In a downturn like this, it’s inevitable. Accenture, like most mindless consultancies, has a profit margin they need to hit, and with fees being cut back, so must expenses.

It’s how all agencies work, regardless if they’re consultancy led, holding company led, or independent (eg. Wieden laid off 11%)

What is your point about Accenture? They lasted a lot longer before making any layoffs than any other holding company agency, and their biggest independent competitor (WK, who laid off even more).

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
