Yes - it's a part of Project Fit. TR is trying to drain the IFS swamp. I'm supportive - lots of worthless IFS staff (lots of good ones though too).

Thought there was something in PwC news a while back? Partners and other internal folks have been talking about it for a while. Don't think it's any secret.

Its only impacting IFS - admins, office staff

Project Fit has been going on for a while, a number of IFS individuals have recently been told if they are a fit or not and many leaving this month. We had a similar exercise a year or two ago, was a huge disaster as they realized some of the people they let go were actually needed...they went out and rehired them at higher salary

like

No OP, if you are affected by Fit you'd know. And mentioning busy season I suspect you are not in IFS. Just work hard, speak to your leaders to see if any work is available and try your best and you'll be OK

Thanks everyone I appreciate it :)

Should I be worried then. I just finished my busy season and have been available this past week

I was originally in CORE but over the summer transitioned over to risk due to need. Currently in transition to Risk and good snapshots. So my busy season finished and that's pretty much it nothing due to poor results or such. But this fit thing got me worried

Only IFS. No impact to those of us in the practice.

@Specialist 1 - Agreed, support staff are most definitely appreciated. And we will certainly all feel it next busy season when they've cut too many ppl and the support staff are overworked.

Not that I've heard of

Me neither. I haven't even been seeing it at all but some people on fishbowl say it so wanted to confirm

Don't sweat it OP, it won't affect you 👍

Thanks PwC 7
