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 think the PERM processing time will fasten? I’d imagine with Covid there would have been less filing...

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

How is the layoff at Eli Lilly?
Are they kicking out people because of free insulin tweet?

@lilly @Eli Lilly

Hi all, i was fired today because i said the truth!! Isn’t that interesting?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Any SF/Bay area people on here? Feeling inspired to coordinate a socially distanced meet up, covid lockdown loneliness is real

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

I don’t understand protesting during a pandemic. I haven’t gotten Covid and to me it’s not worth the risk.

Side gigs. What do you do to supplement your income (besides marry for money)? I bartender but that’s taken a hit with Covid. Thinking about some kind of tutoring set up.

NDAs for Nannies? I was wondering how everyone who is doing some work from home during covid handles in-house caregivers? Obviously we all take all steps to protect confidential information and realistically a caregiver isn't going to be exposed to anything we do, but does anyone require an NDA just to be on the safe side? (I dont have an in home caregiver yet, but just thinking about it.)

Did anyone see their salary or bonus increase due to COVID? If so, how? Did you change jobs?

Recently received notice from landlord rent is going up ~20%. For reference, it is privately owned condo and did not sign at a COVID discounted rate. Super frustrated. What are others seeing for rent increases?

Film industry fishies! After covid, what is the average of projects your company handles each year?

Is current layoffs only happening in Amazon US offices or Amazon India offices as well ?

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off? (I’ve only been able to find references to eligibility being based off of hours work preceding C19 sick leave - nothing about planned time off)

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

I just tested positive for COVID-19. Ask me anything you want. Anything. I’m a beacon of knowledge now and essentially a virologist l, epidemiologist, and family physician rolled into one. The power I wield over all you plebeians and proletariat is insurmountable to even the most worthy foe. Ask me my symptoms. Go ahead.

Realized I like to sit cross legged while I work and my current chair doesn’t have enough room for that. Anyone have chair recommendations? Flexible on price

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

FAANG folks - what are Facebook/Google roles like Country Lead/Industry Lead equivalent to? Are these Director level roles? What sort of compensation can you expect in something like that role?

How many here get staffed on international (exclude Canada/Mexico) cases? Or have done stints abroad? How hard is it at your firm? IMO, most firms do a terrible job of making this happen.

What %age of people in your firm do you like, tolerate, and hate?

All these layoffs reminding me that loyalty is dead

Hi all,
I was made aware that I could work for consulting companies under a personal LLC and increase the pay received. My understanding is this is because I would have to pay my own insurance, benefits etc. Can anyone provide any additional details or literature on this?
