I’ll take the bait ... what news about Deloitte audit?

like

So we’re all left in suspense?

like

For those who want to know about audit I heard 100 low performers are getting laid off. I’m in tax so not certain about past years but my audit buddies say this is pretty common, just makes it easier to say COVID related too

like

Yes. It is never one size fits all. If necessary, they will start with low performers, those with decent but marginal skills and poor utilization. Your best performers never have issues getting work. They are always the first choice because they deliver every engagement quality on budget work and are strong technically.
If everyone in an office is really strong and keeping busy, those folks will be fine. There is almost never going to be a per office quota. The firm knows that there will be a day when the sun is going to shine again and you need to keep your A and B+ players for as long as you can.

I haven’t heard anything. Last communication I had is that they are doing literally all they can to avoid doing any layoffs. So if we get laid off, it’ll probably be a few months from now once they’ve exhausted other options.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
