Preach Brother! Or Sister. These high and mighty firms are so sneakily disengenous it’s infuriating.
If you are laid off due to performance, and your performance is based on utilization, then there's a 90% chance you were laid off because your bosses don't know what they're doing, and your layoff is a blessing in disguise.

Accenture is the canary in the coal mine so pay attention private firms. They can’t hide, they have quarterly reports and Wall Street wizards pouring over their numbers. So they will aggressively react to keep their share price healthy. What that portends for the private firms however is not pretty, these guys are just more exposed.
I doubt the market is a whole is buying that these have much to do with performance. No secret what’s been happening at the Big 4.
They should have just said restructuring which is middle of the road.

It’s not restructuring - it’s softening demand.
Use your platform, don’t veil these tens of thousands of people being laid off as performance issues
Other factors going into layoffs:
- level in a firm and corresponding salary
- promo spots at the next level
- relationships / people favoring
- who the f knows, many are not performance based
- SOFTENING DEMAND
Probably paid McKinsey to draft the slide ware and voice over!
I agree
Does the company pay a decent severance plan? I hope so. It’s the least they can do :(
