If you know of a just a couple of examples, then it is likely those are the only examples that exist. These people likely had a long record of not getting staffed or meeting sales targets and previous warnings from management. Nobody gets let go from PwC without warnings and time to improve.
People on my team were let go yesterday and today, it's happening in other offices too. Reasons were performance history and low utilization. Those with decent utilization were let go because of performance reasons. Experienced staff and senior levels. Has happened at other offices in region too. This is really happening at EY. PwC, I didn't know until I saw this post.
I believe this is all fictitious. I am in FS and have no idea what you are talking about... Anybody have just ONE concrete example of someone who got laid off for a reason that wouldn't typically have gotten them fired?
Yes. It's real
Yes. Concrete reason: they were let go. Not high enough utilization. Not enough sales participation. Know of both associate and director examples.
Wrong bud. There's a round of layoffs going on now. I'm sure the three people I am aware of in my small network are not the sum total of the cuts, and the fact that others (like the OP for example) are aware of this is pretty strong evidence that your skepticism is misplaced.
Waaaaaait what??
Is it assurance or advisory?
I heard it's mostly directors and exp associates with lackluster reviews.
I saw the projected until rate for associates in April is 44%. Wtf
That's quite far out though....
Happening at EY too
You must not be receiving the, "it's my last day" emails.
You've actually heard there are legitimate rounds of layoffs? Like you've heard this from a partner?
There are def people getting let go. They went to practices and gave them cut #s. All levels. Criteria they most likely used to cut:4s from last year, poor mid year convos,low util, poor suckers with no personal brand and advocacy in the leadership team....
Partner told me two weeks ago this was going to happen
How did you pull off going to McK from PwC doing PMO work? Can we talk?
😰😰😰
Can we move this to some sort of group me # where we can talk more candidly? Not sure how we would vet members though...
Where did you hear about more rounds?
