I got pinged by an ACN recruiter for your security strategy center of excellence. If you're at risk, consider switching to security. Plus 'it's the future' ;)

A3 - untrue. They are cutting high performers if they're not staffed.

Yup. I think chargeability is the defining metric and then you can be given a stay of execution if a partner vouches for you.

Switch to the security practice, it's my understanding we're still hiring

First years safe you guys think? I'm at 70 percent chargeability and have been at the company for around 10 months. Strategy Analyst here.

A5 they're cutting anyone on the bench longer than 8 weeks. You'd think they'd only cut low performers but that's not what's happening.

@A5. My 10th week on the bench right now. First year analyst in Strategy.

like

I would assume they are cutting low performers?

We re-organized a few times in the past 2 years and hired too many analysts / consultants in the excitement. Just a return to norm, nothing to freak out about as long as you perform well

Haha what's that? Im in security and would like to get on a security strategy project

They're cutting at least up to manager from what I've seen, regardless of performance. The bench is so deep so they're making us pay.

I am sure they are starting with below average performers. No reason to worry if you aren't and are staffed

A5 why wouldn't they cut low performers who aren't staffed first?...

Plenty of those

A3**

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.
