I think we need to fire way more people - so much dead weight -I would love to go Ari Gold style through an office with a paintball gun and just start getting rid of poor performers that can't get staffed because no one wants them.

Agree - there are partners who only make numbers because they ride interaction coat tails. There are no shortage of senior managers that can't seem to sell or deliver. Layoffs should hit across the board.

Trust me, there is a fair share of removal at the top for performance. Not bringing in the right amount of revenue is a greater sin than not being as chargeable as you could have been...

Just poor performers

Low and no current utilization at risk

Also, not all of them were 2s, heard at least one person with a 4 was laid off, dry pipeline was cited as reason for layoffs

EY1 knows. To all the naive staff, Consulting is forward-looking, not backward-looking.

Our year end follows the fiscal year, I'm sure we'll be trimming the fat soon

You can find many of the poor performers on FB, wondering why there is so much "lay offs" in Consulting

Says a"Manager 1" of a firm with no name

Layoffs are different than firing - this is mainly firing

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself. My initial thought is this is a terrible idea & would probably make the prenup easily voidable since a main requirement for a prenup is for both to understand the nature and value of the other’s assets. I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d
