Had a glowing fantastic performance review last year. This year no review, just a meeting with managing partner and HR to tell me I am fired and to leave now. No bad performance. Is it just the money?

We all know that at BDO, you don’t just get fired like that. There’s more to it over here. You would have known why you’re getting fired way in advance and would have seen the writing on the wall.

Damn, sounds rough. But they dont just fire you and not tell you the reason. What are you hiding op?

Yeah. More here than the partial story we are getting. Of course, now the OP is no where to be found. I can't help but notice that is the common theme with posts like these. Throw bomb, then run away.

What office/service line? I’m assuming it’s tax. I know I’ve heard a lot of people in my office concerned about being let go.

This makes no sense.

Did they refuse to tell you why?

I had a staff once who was bad for quite a while. Took forever for the firm to fire that staff knowingly how bad they were. And they thought it was because the firm didn’t like that staff.

It is for something you did (e.g. absenteeism, harassment at a happy hour, off color comment to a client, etc.) not performance. You were in such shock that you forgot to ask why. That’s a bummer.

OP. They set you up w/ severance ?

That’s nuts, I’ve never heard of this happening in all my years at BDO.

What reason did they give that you obviously don't believe.

Hi Fishes

Please advice
I am currently working in TCS (11LPA 10 years Exp)

I have 2 offers in hand. TechM with 19LPA & DXC with 25 LPA (23L + 2L Variable)

DXC hired me for Indian client .My job profile on system admin. Work will be on Legacy Technology. Do I get chance to upgrade to cloud and shift to different Client

Most of the review on DXC is negative. How will be job security and work life balance. In most review I see "termination & layoffs." How is current situation in 2022
Thanks!

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
