Was blindsided by my coach and HR... I'm being "separated" from the firm... In 4 weeks. Was given 4 weeks to find a new spot in Deloitte or external. This ever happen to anyone? Confused by situation.

When I asked PDM Vs PPMD track I didn't mean if you thought you were going to make PPMD soon 😂 - were you hired in the Project Delivery Model or in the traditional model? PDM is usually straight 40 hrs. a week and no expectation of firm initiatives, responsibility to find a project in a short time frame or be let go vs being PPMD track and being able to sit on the bench and line up the next project

Also YE was non existent?! That's impossible, your YE is a combination of project and firm work so your last project would still contribute to your rating even if you switched to a new gig (and everyone gets a rating). I feel like you're leaving important information of your story out...

Yeah, switching to a different group has nothing to do with YE ratings. OP has vanished now.

What's you title? Only been there 3 years?

Did you clash with someone or have a hunch as to who it was?

what level are you ? if sm or spl don't be surprised

New group? Explain?

Internal?

I don't understand how that could happen. I know like 8 PPD's - that is something I love about Deloitte. I think it would be really hard for somebody to "not like me" and that be it. This sounds very odd.

People started putting the pieces together and asking for more info since it's clear OP is leaving out important details...now OP vanished

@D2 you would still get a year end rating in that scenario - I had a friend switch a few years ago right before the end of the FY and still got a good enough rating and had PPMD support to get GSAP.

OP, give us some info!

It's a rough business and the only loyalty is to $$$

Correction: at my firm the cut many SMs last year and I knew 5 of them.

How is separation different from firing?

@D8, I don't see how they would do that if there wasn't another issue. SMs are usually working across several accounts or would be given the ability to try and move elsewhere before being abruptly separated. The firm wants to keep good talent at the firm, even if it doesn't benefit a PPMD's direct account. If the SMs are good and move elsewhere in theory help sell work and grow the pie that the firm shares. If they're not good, sure separate them.

@D1 I'm just relating what I heard and comparing to what I know to be true. I heard that between 10 and 20 SMs were let go from Advisory, and I know 5 of them were solid. One of them told me the sequence of events when he visited the director's office. Was told to come on a days notice and promptly given 2 or 3 bullsh*t reasons that didn't pan out. When the director ran out of reasons, he just brought in HR to finalize the process.

@D9 separation is consulting speak for getting shit canned

Hello Fishes,
