EY2 what?

Yes. I've seen it first hand. His promotion to partner was already announced and circulated, along with the others that were promoted to partner. It was going to take effect for about 3 months. Shortly after the announcement, he was reported via the ethics hotline of an ethical violation. I know what it was and it was actually quite small, but it went directly against what the firm has already said on the matter. He was placed on leave immediately, and fired less than 24 hours after that. It was really crazy.

*the promotions weren't to go into effect until about 3 months after they were announced.

Yes I've seen it too. The one I saw was for super aggressive positions that the firm find out about

I've heard of that - a senior manager was making up mileage and stuff for reimbursement, then didn't get promoted because they scrutinized their expenses and found it.

Ey1 - they always give 30 days notice of promos - so unless you are talking about 15 years ago - I call bs

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
