Firms are hiring like crazy lol, it’s a great time. The only time I saw people get fired/laid off at Deloitte was when there were firm wide layoffs, like the kind announced by the CEO

SC1 nailed it. Fired for performance is rare, laid off for trimming of overhead is common.

This is the very definition of privilege

Able to post something so absurdly wrong (Google PMs in the comments explaining that she transferred ladders when she switched jobs internally, hence pay change)

Able to become a product manager at Google and STILL not comprehend how misleading the race aggregation stat is “Black women make 58 cents to every $1 a white man makes!” not taking into account job choice and individual opportunity.

..all while the comments are filled with blind support
