The Siegfried Group Warning from a now former employee. This company has many great attributes about it, but when push comes to shove, they will cast you aside quickly if any client has critical feedback of you, no matter how fair or unfair, big or small that feedback is. After being told I was days away from being promoted, I received a phone call that I received a subpar review and was being terminated based on that review and a small comment made by a client over 2 years ago. No conversation had with me at all.
Did you say what company
Inauguration Day on Monday, gotta clean house and repopulate your Siegfried Retreats with Trumpers
I don’t get RSM and M2…have you not been on Fishbowl more than a year? These Siegfried posts go back to when Trump was in office, it’s definitely a thing.
Owner is a hardcore Trump fan, employees did get time off and incentive bonuses based on MAGA rally attendance, and you go monthly to a retreat to listen to the owner preach about the virtue of Trump.
Not sure why you think I’m making this up, go search the posts. Aside from here I know multiple people who left Big Four to go there and they’ve all told me first hand stories. It’s a thing, sorry
Leave public accounting.
Which company??
Idk why would anyone go there at the first place
Which company?
Definitely a lot of smaller firms that thought they could ride the rising tide of the industry the last few years and are wholly unprepared for pullbacks like we’re seeing now. I expect this won’t be the only firm that does silly things like this.
A lot have done “performance based” layoffs but that’s different than what we saw in 2008. As debt service becomes a bigger cost, they’ll have to slow down hiring as well. We’ll start to see more of this kind of performance based firing and eventually mass layoffs as well.
Would you mind sharing what the negative feedback was that got you terminated?
