Read in Bain bowl that there are layoffs at BCG London. Can anyone confirm / deny this?

There are not layoffs. This is a weird ongoing rumor that has no substance. What is happening is that voluntary attrition is way down and so people who might have slipped by in the past aren’t getting promoted. This is not a layoff - we have the same or lower total attrition as we’ve always had.

There’s some random threads in the MBB bowl, probs where the rumour started

Seems people are probably getting confused between layoffs (i.e. a structured headcount reduction), and an increase in involuntary performance related exits with headcount still growing (potentially happening if natural attrition is low and headcount growth forecasts are proving too optimistic for current economic climate)

Not true - still have hundreds joining

I got laid off and not sure if I should find a place cheaper to live by myself and pay rent with UI for couple of months while studying or go back home where family is and contribute much less than I will be spending living alone to parents for rent. I will be saving a lot. Problem is younger sister who is mentally draining and steals my things, makes nasty comments towards me lives there and her bedroom will be right next to mine. She once got me arrested for no reason. What should I do?

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?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
