How ridiculous is it for partners at Deloitte to ask us NOT to post on FB when they are handling layoffs so poorly?

Under the National Relations Act of 1935 we have the right to discuss pay OW1 and telling us what to do and say in our free time is a potential infringement on our rights including freedom of speech that even if they could come up with a "reason" to argue they had a right to tell us what to post it would be a public relations night mare. OW1 if you wished up you might be working for a better firm!

Well again they can't tell you what to say. And why would anyone want to "protect" a group of people that is obviously only for their self interest by lying and saying everything is okay when it's not.

In what context did they do that? I haven't seen anything. Also they can't tell you not to do that just like they can't tell you not to compare salaries... Don't tell me one partner told you this and you are taking it as gospel or you might be next....

Freedom of speech does not protect employment. A company can absolutely fire you because of something you say.

I think handling it better would be 1) not denying it to other people and pretending they were performance firings (manager who was gonna jump to D posted something a couple days ago) 2) owning up to their missed targets 3) properly communicating across the firm so people aren't panicking

like

PwC4 - there were no heads-up, people were pulled from client sites, clients are not happy, projects are disrupted. These people that were laid off (this round) were not on any performance improvement plan. If that's not handling it poorly, then I don't know what is.

Additional Posts in Consulting

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
