CRT is over and I was wondering if PwC will layoff people this year in Cyber as certain markets are not performing well.

I don't think it's a falsehood to say that if people are underperforming, the firm will seriously consider severing ties with those individuals. It's not a layoff (in the general sense) but a performance issue. Not unlike many of our competitors during this time.

P4 is right. 5's are being exited by June 30th. Some 4s may be exited as well. But, none of these actions are a layoff or RIF per se. Just normal housecleaning at the end of the fiscal year.

Cyber performed well

Folks who got 5s are pretty much gone already. Those are the only "guaranteed" staff reductions in late May-early June each year. A handful of others who are good folks but perhaps not long term consultants have been offered transfers to other practices or internal roles. There is little question that there was overhiring last year but it's evening out. This is in reference to Advisory only, I have no idea what's up with Assurance.

I thought cyber is booming?

Assurance or Advisory?

Sorry - meant to add that this approach is agnostic to your LoS or competency

@PwC 4 and 5 - The 4s and 5s are being / already have been exited while those remaining are getting hefty raises within Assurance. There hasn't been much rhyme or reason on the timing though. Some Managers were in May, then some Senior Associates, and now Directors.

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
