Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

We are all pretty similar

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.

No raise or bonus AND layoffs? Are you putting EY at IBM’s level?
Has PWC had lay offs?
Officially none. All performance based. But theres all sorts of whispers of more than usual layoffs. We'll see how things go after Oct 1...

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.

We are talking percents here, not raw numbers, just to be clear. Also, just referring to consulting

They’re all the same... but, Deloitte is the worst

EY is still the people’s first big 4. Have worked at both, Deloitte is definitely the worst
