Everyone was speaking badly about Deloitte in regards to layoffs. At least some people from EY even said they were happy they were at EY and not Deloitte because of the layoffs.

Then EY started laying people off. Where did this end up? Is Deloitte still the worst in regards to these pandemic layoffs, or did EY surpass them now? Or are they about the same?

Up until recently, Deloitte was the pandemic layoff king amongst the big 4, looks like EY caught up though now?

One received a lot of flake for choosing to be transparent, the others were quiet in their dealings and escaped much of the criticism. They are all just as good/bad.

I honestly think Deloitte handled it better. Super transparent and straightforward. EY has been very evasive and vague. They kept framing it as “performance based separation”, and people just started disappearing one day. Some don’t have any performance issues but got this bad label. Plus even with the layoffs, we still have no raise or bonus. Morale is record low right now and everyone is unsettled.

Deloitte had something like 5k layoffs? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m certain EY’s numbers are much lower. With that being said I’ll echo another post and say that the lack of transparency and what seemed to be an attempt to keep this on the low has made people pretty upset at the firm. I’ll take an honest and brutal approach vs. a pretty packaged turd.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. Im on the hunt for a new job and am fairly new to this lovely city. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.
