They aren't 'employed' so they can't be 'fired', but they can be 'separated' .

Yes but it's not as simple as non-equity staff obviously. Although at some firms the first year is essentially a probationary period so if you don't perform its relatively straightforward.

Yes but they typically just kind of fade away with no discussion

Sounds like it's more like a divorce. Do they write prenups? (Serious question) is there like a bunch of legal paperwork involved/ are they under a contract and the firm can separate from them if criteria not met?

Partner on my last project was asked to leave, resulting from a partner vote. The reason cited was lack of firm development, which we all thought was BS.. I think partnerships in some teams are pretty cut-throat.

Yea, mostly happens due to expense reporting type shit I hear

I don't know thenpaperwork but basically they won't buy back in - it usually happens at end of year in my experience. You have to really not perform I find, like square peg and round hole, these have been direct admits. Those who get promoted to partner, usually should be able to cut it or are connected enough. There are a few I see that got up to partner because they were a target group, be it focus area or a quota target the firm had, or someone basically waited their turn - like it or not that does happen

Yea EY isn't which is the one perk of a non-unit based system, the downside though is motivation and performance. At PWC and D, politics can be tougher and D is a sharktank, but if you perform you will take care of the other stuff. I wish we had more of that. Dead weight gets cut in that environment.

Not fired but bought out by p vote.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
