Have you ever been fired/laid off? If so, how did you get to where you are today?

I have a meeting with my manager and the title of the invite is "Career discussion". Today, I tried asking if it was my feedback review. He just said "it's a much higher level discussion". Me fired?

Anyone ever been fired for egregious expense policy violations?

First year associate here - really freaked out by FS layoffs and think I might be next. How am I supposed to find another job after 6 months?

I'm honestly trying to work as few hours as possible and not be fired.

A tenth of the Strategy Practice at Accenture got laid off 😳 #HungerGames

I keep reading all these posts about firms laying off a ton of people. Can someone explain what happens after one gets laid off? Like do they just fire you and that's it? What happens to the pay? Etc.

Are any of the firms planning more layoffs? Any specific industries? Is it just lack of demand causing this?

The posts about layoffs seem to have stopped. Yay!

Layoffs at Deloitte in S&O this week. Everyone survive?

Anybody know what alignment Avanade has with Accenture? Apparently they're having layoffs. It's a company partly owned by Accenture and Microsoft and I was told to be weary of the bench haha

Rolling off from my first external consulting project next week. I feel like I'm being fired from a job, not moving on to a new project. 😥

Just got pulled off my main project and don't have any project scheduled yet.... Feel like I will be fired :(

I received negative feedback from my main project. HR scheduled a meeting next week, what should I prepare? Am I gonna be fired? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Received an email invite this morning from the Talent Partner requesting a "Talent Discussion". Does this mean I'm getting fired? My Sr Man. during busy season butchered me during snapshot. #SOS #FCKD

I won't be surprised if people get fired for using fish bowl. With the social media harvest of our 'anonymous' posts.

Is anyone on here who was laid off be Deloitte a few months ago? What was your severance? Have they helped you find a new job?

Curious to know what the other firms' severance policies are.

All these posts about layoffs are making me worry 😱

From reading this app. I realize we have it really well at EY. Deloitte doing major layoffs, KMPG has to come in at the crack of dawn, PwC well the hours..

Going to apply for Chase Sapphire. What are your credit limits for this card?

Looking to leave Accenture to join another consulting firm. I'm based out in Sacramento CA. I have an MBA and 9 years of software consulting experience. Looking for that hook up to get an interview.

I once told the client to get the fuck out of our work area for discussing Game of Thrones episode before I had seen it.... right or wrong?

How hard do you push interns? An intern told me that a task took 4 solid hours, which seemed very high for the output provided. I checked the file version history, and there are a few 30-60 min breaks, and 80% of the task was obviously done in the hour before a check-in deadline. How, and how harshly should I push them on this discrepancy? Before you ask, this was a data transformation task that happens 100% in the same file, with no need to Google, use other files, ask for help, etc.

How livable is NYC on a $125k salary?

Why is the term high finance used? I feel like they just stole it from high fashion to make it seem more glamorous than it is and because finance people all wished they hung out with fashion friends.

Got to the airport at 5:30 am today, tried checking in, it says booking doesn't exist. Went to help desk, they tried tracing my booking for 30 min, nothing appeared. Called the pwc booking service...

My coworker stands behind me sometimes and looks at my screen while I work... how can I politely tell her to gtf from behind me and mind her business??
