I'm starting to get the impression that my leadership doesn't want to get me off the bench, and that they've roped the RM into the same agreement. Is this an actual layoff strategy Deloitte uses?

I tell all my coachees that if you're relying on your resource manager to staff you, you're doing it wrong. It's up to you to find your own opportunities.

It could just be that it's harder to get staffed around the holidays.

This is a strategy at EY?!? I call bullshit

This is a strategy at KPMG. If everyone doesn't like oh they won't staff you unless someone outside your service line needs someone desperately. If you don't get staffed you don't get promoted / bonus they hope you'll just leave but if you just linger eventually you get the cut.

Not sure how much severance that would be if you were to be laid off. Could be 4 to 6 weeks at some employers.

Sometimes it's just. It a good time to get staffed. Why are you blaming leadership and your RM? Look at what you've done and what can you do better.

There has to be a good reason, like a proposal about to be won but they can't do that forever. If you get staffed you get staffed. Go find your own opportunity

@P2 Nope, if you're not staffed, blame falls solely on you.

Would there be a severance in this scenario?

Yes. How long have you worked there?

How long on the bench?

4 weeks, starting week 5 monday

Service line? (Some are more happening than others right now)

Analytics, fed

Hmm OP don't know your RM. Federal clients typically spending money early Nov through calendar year end? Were there late summer / fall campus hires? Have you been here for more than a year? Oct - Jan ALWAYS seem a little hairy when it comes to staffing.

Happened to me

What are the signs that this is happening?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?
