Company had reorgs at leadership level in the last few weeks which has caused me along with my team to report to a new manager. She expressed she doesn't intend to make major changes and how my previous manager had glowing remarks about me and the team I manage. She wants to have a 1:1 to understand who is a rockstar , who can use the stretch goal, etc next week. that's normal right??? With layoffs and reorgs ....I'm a bit nervous and on edges

I guess it depends how the actual conversation goes. It is normal to have a conversation about where you currently are as a business and where you are headed and also setting some goals. If there are layoffs coming and a reorg, then yea, she may want to talk about who to cut, which is also normal. It’s unfortunate, but it is normal to talk to leaders about who will potentially be getting cut during the layoff. Sure, you won’t talk about that stuff to lower level employees, but yea, you do have the conversation with senior management, directors, VPs.

Personally, I try and collect as much data as possible and take a listening approach. It might be headed in a different direction than you think, so best to keep an open mind to understand what’s really going on with the company. Also, if it impacts your own job, although it does suck, at least you are in the loop and you are aware now. Better to know these things now than later so that you are prepared. In case your job is impacted, you have some time to start looking at other opportunities.

Yes that’s normal. Use it as a chance to uplift your team.

That’s normal. If you have had performance appraisals of your staff, she will most likely read them to see how they’re doing. Then use your comments to gain a better perspective on the team.

Manage your manager. Take control on the meetings

I got some good news that one of the accounting firms I associate with is starting hiring again for September 2020. If you have 3+ busy seasons with a Big 8 firm and were laid off or looking for work, feel free to message me for more details. I am paid for referrals, but I don't need the money so no hard sells😋 hoping to help our laid off accounting people. Admins feel free to delete it not appropriate.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

So what’s happening in the local shops? Layoffs? Hiring freezes?

laying off 1250 people and forcing everyone who didnt get laid off to make a post "offering support" doesnt make it better that you failed to plan appropriately and view your employees as dispensable when the going gets rough.

Dont buy into the propaganda these tech firms are putting out. And dont be that person with stockholm syndrome thanking your employer for a "great experience" when they threw you to the wolves as soon as it suited them.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.
