Found out that a few people at Deloitte were fired without warning for expensing Thursday PM meals. How can you get fired for doing something that everyone does and that everyone thinks is in policy​?

^ Yup local emails went out addressing all policies... most obvious like gift card reloads but also the controversial Thursday night dinner and Monday morning breakfast which is just BS. Someone from EY join the audit team? Lol

This is likely a situation where a project or practice was seeing higher than normal expenses, requested an audit, and they found things that practitioners couldn't explain. This happens all the time. You won't hear about people getting fired for this unless you are friends with someone in Talent.

Got multiple emails today from local office MD, RSLL and LCSP in regards to this. Everybody is really spooked. Don't know if there were lay offs, but it seems like something is going down...

I didn’t see these emails

Rule of thumb was the expense should not incur in your home city. So you want breakfast you wait till to get to your client city... and if you want dinner get it in your client city.

No, but I think they were all in AIM

I'm skeptical. Sounds like they wanted to trim the fat if this is even true. They need to make the policy very clear if this is actually the case.

@Deloitte 8 that was just what I heard. I posted this because I've always expensed Thursday night meals so I was concerned based on what I heard... Not sure what is fishy about that. @ Deloitte 7 that seems more likely

Wow..this is a way of trimming the level and bench..

This makes sense to me - we've given warnings on my project for expensing meals once you land in your home city...

This is fake news

How long do audits go back for?

How far can you go back to make things personal expenses?

Didn't know about this policy

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
