I've never been on a project where people are so willing to throw others under the bus, across all work streams and levels. This is not the firm I thought I was returning to. Pretty disappointed

Yep, it's been happening not only from one team to the next but also within all levels on my own team - whatever happened to team work?!

Deloitte was always like that during tough market conditions. I was with Deloitte in the early 2000s and every project was like that

^ i agree... Deloitte is like that, not just in tough market but even otherwise... due to the politics, i have spent more time covering my rear end.. than doing actual work...

Team work makes the dream work, provided the dream is a nightmare

One of the reasons why I left Deloitte. It's cutthroat there!

I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
