Did they send you this request on a Friday????

Sorry to hear but pretty effed up move to do it Friday. I was laid off earlier in my career from EY and the meeting was with partner and HR. They also told me to bring my laptop

Grab your ankles and kiss your butt goodbye. Sorry.

EY 1 sorry for not meeting your personal code of conduct as it relates to Fishbowl. Thanks for the reprimand. How's the new senior gig BTW?

Yeah, I'm in assurance @EY1

Yeah OP sorry to say, I'd recommend polishing the resume and applying this weekend. Sorry to hear. Assurance is a tough place right now.

What office?

Still employed?

yeah, meeting isn't until next Wednesday

Wtf...Wednesday??? They should have told you Monday or Tuesday. Sorry OP.

The layoff meetings in my office at EY in November were on Wednesday...

@OP are you in fso nyc?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
