I don’t work in teams with those involved in areas that would be involved in downsizing / layoffs. I’m rather ignorant to it to be honest.

I’m reading about the Meta layoffs that are going to happen. When there are larger layoffs like that at a company, how is it decided by our firms who stays and who goes? Do we look at people’s reviews? Is it the x-amount of people with the highest compensation that go? Been there the longest /shortest?

Would like to learn something new today.

Layoffs only happen during dire situations. Because it means getting rid of the biggest value the company has. If it’s just an economic downturn then consulting agencies try to retain their workers by eliminating bonuses and cutting PPMD pay. Our industry is no where close to any of this so layoffs aren’t even something you should worry about

EY is already planning layoffs on certain advisory teams, but we’re also looking at Everest…

It’s often made from a very high level so you lose a certain amount of granularity.

Possible considerations:
Below a certain threshold on most recent performance review.
Tenure (less than x years)
Member of a redundant team

I hope Meta will start with rationalizing investments in horizons and refocusing on existing products that are making money

Amazon got rid of fabric and cares for example. They are also getting rid of units that are not as profitable or have a decent business case to be profitable. They then will start with low performers at those teams and make their way. If it is very severe, then your performance won’t matter.

I imagine it starts with classifying whether that department supports Table Stakes, Lights-On, differentiated services, or ‘Other’ services.

Table stakes and lights on won’t get shut down, but they’ll be asked to take a haircut. (Eg Accounting, Finance, HR, Legal, etc).

Determining what’s a differentiated service (ie part of core service) vs other is tough and high stakes. Anything landing in Other is a department that gets shut down entirely

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
