Seems like PwC is doing layoffs? My SO just told me that people on the bench are starting to get axed. This is at a European office.

Think about what you’re saying. What would be the justification for releasing a 2 or 3 rather than a 4 or 5?

Even if there were layoffs (there aren’t), it would start with 4’s and 5’s. When would you, as a consultant, EVER recommend to your client to lay off your medium performers before your poor performers?

What office? Couldn't be France with our laws

C1 - they’re not comfortable with me sharing that here, so I will respect that.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs?

Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

If you are on notice period and not doing work properly or on time then what can be the consequence ?
They cant put me on performance defaulters as I voluntarily resigned and also got good feedback from client.
The reason I resigned was the sh^^head manager and project.
He said I would be released from project soon and then on bench but after resigning he is saying you have to serve the NP n we cant release early.
This is only option left to get released from this sh^t place

I am currently in Entry Level Pool-Bangalore and will be 'Soft Locked' to Bench in a month's time. I wish to change my job location to either Indore in MP(top priority) or to Pune(MH).

(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏
