Had a fight with my MD or let's say more like argument. After that the next 2 months was endless nitpicking and pulling me for mistakes that aren't really in my control.

Post 3 months, I apply for a transfer. Transfer process delayed for some process reasons
No negatives/issues in my f22 feedback. Utilization above target. Way Above average
Recently fired without reason
Who should I escalate to?

PS: Ignore typos. Written in anger

You got the ‘rif’. These decisions were made months ago during talent discussions. You were a bottom 5%. Take the time to process and understand why. Your current project is one factor.

The MD layer is evil

You picked a fight with a MD as a consultant and you’re confused why you were let go?

likesmartfunny

Yeah but it's something standard tech people get these days across Faang firing .

Most of the firm is not allowing transfers right now. We haven’t been allowing transfers for months, in a similar way that we stopped hiring. So you are reading into that part too much.

Also, it sounds like you may have been difficult to work with in your boss’s eyes. That alone is enough reason to push you to the bottom 5% and let go for performance.

smart

The PA process is not fair at all. It’s such a BS process where the SM and the MDs that you had smooched all along , fight for you, for your promotion etc. I have seena fair share of jealous SM in Accenture, who get nervous if the manager is performing and knows better than the SM. That’s why it’s Accenture!

While it sucks to lose a job, definitely feels like you're leaving out information and approaching the situation purely through emotion over logic and patience. No one gets fired for no reason, and if you ask, HR will/has to tell you. You either didn't ask and just want to be upset about it or you do know and don't want to share; equally immature and non-productive positions.

smart

Wow. Get an attorney asap and review the reasons behind your termination. And, see if there is a case for you.

Seen this happen a few times in the London office

Check with an attorney before you move on.

You were given absolutely no reason at all? Not a single one, your PA just says "Fired for no reason"?

You do get unemployment benefits, apply for those. Regardless of circumstances (we're only working with 1 side of the story here), it's at will employment so your position can be terminated at any time for any reason as long as it doesn't violate EEO. And why fight it? If I had a rough experience like that, I wouldn't want the job back, I'd start looking elsewhere.

Yes fired for no reason

smart

Did they call it a performance layoff? Classification matters

Smells like retaliation. There must be a reason for termination. You have to provide that when you apply
For unemployment. Have they provided severance package?

Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
