To the people getting emails for a time to talk from random partners (meaning getting laid off) could you just keep rescheduling to buy you a little more time?

I am sorry, if you are referring to yourself. I recommend that you "get your affairs in order," ie back up your contact list and email it to yourself, then just bite the bullet. There is life after a layoff (I speak from experience), and you will land on your feet.

Are you on the bench? Taking PTO?

What practice are you OP?

Don't answer numbers you don't recognize. When I got laid off from another company, they snatched my laptop, so I would be careful to avoid leaving it where hr could snag it surreptitiously. I think they can probably brick your computer pretty quickly now, and I don't think you could avoid the meeting for more than 24 hours.

Haha I didn't get an email but know that there are some on here who have and just wondered if this would would work.

We are still laying off people?!

What group?

No😀 no one I'm aware of is getting laid off at PwC. This is really just a thought I had

OP, I got laid off from pwc a few weeks ago.. I thought i should've rescheduled the meeting, perhaps said I was sick or had a family emergency and bought myself an extra few days/week. Hindsight is 20/20!! Would definitely suggest making a list of items to complete if you're worried about being laid off.

^ haha I know. I realized as soon as I posted it would probably be misunderstood. It's truly just hypothetical. Sorry for the confusion!

Sorry P5 my reply was to P4

Pwc4 - they said I wasn't a good fit for the group. Can't say what group as it'll probably give me away, sorry

I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
