I was recently let go after six months, despite doing my best. I faced constant criticism from a senior colleague with over 20 years at the institution, often rooted in bias. Instructions constantly changed, and my manager always sided with her. The toxic environment led to severe anxiety and panic attacks, making it difficult to resume work each day. Though I’m disheartened that my efforts seemed unrecognized, I take comfort in knowing I maintained my integrity and now have peace of mind.

Sounds like it's a good thing for you to be out of there. But getting let go doesn't feel great either way.

Are all Big 4 firms equally tone deaf, or is it just EY? I feel like they don’t address the fact that people are leaving in droves and the ones left behind are burnt out - we continue to have these big growth targets, but fewer and fewer people to actually do the work.
