New hires again at PwC? Didn't someone just gone laid off? Do they not get this? Just skip an MBA class or two.

If you think apart is the same as a part you probably need to get laid off

If you can't understand why a company will continue to hire during lay offs you probably need to be apart of the group getting laid off...

Layoffs are part of it. Happens every cycle. You foresee high demand in 1-2 yrs and hire staff to address but have no idea how long staff you hire will stick around.

I'm with you OP, I don't get it either other than to maintain an image

Yeah PwC1 maybe you don't get it and should be laid off

But if your biggest asset is people maybe you should start treating them as such

Blame it on the autocorrect. You must not be in advisory

At the end of the day we are all cogs in a machine. If you do not fit, you will be let go and replaced by the new one. It's a cold process but that's how it is.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
