I am recently received an invite for a meeting with a partner and a HR person which means I am either going to be laidoff or put on a reduced schedule (60% time for 60% pay). I would rather being laidoff since I don’t want to still work 100% with 60% pay. How would I frame it if they put me on the reduced schedule? I don’t want to say “you have to fire me” since it might be counted as resignation and I won’t receive the severance package.

Sorry to hear OP!

Just brainstorming, but maybe put it back on the partner and ask how will they guarantee you are only working 60% of your time and what escalation paths do you have if you experience asks that go over this threshold?

Ha I like this one, keep saying you have a client call scheduled and they'll rethink their decision.

But sorry for the potential life change, that stinks but I'm sure you'll come out on top.

This is just me but I’ve found honesty to be the best route for these kinds of things. I’m sure the partner and HR rep don’t want to be the people to give you this news but they are human and probably know what they would do in your situation. I’d ask them if there was any flexibility in laying you off instead of being put on a reduced work schedule and give your reasons why. Then ask about if you’d get severance and such if they are flexible. You never know someone getting laid off might want to do the reduced schedule so it could possibly make it a little easier for everyone as well.

It’s official I will no longer be a Deloitte employee starting tomorrow. Got a decent severance package so can’t complain here. Looking forward to future opportunities.

There are opportunities out there. Thank you for sharing.

I think ll firings happened last week. Unless a local partner lied to someone I know over there. Now they are forcing people to take reduced pay. Keep us posted on the schedule discussion. And good luck!

Thoughts on asking for a new manager?

So my current CD kinda doesn't give any direction. They look at what I've done and change like one word. Maybe I'm an acd and I don't need much oversight? They also ask me to help lighten their load but never know what needs to be done and tell me to ask the account or design team. I just don't think they are super interested in working any more. 1 junior and a mid level already asked to leave this team. I don't wanna cause trouble or get them (or me) fired
