Was brought onto a project in red status 2 months ago. Last month client sponsor (SVP) was fired. This week my project MD was transferred off the account. Project still red. Pretty shook right now.

You’re a consultant. This isn’t your fault and Don’t worry about it. This isn’t your problem. Just keep your head down and work hard and don’t let anyone key in on you.

The good news is that nobody thinks the mess is your fault, and nobody expects you to single-handedly fix everything that the SVP and MD couldn't handle. Use this chance to learn what went wrong and resolve to prevent or fix those kind of situations in the future.

Why is the project red?

Stay strong OP and don’t overthink and support the team as much as you can to cross the finish line . If it’s your first project which is in such status then it’s a learning opportunity.

sounds like a great place to learn hr skills

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
