I read it. It was all over the place. And he said a couple things that definitely should have been omitted if he wants to be taken seriously. But he probably didn't know this would get as much publicity as it did. I don't know if he /should/ have been fired but I'm not surprised that he was. Companies don't have to be tolerant of all views, especially if those in charge don't agree with those views.

He will likely get paid out in some settlement but it won't be publicly disclosed.

D1. Interesting. source ?

Yeaaah nah. He has to go. Those are problematic, deeply sexist views. Not even getting into the racist shit he said. The implications there are EEOC cases waiting to happen.

Did anyone actually read it? Feel like defending the mediocrity of the document is silly. At least if it was better sourced with more data, it would have been respectable. But it was literally filled with stereotypes.

Oh and where the hell does gender fit into politics and where does politics fit into work!? Lol

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

Which agencies are going through layoffs

like

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
