Just rounding out the COVID impact on consulting based on posts: Who did layoffs?

Accenture- Yes
BCG- ?
Deloitte- Yes
E&Y- Yes
IBM- ?
KPMG- ?
McK- ?
PWC- No

Help me fill in the blanks. Who else did I miss?

Anyone experience private equity buyout? How did the legal dept do in the reorgs and layoffs that follow? Very likely my currently public company will be bought by a PE firm soon. I am a general corporate counsel but I am the only one in legal supporting public company-related work. A chunk of my work would disappear if we go private (but I don’t mind that part TBH). But think that may put me on top of the list to go if the new owners need to cut. Should I start getting my resume ready now?

Anyone in the New York area aware of positions within Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? Friend is looking for new opportunities after getting laid off at her startup.

Now that I’m happ(ier)[still in my learning curve!], have switched lanes and am making a plentiful salary—due to the confidence boost from this site, my S.O. is now exhibiting the same “symptoms” as I was while I was with my former employer (I was formally state government & fed up—not even miserable).

My SO is an attorney of 8 years. First seven was healthcare/medical malpractice sort of stuff. Towards the end, HE HATED IT. LOATHED IT. This was also when COVID hit. He hated it SO MUCH

I’m being shadowed this Friday by my manager due to my performance… my managers keep forgetting to put me in product training classes and how to navigate system classes and I’ve brought it to their attention, but they keep forgetting about me. I’m scared I’m going to get fired because I know nothing basically… even though I’ve told them I don’t know how to do certain stuff many many times.

I was laid off from my job awhile back and I have a gap through temp jobs I was doing. How should I display this on my resume? Leave the gap or say contractor or temp.

Which one to choose betwern KPMG and Accenture .Accenture is offering higher pay but heard they fired most of the people. Should i go with them and also heard there is no bench policy in Accenture. Please advise.

My daughter is a college student fresh into her career. She previously worked for T-Mobile in sales/customer service. She resigned from this role after 3 years for a better opportunity at a tech start-up. She was with the company for 3 weeks, today they called her and said they could no longer afford her salary and would be letting her go. They are paying her a small severance and also allowed her to keep her equipment and office set-up. Does anyone know of any opportunities that are available?

Suggestions on how to spin a layoff to a recruiter or new employer? Want to stay in the game.

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

People with kids, how has the pandemic affected their social life and how have they adapted? My 13 year old brother is doing zoom school and has not seen a single one of his friends in person since July.

Moving to LA soon. Office is near Burbank and may have to commute a few times a week. I’m a 28yo straight single M. I have a dog so living by parks would be nice.

Been seeing Koreatown, possibly WeHo, or Silver Lake. Any other suggestions?
