Excited to see how the quickly the firms can decide to compensate us less. 🙄 Anyone think they'll act this fast to put bonuses back on the table on the off chance we have a V-shaped economic recovery?

likesmart

Agree, reduced bonuses were coming. This is the perfect excuse

I am very grateful that I work for EY. If PBB is the only thing there is nothing to worry about. Think about how everyone still has their employment with EY. I wouldn't work anywhere else. Thank you to all the leaders of EY.

They can always bring it back if things turn around. Not that they would but that would piss people off less than finding out last minute no one gets a bonus.

Maybe I’m just a total idiot, but is the firm somehow losing money? Do companies suddenly not need audits or tax returns?

Clients won’t pay timely or will ask for fee reductions. So yes, budget forecasts must be revised and then the easiest cost to adjust is professional staff salaries.

Just performance bonuses. Raises will still happen, including agile promotions, but June 1 now. You will still get promotion bonuses.

Performance Based Bonuses. If the firm makes its profit goals then they pay out bonuses based on “performance” for the year.
