We have a bunch of low performers that need to be cleaned out. If we want to continue to grow aggressively, we need to have top performers and make the tough decision to get rid of those unable to keep up. Sorry for those caught up in this obviously, but it's a part of this business.

ATI only has double digit growth this year because of shit years in the past few years... No one is looking at it holistically!

That said, the review calls this cycle were tougher than in previous years and that's due to a number of factors such as time to Partner and trying to reduce our overall G&A costs. They already slashed non-consulting folks, have cut back on training, and increased refresh rates on laptops. Now it's time to go after the consultants. Just wished they would kick out the low performing Partners!

Well we also chopped out time to partner this cycle. So that means we had a few folks that fall outside the new grid and naturally will get counseled out

25 percent is not out of line. Seriously, all forms could get rid of 25 percent. Look at business schools and how much of s filter is recruiting and interviewing versus the job. 25 percent of consultants complain and moon on here for sympathy.

Net is supposed to be around 10% but some groups could be impacted more than others. Also not all groups are of the same size so 15-20% may be true for a group (still sounds high to me) and another could be 1-5% and both out council the same number of people

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
