Anyone know if there is a typical staff level priority for layoffs with big 4? i.e directors first, analyst last. Partners not bringing in business go first?

VERY hard to layoff a partner.

1) Directors who focus on pipeline but don't or struggle to bring in business

Well what about a non billable manager vs associate. Obviously the associate cost a lot to at least significantly less

More likely staff go first, not fair but true

Thank you pwc 1

P1 interesting

I think P1 is mostly right. Second year senior, trying to get promoted this year.

d2 By got hit, do you mean layoff or just terrible promotion. do you think your federal layoffs are a lot less than commercial side? Not relevant to my situation but curious. KPMG fed practice is tiny. So prob more at risk than commercial

It easier to shit can the junior staff

Layoff

I know nothing about federal sorry

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.
