Was about to get staffed on an engagement for something I was passionate about and HR blocked it by telling the manager saying they will contact me directly. Is it a layoff?

I don't see why else HR would get involved in staffing. Unless you were employed by the client recently in some other form that impacts independence?

Is your company going through layoffs or performance reviews? Could be layoff or PIP…

It did some 2 months back with an entire team

Update that resume just in case

Start applying too

🤔

Not sure why HR is getting involved unless there is a conflict or a layoff. Hopefully not the latter.

Are you at EY? Senior Consultant is a EY title. Can you please keep us posted here what you find out?

EY you’re not wrong 😂

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
