Were there a lot of layoffs only at EY or at several consulting companies?

I've been on here all day and I'd like someone other than PwC and Accenture to confirm these rumors. Also to pwc2, you must be a new hire. Your firm made it rain pink slips at the beginning of the year. So did Deloitte.

PwC has been steadily culling the herd. Rifle shot, not huge waves

EY1, I am an experienced D and was being sarcastic to the nube. I should have put an after my post to make that more clear, but I tried to make my statement patently ridiculous.

Everyone can get laid off. Always have a plan B

Only EY. The other firms generally hire for keeps, unless you feel like leaving.

PwC and Deloitte did it worse. PwC layoffs had a huge round feb, another June/July, and are still happening on a continuous basis. Bottom line is we don't need to be hiring 600 kids from campus each year but that would royally screw campus relations so the cycle continues. Also that clients are not willing to pay S& rates and some verticals are having a hard time closing deals as client funding dries up
