Guidehouse is doing layoffs

We are not doing layoffs.

Unless it’s from losing a contract or trying to exit that kind of work, TS/SCI and Poly folks aren’t getting laid off unless it’s related to absolutely horrid individual performance

I would be very surprised if SCI were getting laid off. They generate business no matter the cycle

like

No way, staffing poly folks is so hard there’s no where close to enough people in the system for all the contracts out there.

If SCI/Poly people are not getting scooped up it’s because they are radiating issues.

Even when contracts are lost the people get transitioned or whisked away fast.

Even if there is one, they have places to go

Hi everyone, share your blindsided layoff stories below so I can feel a little bit better about mine.

Covered a managers meeting for her yesterday, was with some senior members of the marketing team. A director opens the call with “we are so sorry about the impacts the layoffs have had on your teams today…” then noticed I was in the call and said “we are still notifying others so best to keep it under the radar” …25% of my team was let go three hours later with no warning😬

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go.

If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD. I have been able to manage this far with coping mechanisms but I recently got divorced, have four kids and a busy job with a lot of aspects that are new to me. Now I may get fired for “lack of attention to detail” and “missing deadlines.” I wish I had looked into this so much earlier. I’m two weeks into taking Wellbutrin but I think it takes awhile to kick in, my psychiatrist suggested starting with that…

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms.

I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.
