2% is A LOT especially since the layoffs are affecting the younger workers who tend to make up the bulk of Fishbowl users. Try to have empathy.

Yes, January. Look to past layoffs for guidance. The firm is still overstaffed, even for busy season.

It was 4%

There will be more layoffs in January.

Sorry, don't not mean to frighten you, but this is typically how it's done. I would guess the other firms will see layoffs in January too, or at least by the end of 1st quarter. EY has no class in that they do layoffs in December, fuck up your holiday and make those still employed concerned about their jobs (as they should be). There's worse things than two months severance and unemployment, though. It will all be ok.

Thanks for the information, EY 2. Has anyone heard anything about tax? The focus seems to just be on assurance.

Tax already had a bunch of layoffs across the board. I've heard the layoffs are done, but rumor states otherwise. Just heard kpmg laid off 10 partners and others across all levels in the southwest region. Don't know how valid that is

43/1200 in the southeast region, 3.6%

Where is everyone getting these percentages? I haven't heard of any in my central region office at least in audit and tax.

@EY 5 I don't think central has made the move yet? At least in southeast region it has been all over the place

I am in NY and don't know a single person who has been recently fired

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
