Welcome

There should be some severance depending on your policy. Doesn't K have a minimum. ACN layoff policy is a minimum 2 weeks. Might be different if is was a performance improvement situation but then you would usually know it was coming.

Op - who told you and how dd they tell you?

Sorry to hear about it, KPMG doesn't seem do too many layoffs unless it's largely performance driven. You may be a unique circumstance, didn't they give you a reason?

Manager and HR called me and told me it was low utilization ! They dint have any new projects coming up hence the decision.

What was the utilization % OP?

So sorry. Check your policies about the severance. That sucks but you should at least be able to get unemployment and your PTO payout.

50% utilization

Sorry to hear that, hope you find something soon. Which practice are you in?

I know people with lower utilizations than that who are still here. Were your performance reviews bad? What practice?

Yupp. Need to know the practice. I think KPMG made some change in plan based on so many to layoffs at Deloitte and PWC. What's your relationship with manager and partner. This must have come from partner.

I had one really good review and another from an a*****ole engagement manager ... We dint get Along well ! He was a micro managing and off the project later

Yes, has been in threads earlier this month

I had a call w/ a recruiter and after hearing about the job, I *really* want it. But I’m worried I priced myself out of the role. I sent my resume/portfolio after and haven’t even gotten a reply that she received it, and I’ve followed up. I’ve been getting recruiter messages offering salaries up to 120k for copy/senior copy roles (which surprised me) so I gave 110-120 as a range on the call. She hesitantly said she thought 115 would be OK. But wondering if the salary could be the issue? Thought?

Hello Guys,
How much appraisal hike you all have got in this cycle?
In my case they provided very less hike of 3% and I have done so much work.

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year). The firm recently increased first year salary, with a 5% increase for all other attorneys. My original salary was equal to the new first year salary. The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?
