I know someone that did. He just didn’t try, fell asleep during meetings, showed up late to presentations, goofed off on his phone all day, and was rolled off his last 3 projects. Finally got the boot

Yes. Many. M

Don’t the majority of people who leave our firms involuntarily do so for performance reasons? It is not like consultants go around punching people in the face…

Yes, and at all levels. We have few As that it happens to, but it does. MDs happens quite frequently, especially on a percentage basis. Seems more rare at SM since people that make it that far get it, and want MD or SP.

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?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

TELUS culture is one of the strongest aspects of Telus.

Telus is one of the most friendly and encouraging companies to work for. Telus doesn't layoff unless it has too (Telus will place you elsewhere instead).
