Folks at EY? Did any of you hear/ know of anyone getting laid off at our's? Several posts on layoff just getting on my nerves.. 😕

Quit layoffs through all areas in PI. Even spread across all levels. If you've met utilization and sales goals, you don't need to worry.

Quiet*

Surgical firings - combination of mediocre ratings, low utilization, specialization in skills that are not strategic, or people that refuse to travel (waiting on bench for a local project)

I know of three people personally who all happened to be Senior Managers, but EY1 is right--they all had poor util and sales and just weren't our strongest anyway. They would have been let go anyway, if not this year, then the next probably.

Well, I am a staff from Cyber practice.. CTM on the whole is doing pretty bad and my until is 50.. So was just worried. (New hire started 7 months ago)

In my opinion (so who knows whether it's close to accurate), it's easier to keep on a staff and justify that they haven't had as much control over util

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze.

Hi everyone, share your blindsided layoff stories below so I can feel a little bit better about mine.

Covered a managers meeting for her yesterday, was with some senior members of the marketing team. A director opens the call with “we are so sorry about the impacts the layoffs have had on your teams today…” then noticed I was in the call and said “we are still notifying others so best to keep it under the radar” …25% of my team was let go three hours later with no warning😬
