I'm a 1st year associate in a rotation program in deal advisory. I'm assigned now in my current rotation but in my FDD rotation I was on the bench a lot. It wasn't my fault, it was just extremely slow during that time. I heard they don't give a shit about utilization for 1st years. It wasn't my fault that the deal flow wasn't as high as last year.

Last year I was at 8% and almost got fired but things turned around

Damn. I wish I could get away with that. I get emails at 80% utilization

Always a risk. Why are you 44%

Carl also said they will continue to evaluate bottom performers

What group are you in?

Yep, over 70% here and you're getting high gives

Yikes, are you an associate?

EY1 idk what group you are in but anything under 85% won't get you a promo so idk what they would high five 70 for

If you know of any companies looking for folks with HR, Talent strategy, program management, or I/O psychology backgrounds, please comment or DM me.

I’ve been tracking the recent tech layoffs. It’s hard too see so many talented people be affected. Has anyone seen data around the type of roles being most affected? It looks like Marketing Ops roles have been largely spared from the layoffs. What is everyone else seeing and experiencing out there? Marketing Ops has always felt relatively safe because most teams run lean anyway, but we’re living in strange times.

If you know your performance is being monitored after being reprimanded earlier in the month and the HR randomly sets up a meeting with you at the end of the month regarding a review of your performance, is that generally a good thing or a bad thing?

I feel like I'm about to be fired and I'm really anxious about it. At the same time, I've kind of lost care because I've been battling depression and anxiety for a while and I've recently realized I've lost interest in the legal field altogether.

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
