Hi

.

Bravo. I had a similar experience in the past, and it resulted in better oops.

It's not about money @pwc6, it's about culture! Otherwise you will continue living the same sad life

Pwc OP: I'm in a similar situation :)
Would be helpful if you can mention what role are you opting for now? (Better off with firm name too)

Lol can you please just tell us? Or just at least name two firms and it's one of the two or something. Your new firm 1. Won't stalk you on the anonymous app fishbowl and 2. Won't revoke your acceptance bc you were laid off

.

If not the firm name. How about role and kind of work you'll be doing?

@PwC OP: Given the nature of sensitivity, I applaud you giving out this much of info, if not more! Thanks Bud. Nonetheless, awaiting your transition and forthcoming response on this chat. All the best to an amazing start ;)

EY important because I'm doubting the credibility of OP's story. Something seems really off

Why would I make this up? If you are on an engagement, you are asked to keep up your work at a certain capacity to be eligible for the severance package. You get to keep your laptop for another 2-4 weeks, depending on the terms of your departure.

That's definitely not true and/or the norm. Out of the 10s of staffed people I know who were let go, only one person got a 2 week reprieve and it was because the client threatened to drop PwC over the lack of notice...

And even if your case were true, you have an advantage that other PwC people do not which is being able to lie to your future employer about being in the process of quitting versus having a stigma of being laid off. It's not a huge deal, just wish you were more transparent upfront before giving anyone else effected false hope

Seriously?

Slalom?
