Anyone else find it ridiculous that Partners are projected to get the same raises / bonuses as last year, while we laid off 15+% of our staff?

@M1 you exemplify why Deloitte has become so pathetic - there isn't a team anymore just a bunch of people who only care about winning regardless of what it costs others. It showcases the sad new world at Deloitte. Today it's all about self entitlement - from the newer PPD's to the BTA's. Years ago when they were faced with lower demand the Firm elected to forgo incentive comp, raises and increased Partner payouts to retain talented staff for when business picked up. When it did they made a bundle - more than they would have saved with staff reduction.

The people I know who were let go were low performers who weren't good for business. Nothing wrong with cleaning house. And they fully funded AIP - I'm much happier trimming some fat and getting MY full bonus, thank you very much.

We had a great year revenue and profitability wise. S&O is not a great market for Deloitte right now, so we restructured how we do business. Heavier focus in tech, lighter focus in S&O.

It's not just partners getting bonuses...all of consulting is getting their bonus in SO...they are even given payouts to high performing Non bonus eligible staff.

Oh, and we pay out staff comp and bonuses before distributing earnings to partners, so there is a lot of BS in the comments above.

We did do what is best long term. 15% was only in S&O, and not to mention turnover was low this year which exacerbated the problem. Deloitte had to force the lower performers to leave. Trimming the fat is a strategic move. Retain the talent you want to keep, cut the rest loose.
