You are making the assumption that they give a shit about our morale. That sucks, man. Sorry to hear it. I'm afraid this isn't the last round of layoffs yet.

Yeah they say there is another round before bonus payouts... At this rate it'll just be one long continuous round of people getting picked off

PwC 3 I didn't ask cuz I felt it was a little insensitive but in past years he has been a top performer

We've been there, OP. Just hang tight.

Did they do it over the phone?

What level? That's what's crazy - top performer means a "1" and why would they layoff top performers if it's truly the top 10-15 of performers??

$$$ PwC 2, top performers get paid significantly more esp w advanced degree. Also future utilization, there's nothing in the pipeline

It's become evident that past performance or loyalty doesn't even matter to this firm. It's all about how much they can make off of you moving forward

You broke the code. Well done

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

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.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
