I know that it’s Saturday (I already touched grass, ya jackals) but can we do a list of major layoff counts?

Guidehouse - ~300 July 2024; ~400 March 2025. Very senior folks including lots of partners.

I know for sure they’re hiring talent in Argentina for half the salaries of the people they elongated in the US. We will see how that works out for them, probably doesn’t matter since they’ll save money.

I knew there were Partners in June last year but didn’t know about that this time around

Yes, mostly June/July 2024. A few partners were impacted this month plus a few directors.

Are the March layoffs based on contract cancellations? Or just their yearly layoffs?
