What?? I thought Strategy and Digital were the "hot sectors'. Isn't that our push to differentiate in the market? And two weeks before Christmas? Consulting is the weirdest industry out there.

Tons of layoffs happening now in strategy. Trying to get people off books before end of year. I assume same happening in digital.

Weird, I assume not enough sold and over hiring. So odd considering every other word is "Strategy" or "digital"

Word from above is that layoffs were specifically for interactive.

Just look at how the availability numbers dropped. Even though this is the slowest time of year. Or if you have an uptick in good-bye emails.

The ACN Strat bench has been amazingly heavy all 2016 and 2015. Layoffs were bound to happen.

In US. People are being counseled out (layoff) for low chargeability. As previously said, the bench has been super crazy for analysts and consultants. It's a necessary evil. Only so many people can get staffed all the time. Just make sure to network like crazy.

Not seeing layoffs in strategy, seeing managing out based on performance. We don't have enough people for the pipeline where I sit.

Interesting, I wonder which group in AI. Any specific locations?

Mobility looks all good for now. Good be small number of under performers after notice or too much bench time. Acquiring companies left and right so don't see that happening too broadly.

I know it's happening to some degree, but it's mostly people being counseled out... in other words, performance-based layoffs vs financially driven

Haven't heard of anyone in strat getting laid off. Would be curious about levels/groups otherwise I'm skeptical.

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

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

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
