by recent lay off at Accenture. I wanted to understand as per WARN Act California employees are to be given at least 60 days notice, however I was only given 3 weeks notice. Can I challenge this?

Interested in a San Francisco/Bay Area networking/support group for consultants that have been laid off?

I’ve been having reoccurring nightmares about getting laid off :(

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

Anyone know if all the layoffs have been completed/announced yet? Honestly, I love my job and there's nowhere else I'd rather work. Want to know if I can exhale yet.

Update got fired: Based on previous post to pick up a Lower CTC (offer $$) or not
I'm planning on taking a lower money job

How's a response to my future hire a year later

I got laid off due to covid. I picked up this opportunity to pay my bills (40% lower Money)

So had to do this for a while

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Too quiet in this bowl. Just like everything else in Canada! Come on, lawyers!

Received an offer from the DOJ for a 2 year contract, doing work which seems more interesting/engaging than what I’m doing right now (insurance defence) - but for just over 9% less than I’m currently making, and the partner track has been outlined for me at my firm..feel like it’s not worth trading higher long term earning potential for contract + pay cut just because the work is more engaging..but on the other hand, ID is starting to bore me..thoughts/refs to anyone at DOJ would be appreciated
