Anyone else concerned of being laid off during this recession? 😓

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

Have an offer to start at Deloitte in July in Org Transformation consulting. If it doesn’t get pushed out because of the virus, is it a good time to switch firms in July? Concerned that layoffs may be imminent if I am so new to the firm. I will be coming in at the Consultant level if that matters.

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?

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Anyone else hear that post-CRT partners will get fired this year in commercial advisory? How the hell does a partner get fired....

NDAs - signed my first one as a part of a severance agreement. thinking about leaving an honest review for this company, but unsure about the liabilities that come with this. (NDA mentioned no defamation) leaning on the side of letting it go, but this employer sucked BAD and i want others to know. ik its hard to give a straight answer bc it depends on the agreement, but wheres the line between bad mouthing vs your honest experience?

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

Hi - I am on H1B visa and got laid off from my previous job in April. My 60th day will be June 28th. I got another offer from a company who has agreed to do an H1B transfer for me but it will NOT be done by June 28th.

What are my options? Do I have to go back to India and come back after H1B transfer is approved?

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

So, lay off until the pandemic blows over.

Does ey gds lay off?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

Late night thoughts and will probably delete this in regret but how do you deal with feelings of rage when seeing/hearing/experiencing injustices around the world? I’ve been trying to ignore them for a while now because 1) it can be too overwhelming and upsetting to engage sometimes 2) voicing my opinions on this subject has gotten me into trouble in my (“white”) workplace 3) i already have too much on my plate. I try and remind myself that God will deliver their punishments in His own time

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?

If I just chill on the bench for long will I still only get fired at the end of the year?

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read?

Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
