Deloitte just announced 2500 people in Europe

Europe they get indemnity... we need to worry about themselves in this country that only thinks about $$$

Honestly, too soon. Wait for a bench to stick

Exactly.
Firms won't fire just cuz bench is deep. They may get sudden demand tmrw.

They need to become worried about their pipeline in relation to the bench. If a bench stays large for a while, it is indicative of a broader problem. Sudden shocks happen could just happen if a couple key clients stop. That's solved by redeploying to other/new clients.

When you can't, that's when you have to triage.

It’s knocking on our door but too soon to say definitively

Nah, apparently projects are still getting sold. Just keep doing your job as usual

Ouch

Deloitte M&A IT is sold out so unlikely here.

Ok, thank you.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

Hi team i have a bit of doubt.
I have an excel sheet where column A is the order numbers. I want to add comments in column G.
There are many repetitions in order numbers but they are all sorted in ascending so all the repetitions are below one another.

If i have a comment, how can i automatically paste that same comment in all the repetitions of that order numbers if i write it in the 1st instance.

Thanks in advance
