Is Capgemini doing layoffs in every office? My friend just got laid off in CHI after 2 years of being an applications consultant. Staffed and was consistently a good performer

Which practice? And did they give them a reason?

Not sure, I felt bad so didn’t ask too many details. I just know that on all his projects he has been a data mgmt and customer experience business analyst. They were told it was due to COVID apparently (probably a dry pipeline)

Layoffs aren’t by office, but by service line/practice. And yes there were plenty of layoffs at the end of April, haven’t heard of any since then

I’m in Invent. We didn’t do well last year plus Covid this year. People are getting laid off left and right.

Why would someone who is staffed get cut if they are a decent performer ? That’s lost money

One lady had a 2 the year prior and was fully billable. Others I don’t remember. I was told it was a move in anticipation of a slowing economy.
It’s BS really, the rules of this business are that you let people go after they hit the bench when they are no longer billable. You don’t fire revenue generating assets. It was the strangest and one of the saddest moments of my career and I’m ashamed that I played a role in it

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
