Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about? Many seem to still be having a hiring push but with the button falling (IMO this is still just start we have a long way to go to bottom out) will that halt and layoffs ensue? And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

Anyone have insight to what the plan is at UpStart for example?

Any minority lawyers in here that were blacklisted from big firms for a time gap or after layoff? How did you move forward?

Accenture CEO said on earnings call that accelerated performance cycle will help manage low performers at greater pace if need to pull levers.
More layoffs are incoming soon.

About last layoffs, we didn't do any layoffs it's cost adjustments mostly in operation centers and restructure due new growth model. 🤷‍♂️

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Gonna join PwC M&A tax. What would be the market like if there’s another financial crisis (hopefully not). Are we the people who will be laid off first? Or we will be pulled to do tax compliance? Thanks.

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Curious questions! What are the things offered by companies after laying off their employees? Do they pay 3 months severance? Or not?

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

McK & BCG Folks - Any news on salary increases in your London office? Do you think it's likely there will be a compensation increase by end of year or do you think they'll just offer a COVID retention bonus and leave it at that?

Didn't renew lease. Scared I wouldn't be able to find the next home, especially an affordable one with this current market.

They should extend covid rates

How important are snapshots in pwc and how to handle them

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
I am not sure what is wrong...
When I apply with referral, my resume always pass screening and shared with managers. But then no response.
When I get feedback on my resume and experience, people always mention "impressive". I feel desperate...Being in less challenging role at Amazon makes everything worse.

I am Finance Analyst. Any suggestions? Ideas

What is the salary range for senior managers in Seattle area?

I live in a condo w maybe 50 units currently half full. Our gym is still open. Rarely more than one person in it. My SO was pissed I went and said that’s breaking quarantine. Ridic or should not go?

Anyone has good couch recommendation? Had the current couch for a few years and the cushions are sagging. My back is not liking it. Is it a matter of time when all couches sag? After all we're sitting on it everyday.

Received an offer for a company and they want me to sign a restrictive covenant agreement. What is this and should I be worried? Have never had to sign this before. If I reneg on this offer will I be held liable? I’m in 2 other processes thanks.

People who have transitioned from consulting to industry or an objectively less demanding role (i.e working 40-45 hrs a week), what makes you feel good about your decision? After a decade in client services, I’m reaching a breaking point and can’t see consulting being sustainable with a young family. But I’m so achievement-driven that I’m having a hard time taking my foot off the gas; I know seeing peers advance once I’ve stepped away will be hard. For context, I’m F and ~8 yrs away from Partner

No promotion or raises in my office because of COVID. We ve done a brilliant year until March and the business is not (yet) impacted. I feel it’s unfair. (Continued in first comment)

Was at dinner with my mom yesterday and we got into an argument about me not wanting to tell her how much my salary is. I had no problem telling my parents right out of college but just feel kind of weird about it as I progress in my career. She said I am getting a big head and I replied that the exact reason I don’t want to tell her how much I make is because I don’t want to brag/ have a big head. Should I tell my parents how much I make for the rest of my life? Am I over thinking it?
