Anyone else from LB hearing about more layoffs going on today?

If the economy slows, how do you think management consulting will perform? Can consultants expect layoffs?

Anyone else feel that people openly supporting trump in the office should be fired?

Deloitte tax projecting double digit (percentage) decrease to top and bottom line for FY21 - at least our office / region. Based on that, layoffs seem necessary. Fortunate that the folks laid off hit the market first; if the revenue decrease is truly that significant, have to imagine all other firms will be making the same difficult decisions.

If things don’t get better in the next few months , are we the first ones in the line of fire ? I feel that layoffs are imminent.

Any insight from Deloitte folks on the announced layoffs? Has anyone from PwC or KPMG heard anything similar? EY has left the door open for layoffs, but hasn’t laid out specific plans yet. It feels inevitable though. While I don’t think I’m on the chopping block (famous last words), I do worry about the morale impact on my teams and the office in general. Curious to hear other perspectives.

I just got laid off, and I’m not even mad about the job, but they literally didn’t even tell my CD before they let me go, then asked me not to tell anyone before they announced it to the network. I’m sorry, but on what planet am I not hanging up from that call and immediately calling my CD? Which is exactly what I did. They locked me out of my computer so I couldn’t even pass off files, plus it locked me out MID-call where I was being let go. Very professional. Also, my CCO didn’t even know. 🖕🏻

Share your experience regarding non traditional legal careers. My wife (a lawyer), got fired today for poor job performance related to her inability to focus as a result of ADHD/Depression. Though first time she been fired, she’s quit some firms for the same reason, in hopes of finding a better fit. Now she thinks traditional law practice isn’t right for her. Any stories or suggestions for non traditional legal careers? Open to all ideas/suggestions.

My lease is coming up and I’m on a temporary visa. Losing my job would mean I have to move back. Can I ask for a month to month lease? If I sign for a year and get fired I’m bankrupt...

Has anyone ever been fired from having a negative review posted about them on glassdoor? I was not able to name names or be that explicit with the title but it’s pretty clear who I’m talking about if you know.

What do you do when a junior flat out refuses to do work? Tried to staff a junior who told me she was at capacity…everyone is busy and she’s billing at 45-50 hrs a week while others bill 50-60. The staffing coordinator was the one who told me she’s available.

I heard S&P Global recently fired so many people from Ahmedabad, Gujarat location. Is it true?

Where is a new build???

What's the longest period of time you have had to wait to get credentialed before starting a new position?

Still wondering what would happen if I honestly comment on the capabilities and opportunities at a client site during my review discussions.

Funny how some firms have analysts at entry level that then get promoted to consultants, and others vice-versa. Wonder if it affects exit-opportunities at all 😛

What's more common for you? 1. using network to get on a project you really like. 2. HR staffs you on something without any prior communication.

What is the key difference between an analyst role vs. MBA level role in consulting at your firm?

New manager just walked up the street from the client site to tell me I couldn't email ppt files to clients otherwise they would "steal the info" But they already own all our work dawg..

I only want to be on enough travel projects to maintain my statuses and now that I've hit SPG Platinum, I am ready to GO HOME

Anyone seeking or thinking about doing a big 4 change to Deloitte in the DC/NOVA/MD area? Why might you be attracted to Deloitte vice where you already are?

I "need you to take this up a level but make it more specific" - what haunts me at night

Sunday, when you start looking forward to some solid client value creation on Monday.

The client doesn't do their easy task for 2 months- but the day after the client asks you for a massive, complex deliverable & it isn't final yet, they freak out. #doublestandards #goaway

Earned my AA exec plat only to start flying to Baltimore on Southwest😩

Just got an email from the partner saying that my new client thinks business casual is "weird" and I need to wear jeans and t-shirts to work. This feels like a trick. How the hell do I dress.

Managing Directors be like "Happy holidays! We wish you and your family only the best! ...but most importantly stay chargeable for our metrics"

After Delta delayed my flight I negotiated with them 15,000 miles as compensation for their mistake...

Rolled into my client site today with the top down on my 2015 mustang convertible rental, wearing jeans. Because I'm leaving the company in a few weeks and haven't told anyone yet
