Here is how KPMG handled an announcement today re: a RIF:
We’ll be laying off people. We can’t tell you when. can’t tell you how many people. We can’t give you any details. But we WILL send you an email after this call with FAQs and the severance policy.

...no email was sent. So, now 1,000 employees are going to bed tonight confused and irritated AF.

Better than what we get in my business unit. Everything’s fine. Don’t worry. Another round of kool aid?

That's what they did to the admin community. They only said something once they needed ppl to decide if they wanted to op-into the severance package.

I just wonder how 1000 EA jobs can turn into 60 ASK positions. They want you to apply right away with a pay cut. They will feel the pain when we are all gone. It’s just a matter of time. Heads Up KPMG!

@KPMG - what is ASK desk?

EY has had this model for years. Most PPEDD's are assigned a remote EA not in their location and anyone else under that rank does not have access to any EA anymore.

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

Everyday I wake up with motivation that when I start to try and work immediately goes away. I cannot focus on any work and tell myself everyday that tomorrow/next week I will try. Anxious to be fired, but rated successfully at work (when I do i am fast and efficient). Started a new job this year and was remotivated but have since gone back to old ways. I can’t make myself do work - whatever that work may be. Has anyone experienced this?
