We have an own sharepoint and lots of material about how EY reacts, how we (as managers) should interact with the team, how to discuss this with clients and also information material how clients are impacted and can react. Think they do quite well on providing information. Maybe check the Deloitte intranet, I‘d be surprised if the other Big4 don‘t do such things.

I was approaching this from a public branding perspective, but I understand that for consulting communication is often on a need to know basis.

Everything is based off of team/project. So your manager has so much less incentive to be good to you because it’s just their personal brand and you can’t spread it (as far as media coverage does for corporations)

Curious what other firms/managers/teams responses to COVID have been

I think ours has been pretty good.

We have an online portal as well with internal documents and we have pieces for clients.

Most important, we have been weekly or more frequent calls with the head of America’s where they tell us their plan, what they know, and what they don’t know. Shoutout to David Hanfland (head of Americas) for doing a nice job communicating.

Teams are given authority on how to organize their work from home efforts.

Yes mine was to lay me off

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected.

This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
