Not an EY fish but at PwC I've heard of people getting no warning

U got a 1?

No a 3, but I can't find any billable work nor has my EM.

Others in my area have been let go recently for utilization so I figure mines coming. Just want to get my ducks in a row.

From the rumours usually managers and above got let go for utilization

Hope that helps

In 2008 when I was with ey during the financial crisis it was a meeting invite by hr that gave it away

A lot of people are on bench OP. Did those who got laid off have low utilization last year ? Or this year ? IMO, it is a bit early to lay off people for low utilz in this year. Also, what area are you in ?

Thanks for the info all! This year is low. DNA.

I thought DNA oversold. Anyone if you are below >Manager low utilization wouldn't really get you

Even after many weeks?

I was on the bench for 3 months before;)

My coworker had the meeting at 9am and had to be gone by 12pm... that was July in 5x2

Yah I'm coming up on that. Had a small billable period but client decided to do work in house.

Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
