Reflecting on a previous experience I had in consulting. How typical is it to just get straight up fired after you roll off a client project?

If you have done something immoral and/or illegal to get rolled off, probably relatively typical.

If it was just a misfit or personality clash or something else pretty mundane pretty atypical.

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

First question here. B Business Applied Finance degree, finished by the end of 2020. I have experience in multiple roles in different industries, customer service 10+ years experience. I started a new job in a private lending company 6 months ago, excelled in everything and I’m doing everything from managing client enquiries to credit applications and enquiries, financial analysis. It’s a small company and you must work around the clock. I’m currently at $70k and I’m trying to negotiate to $85k

When i take over my next project, I wish I could say: the previous manager did a horrible job and I am just going to let the work explode. It's not in my hands, completely the previous guy's fault
