Today I've made 3 people in my team redundant. 10 people across the entire business – that's 50% of our team...

I feel sick and emotional. Completely heartbroken and guilty 💔😭

I'm posting in this group because I hope others have been through this and understand what it's like to be on this side.

Yes, it's much worse for those who have been let go. I know, I've been there.

But for those who have had to do this, this is fucking tough too! 😞

Fight for a good severance for them.

Yes, it’s the hardest thing we need to do

In many cases the employees find roles that suit them better or get paid more elsewhere. It sucks, but it’s not always as tragic as it may seem. In one case I laid off a group of employees and learned they were all working together at another similar company within weeks.

I agree with the first comment. This is something that is really heartbreaking and hard. The best thing you can do now is fight for them to get a good severance. It will help to ease the blow a bit.

I work with a junior PM who is not performing. Not my report, we share a mgr, but as a senior PM I lead the product. He can’t finish anything, needs a lot of coaching, I give him 2h/wk but I can’t afford more.
After 2mos I raised it to our mgr who promised to work with him. 2 more mos passed, mgr talked to him only once, no change in perf. I think mgr doesn’t want to deal with the problem. Now they ask if I want to manage JPM. It is going to be a ‘no’ but I want to ask some advice on all this.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
