Just got promoted last month with Deloitte. I started with the firm 6-7 months ago. I’m still working on my utilization since I’m still pretty new with the firm and things got a bit slow after April busy season. Today I got a random meeting invite from a PPMD and a tax manager within my department with no context titled “Touchpoint Meeting.” The meeting invite is a week from now on next Wednesday at 11:30am and it’s 30 mins long. Is this a possible layoff? Anyone have a similar experience?

I’d reach out and ask if there is anything you should do to prepare for the meeting… that could help give some context.

If without HR it is ok

When I had my layoff HR didn't show on the invite until the meeting started so don't just assume 🙈 unfortunate been seeing a lot more turnover these last few years in the big 4.

Probably putting you on that team and need the manager there to see if you’re good fit

A manager would not be at a layoff ‘meeting’ so, yeah, probably either rolling you on an engagement or just a general feedback meeting.

Update: The meeting is just to assign me a new coach since my old one left the firm lol. They just want to go over performance feedback that I’ve gotten from previous engagements, so all good haha.

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it
