My guess is that maybe they are on purposely holding this off and re-reviewing who to lay-off with this mass racial tension. They don’t want to be seen as the firm that lay off minorities during a mass protests against racial inequality.

and hopefully they also don't want to actually be a firm that lays off a disproportionate number of minorities due to implicit bias, and not just for how it looks

At least, Deloitte is warning their people. I would much rather it be that than a complete blindside and hopefully they are taking the time to do everything that they possibly can to hold people.

What are you going to do with a 5-7 day notice over a 1 day notice? Not to mention the consequences for the 95% of the firm that is actually safe but is freaking out unnecessarily due to poor communication.

It’s for confidentiality purposes. Would you want everybody knowing you’ve been laid off?

SM1 : that’s how layoffs should be done. Clean and quick. Obviously it’s still an awful situation and sucks for everyone affected, but tanking productivity and morale for a week firm wide is not a good look

Wow!!!!

What’s happening, give more details.

Decisions are not always based on performance. Any factors including availability, scheduling, industry etc will be considered. I’ve seen individuals at all levels even partners get exited based on these decisions even when they were excellent workers. Sometimes it’s bad circumstances like your largest clients were sold and you don’t have a book at the time of the decision.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

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. 😞
