Was Laid Off without a PIP but with strong positive reviews and delivering quality work. Ashamed of how EY Leadership is throwing dirt on it's laid off employees by emphasising layoffs were "Performance Based". Mean, Stealthy and Dishonest, COVID has exposed the dirty, selfish leadership mindset. To my colleagues laid off, its the failure of the business not your caliber as professionals. Don't let this mess with your self respect and self esteem. More power to all of us.

Sorry to hear. Wait for the day you’re a decision maker in your organization and EY comes through to propose on some work. You wouldn’t believe how often Big 4 alumni won’t hire their old firms for work once they’re in industry.

Sorry to hear that 😞 I was laid off last week too, same scenario. We will land on our feet and get out of it with better work opportunities, let it be an EY loss. It’s clearly EY leadership crisis.

That’s terrible. Sorry to hear. So they fire right after busy season. Dirtbag move but not surprised. KPMG just did some layoffs as well.

Sorry to hear this. There are great firms hiring. One door closes and usually a better door opens. Good luck.

Sorry you and others are going through this. Deloitte did the same thing three months ago so the other B4 are just copying each other. They didn’t really have enough “low performers” to get to the numbers deemed necessary so they went from just cutting fat to cutting muscle. It left a sour taste from those who were cut.

I’m sure you will land on your feet. Stay positive

Damn sorry to hear this.

Yes. It’s really rubbing salt in the wound honestly. Sorry to hear it.

I am so sorry to read this. However trust me there is a world outside your ex-employer and trust me it is still not that means as B4. Spread your wings and find a new height.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.
