Nah, this is where the grown ups who know what layoffs actually look like call it like they see it. Counseling out low performers and people with low utilization whose skillset doesn’t appear to be in demand is not the same as layoffs. Otherwise, we would be in a constant state of layoffs.

The only exception is FS, but their business model is feast or famine and unfortunately FS people don’t understand that the rest of the firm doesn’t revolve around them

Source: everyone on my practice is deployed to at least 3 projects. We literally can’t hire people fast enough.

Nope.

Low performers get the boot though, as it should be.

We do up or out. So that includes out. We don't do lay offs outside of that.

No, they aren’t.

There are no widespread layoffs - PwC’s revenue and headcount for the last 5 years is public info.

Rather not say, but it isn’t DDV.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting.

I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

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? 😞

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hearing there will be some heavy layoffs in Technology. Anyone have any details?

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
