How reliable do we think the Deloitte Tax CEO’s “intel” is on the other Big 4 doing layoffs?

The Tax CEO also emphasized since 2017, there have been less than 1% involuntary terminations.

PwC is firing people for performance at a way higher rate as Deloitte hasn’t done that at all since 2016 and back then, it was layoffs.

Call it what you want by either calling it layoffs or firings but Deloitte and PwC are both shedding people.

With you Pwc1. Saw the writing on the wall in school. Rather be at a firm that doesn’t lay off due to hard times. Perform and do your job, keep your job at PwC. Deloitte- out you go!

If they said anything about PwC laying people off, it’s 100% unreliable.

I edited it because although he was less vague I’d have to go back to listen to exact phrasing but gist was him having intel on EY/KPMG doing layoffs.

Just didn’t want to call it layoffs if he used different phrase. But he was way more direct on the other two big 4.

When I was at pwc (until recently) they were laying off their ge tax folks ... interesting point, although that group was not 5% of their workforce it counts as people getting laid off prior to the other big4 (D, EY, KPMG) laying off anyone so they hold that record after all.

Your adding is probably causing you to over charge your clients. Ten millionth time? Your lack of humor is probably explaining why you’re on here so much complaining. Is that due to no raise or bonus after your performance?

P.S. I’m sure a lot of companies terminate for performance.

Apparently this is meant to be it. Let’s hope so and for everyone else especially those in the hospitality world, car rentals, oil & gas, automotive etc etc... tough times

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?

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.

I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
