D is straight up toxic right now. We are already going through layoffs, making life and projects extremely stressful. But, to add to that, we are being expected to work ridiculous amounts of hours to cover people we have lost and cover more firm initiatives. No balance and no guarantee of safety. I'm seeing fully staffed people (who did great work for years) getting let go now. Morale at an all time low.

Right!? That's what we are being told lol. We were on a project call and they were like, so you might have heard X and X was let go. Immediately afterward, I'm finding out I've inherited all of their work!

Deloitte knows layoffs and RTO initiatives decrease morale and employees sense of psychological safety the point is to get you to quit. They don’t care

D2 I’ve been doing that for 4 years now lol

Everyone thinks I’m working 60+ hours a week - in reality I’m clocking in 25 tops. I was 100% billable for the first 3 years and till April this year. Now I’m 80% billable until October

Sounds very familiar. I was at D during Covid times, and whole teams were let go, irrespective of their performance or tenure. Sorry to hear that it's happening again.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
