I was laid off or possibly fired I honestly don’t even know from EY (as a staff 1) on July 30th 2024. I wasn’t on a pip (that I know of) but I received an NTP rating and was let go days after. At the time, I was the most depressed I have ever been in my life and while I returned the laptop and received my severance I forgot to sign the exit paperwork. I am now working for a small family business but I am looking for a job and I am worried about what EY will tell future employers bc I didn’t sign

I wouldn’t give it another thought. If it’s really on your mind, send it in. And honestly, I know that must have been incredibly difficult, it doesn’t define you. Generally as a staff I to get NTP, that’s really on your teams for not training you appropriately.

Good luck in the future.

Thank you that is what I needed to hear! And thank you for your kind words, it was definitely heartbreaking at the time but I’ve realized since then that it was probably for the best.

OP, I was let go from a role and can confirm most companies (EY probably included) will only disclose that you were employed, dates of employment, and title. They won’t discuss why you left. It does them no good to help potential competitors and open themselves up to any legal complications. I would probably refrain from using anyone there as a reference though.

EY and other big 4 will only tell future employers the dates that you were an employee. They would never disclose ratings or anecdotes. It’s not in their best interest to prevent a former employee from getting hired.

Just tell them you were laid off in job interviews. You must of signed something in order to get your severance. I know I had to. They won’t say anything negative about you as it opens up a lawsuit against them.

Needs To Progress

Sounds like you were fired for cause. Not sure EY would say anything more than that.

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.
