@PwC It was all over Fishbowl. Your FS practice from what I read. @D6 There is no "purge". I'm annoyed you would even use that word. Way to cause mass hysteria without any evidence. Turnover is natural. Everyone who is average to exceptional can get a 3. I'd be surprised if a 4-5 maintains a career at the firm.

So I just spent some time chatting with one of the PPDs in our office about reductions. Here's what I know. It was completely performance based - voluntary attrition is super low right now and we're long in staff so they trimmed the fat. Cuts were made at all levels, but reduction at the BA/C level is essentially done. Might be a little more movement at the M/SM level in the next weeks but it's pretty much over. Overall, it was a cut of around 3-4%, and it not impacting any of our recruiting or hiring.

Everyone keeps asking i feel it must be true

Where is the purge happening, at what levels, and to what extent? List offices and levels of you know of it

Performance reviews aren't even started

Define below par? 3?

Don't know for sure but I would def say 4...not 3...like a BA missing promotion twice or an SM missing sales targets multiple years

On a PIP would be an obvious one.

@Deloitte 3 I haven't heard anything about PwC layoffs...

I'm in tech. We've not seen/heard of any of this layoffs discussion beyond fishbowl

On advisory side, we are looking to expand a lot this year. No layoffs but agreed with @d11 about performance "transitions"

@D13 is the cut done or are they still slashing. What is going on?

I've heard of S&O Cs and SCs from the larger offices. My guess is low utilization first

Ya know I was at a talk a few weeks ago where a PPD was chiding us all for being way too anxious and paranoid. He's so right. So what if layoffs are coming? The metric year ended, so what are you going to do about it now? Have a drink and chill. The whole big dark secret to Deloitte is this: network your butt off and do good work. It is actually that simple. Have a drink, chill out. Nothing you can do about it now.

@D1 so yore saying more people are gonna get fired after this week's round of firing?

I heard there might be more in ott

To those laid off, did you see it coming? Is it only due to PE ratings? I know of people who were great who left.

The 2 BAs cut from my team this week said they did not see t coming

What offices are they from

NY

^so it already happened?

Yes, this week, between Tuesday and Thursday. Mainly in NY, LA, Chicago and Boston offices...

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

The Current scenario of high attrition rates and job shift by taking multiple offers has been caused by a resource crunch in the market. However I have a feeling that this particular scenario of shifting jobs by way of multiple offers and getting high salary is creating a bubble in the market which will burst causing a ripple effect of lay offs due to cost saving efforts by organisations in the near future. In a scenario like this how can one change the job by avoiding the bubble?

Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work.
