Incompetence, hard. Not billable or mess with expenses/insider trading, easy

I think hard vs easy for incompetence depends on the economy and the sales pipeline

Hard fact. I came in knowing there is a strong chance it will happen. :(

Pretty easy, especially for incompetence. Maybe this is an S&O thing but I've definitely seen BAs getting fired for being low performers.

EY 2 I concur. Incompetence of account lead is hidden well from PPEDs even if entire team suffer bc of this. And if you challenge/expose the account lead, then you easily get fired...backfiring.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.
