North American Accenture folks. Am I the only one to think that this new one consulting / local BS is going to result in layoffs? Got a weird email from HR asking to identify which city we worked in

@DC1 - be sure to listen to the NA broadcast on9/21 from Julie Sweet. She also had an email few that explains her direct report changes. I read everything that comes from her because eventually it can come down to us positively or negatively.

Which group are you in OP? I'm on west coast in digital and local projects here are dry.

East coast MC! Nada here as well.

Don't want to say too much about my group but OP I agree. Did not get this email yet so maybe they are just trying to get data. I think all firms are going to have at least some layoffs. The business model is hard to predict.

I haven't been paying much attention to what's going and the only "regional model" I've heard of has been on FB. Is this for all groups or just consulting? Will consulting still be a group? I'm also in digital on the west coast, and staffed on a long term east coast project. I feel that project needs will still dictate who goes where, and it'll still be business as usual. But please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm interesting in hearing more. I think it could be great to shift to more of a regional focus. Makes sense

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

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. 😞

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
