KPMG just laid off 4% of US advisory on Wednesday (around 400 people)

like

Thats crazy how hundreds of peop e just get randomly unemployedlike this

like

At this point it is mostly standard performance based separations + some targeted layoffs in contracting areas

like

It closer to 10% or advisory - the 4% was the total workforce and it was 450 not 400

I joined KPMG at the beginning of the year and have witnessed about 4 rounds of layoffs since - impacting 2000 ppl

Hasn’t been great for my confidence or mental state - but that’s just me being selfish because it’s had a much bigger impact on those who were directly affected

This is not factually correct. 2000 people have not been layed off - stop scare mongering.

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship.

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.
