I'm not sure it helps everyone, but I think it can be helpful to remember the macro context that layoffs are a very typical part of the consulting employment cycle and that many of our peers/competitors are having to make similar hard decisions. Further, there's a learning curve for smaller companies experiencing fast growing in how to continuously 'right size' to keep pace / continue growth without finding yourself in position of having over-hired when deal flow / demand tapers. The situation of present is far less an indication that the culture or the people here/past are anything less than excellent and more a natural consequence of trying to grow a business in fluctuating economic climates.

Stay strong and let the hard times serve as a relative backdrop against which the good times are even more appreciated over the course of your career.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

After a few weeks, some managers (who were under me) shared that there had been a while campaign raised against me for a couple of months by others VPs and shareholders. 1/2

Question: do y’all really love this stuff and understand it? Or are you all on the “fake it til you make it” wave?

Some even do “night time reading” to catch up on the recent laws. I, on the other hand, cannot wrap my head around it most of the time and would rather not waste energy doing it. Is it just me? What do i do? Quit?
