The "layoff champ" decides to quit GDS since there aren't enough folks left to fire.

The Clients & Industries Leader, also known as "layoff champ", helped layoff nearly 1000+ GDS professionals across the globe in last 20 months - voluntary or forced. The Leader's first layoff happened in Feb 2024, hardly one month after the person joined EY.

Finally the person decides to leave EY after laying off a major chunk of C&I, hardly two weeks ago - just before the festival days in October 2025.

She used to post on Teams about how she bought a new villa in Whitefield or the countries she visited or her vacation trips during all these layoff chaos. Sooooo empathetic leader.

Surprisingly her Linkedin posts during the last three months (even though only 2 or 3 were posted) had the comments section disabled.

From what I understand, she was merely used as the face of all decisions, while the real decision-makers were Louie Mathew and the global leadership. Once the objectives were met, she was replaced with a new face and asked to leave.

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases?

And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.
