@ey 6 - first word of the post lol. Just tax that I know of.

Again?!

Yes please elaborate

From what I've heard from the office, around 10 staff were let go.

8 or so peeps. A couple managers, senior, but mostly staff.

So new staff 2? Like those with one year experience? How can they know the good and the bad after a year? Disappointing

Numbers game not quality related I’m sure.

@EY 4 - that is about what I heard too. Around 8 people, mostly new staff IIs, with maybe 1 senior and 1 manager. I am in another city in the region though, so I am a bit disconnected and don't know if what I heard is accurate.

How big is EY’s tax practice in Houston (I’d guess its large). If there are 100+ folks in tax there laying off 8 people at the end of fall busy season is sad but not unexpected. Or am I missing something?

Send them out west, we need them. Literally ever office in the west is looking for Sr's, managers and experienced staff.

Are the offices out west interested in remote workers from another EY office? (FSO tax)

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

I joined EY in January. Had no work all of January, but was busy for February and some of March. I have been unassigned for about 4 weeks now, sending availability emails to all of the service lines we are allowed to reach out to for work.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
