Anyone heard about layoffs??? 👀

Recently laid off and looking for recruiters that specialize in media/strategy/advertising (both agency and client side). Sure there are others looking as well - would greatly appreciate any info.

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

What are everyone's thoughts on resume services/coaching? I am a leader/exec that was laid off (first time) and have spent over 15 years in various roles such SVP Operations, Senior Director Product, VP Solutions, etc. at different companies.

I am struggling with putting my experience/qualifications on paper...

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

Had a fight with my MD or let's say more like argument. After that the next 2 months was endless nitpicking and pulling me for mistakes that aren't really in my control.

Post 3 months, I apply for a transfer. Transfer process delayed for some process reasons
No negatives/issues in my f22 feedback. Utilization above target. Way Above average
Recently fired without reason
Who should I escalate to?

PS: Ignore typos. Written in anger

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Thinking about starting an OF... since we aren’t getting raises this year. In all seriousness, I like being watched. But I’m too afraid to be found and get fired. My husband has a job now so maybe I can finally live my dream. Thoughts?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Goldman layoffs hit quick. 🫡 good luck out there

Hearing of layoffs with some Chicago agencies. MSL...Porter...Ketchum...others? Sign of bad economy coming? Hate to sound skittish, but I lived through 2008

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?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Was recently laid off by EY, can anyone here from industry can refer? I am from Tax and would like try out industry opportunities. Any help is appreciated.

Lots of people loosing jobs due to Layoffs. Please ping me I can refer you in Accenture!

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

If the layoff is not necessarily to go through performance improvement plan, then is there a standard dashboard look to evaluate ourselves about how close we are at?

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

For all you Toronto transplants on here... what brought you to the city?

Is MBB serious about DEI? How is the environment for minorities (both at the bottom and top, including for East/South Asians)

How is performance measured at MBB?

Does McKinsey insurance (USA) cover laser eye surgery?

What are M7 MBB recruiting timelines ? Considering applying right now to MBB, but if I get rejected I’m going to do an MBA, will I be blacklisted from applying for summer internships if I get rejected this fall ?

Does Bain and BCG have an implementation arm similar to McKinsey Implementation?

Layoffs for Deloitte- who is doing them? How are they being delivered? Who schedules?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Any entrepreneurs out there that feel like there’s a million things no one told you before starting your company? (Good&Bad) 5 years in myself and nearly could write a book with my list of sh*t no one told me… curious to know what’s on your list???

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

How hard is ITIL 4 foundation exam compared to PMP and AWS CCP? Debating whether I should take training classes or just study the book. Ty!

Entering my 15th week unstaffed for the year. Does Deloitte do layoffs for low utilization? Mine is around 60%

What are some great books that you’ve received or been recommended by a rockstar manager? Something that actually had a tangible impact on your work habits, productivity and performance. If you’re a manager then what are some great books that you’ve given to your team members etc.?

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

Men's fashion enthusiasts, I'm looking for a new brand of suits since my go to brand is not as plentiful as it used to be. I usually try to scoop up a Hugo Boss on clearance. Any other suggestions?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Is it advisable to relocate to different address when your perm labor certification is under process?

Reflecting on my pwc internship a couple years ago. One of the fellow interns brought a Deloitte bag to Intern Olympics, when asked why, He responded- "so the managers know I have options" 😂 savage

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

Fishbowlers - do you book your vacation and ask for forgiveness later, or ask for the green light from your PM and then book?

Any tips/warnings/advice on potentially trying to move from Big 4 to either MBB or a T2 boutique firm? I’m anticipating reaching M1 in Big 4 within the next 12 months. I really like my current practice, but frankly as I eye comp across the bowl, I’m hungry for more elsewhere, even with the recent Big 4 bumps. I have 5 YOE (3 consulting, 2 industry) all within somewhat niche subject matter, as well as my MBA (non “prestigious” school however). Any thoughts or clarifying questions are welcome, TIA

BBHoF results are out! Do Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?

How does end year profit sharing work in EY for new partners? Any idea how much it was per partner in UK last year roughly?

Consulting is like Westworld. You relive the same life/project over again, each time is a little different, but ultimately you are searching for a deeper meaning.

It's such a game changer adding another blanket to your bed. You slip into a whole new level of chilly night snuggle you didn't know existed
