Op sorry to say this but there is not a great way to get fired. It always sucks on the receiver end, and for legal reasons companies and leadership are usually pretty curt about it. It will seem heartless - but most won’t give you reasons (or have long feeelinngs convos about it) that could open them up for lawsuits. Not at LEK but this has been true every firm I’ve been at.

I am sorry for you OP, but it’s unfair to come here and call this a ‘Layoff’
I am a manager at L.E.K. And can categorically confirm we didn’t have any layoffs.
We just went through a review period and people that may have been placed on PIPs last period were probably let go.

People with consistent 3s (meets expectation) do not get placed on PIPs / do mot get fired unless there was another problem (e.g., sexual harassment)

This is a post by someone who is (naturally) upset at being let go for lower performance.

The number of people that get fired is very low. Could probably do some math and figure out the 1 or 2 people that were recently let go for consistent poor performance . Not a layoff by any means
