Lmao. Your performance is that bad OP?

"Laid off" no. "Fired" yes. Laid off is not performance/cause-related and is dependant on the firm's financial outlook. If you're on a project then you're generating revenue / positive cash flow and won't be laid off. If your project is suddenly cancelled and they don't think your skillset will be able to generate revenue over the next year or so then they might lay you off

Make sure you are a key member and team can't do it without you, you'd won't be fired.

I’ve seen it happen in groups at PwC where they were forced to cut headcount and politics came into play. It’s unusual, but it can happen when there are major layoffs occurring.

Yes, I have had that on my project

Yup

Had a guy who was rolled off. Monday call with partner and left the firm on Tuesday.

So anyone seen a layoff while staffed and performance is NOT an issue?

Seen layoff while staffed but pretty sure they were all performance issues

Yes, specially with the new stupid performance review process. I just saw 10 layoffs in the Cybersecurity advisory area. All were staffed.

@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.

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
