July 1st isn't too far off. We usually wait until September to begin our lay offs anyway.

July 1 is closer than you think.

Usual layoffs and separations happen around July-August anyways. Announcing this as some unique event just makes for a great branding and marketing piece.

Source: I was laid off on July 25th three years ago from booz allen.

It’s not as entrepreneurial as you think when it comes to non-staff aug projects outside of DC metro. Everything operates at a razor thin margin, and the firm was losing a lot of general management and strategy work back then on the west coast. The new contracts didn’t support travel either.

I went back to b-school and went to an MBB.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
