Has anyone noticed consulting severance has gone from 1 month per year to 1 week per year of service? This in top of other cuts in benefits such as PTO.

I got 6 months when I left McKinsey, and I had 18 months of experience

At Guidehouse when they did the big lay off last year… I got 2 weeks for 1 year of service. My coworker who was there for 5 years got either 5 or 6 weeks (1 additional week per year of service) Insane.

You guys are getting a week per year?

Mostly kidding, but I have heard horror stories of people getting a flat two weeks regardless of years of service.

KPMG is one week per year of service. And we now have “unlimited PTO” so they don’t have to pay anything out. Thats okay, I’m taking a lot more PTO!

Ours has remained consistent

Even at the big 4? I thought it was just my shitty firm

I got 6 weeks when I got pushed out of McK at 11 months

That was 4+2n where n is the number of years rounded

Source?

We get two weeks per year and extra two on top.

We have employment agreements. Read your’s.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
