Hey HR

Huh? They're not faking. It's 15-20%. I know two ppl who were let go from my team of 25. Two are leaving after crappy CRT results. Many others are looking to leave.

Are you performing a face-first colonoscopy?

Not fake. Open up your eyes OP. I was at level/partially above on all snapshots. Let go and wasn't even at a year

They mostly let underperformed go. I know that was the case in PS.

That's not completely accurate, at least in commercial. Obviously some under performers were cut, but many people who got screwed with bad practices, bad timing/pipeline or were simply paid too much cut as well. But what's the firm going to do? Admit to that? Of course not

I am not denying about the layoffs. There have been huge layoffs at PwC. But recently i saw a post where that person is saying he was promoted last week and was laid off this week. I don't believe that.

Agree that makes little sense... Nothing surprises me at this firm anymore, though.

Layoffs happen all the time. This is the first time there is a channel for anonymous consultants to post. For those who are new, welcome to Consulting 😈

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.

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
