What are the criteria for getting fired? Do they fire after mid year review? What happens if the utilization is really less ?

May be cause for concern if your vertical is doing strongly and you are still not well utilized. Just make sure you are making solid use of your non-client facing time. Much easier to sell a story on reinvest rather than saying 'nothing was available'. May want to talk to a coach as well since this is supposed to be your promo year and you'll want to be building a solid case

Depends on your level and whether the poor performance has been consistent. There is no formula or quota. Anecdotally, if you’re a director and are not utilized and not selling work, prospects will look dim. If you’re an EA or SA with little to no utilization and a poor track record, prospects look dim. A manager with low utilization, poor performance delivering projects, prospects look dim. Otherwise, you get a 6 month stay to course correct.

I am SA with utilization around 55 don’t have bad snap shots but have improvement factor recommended

PwC doesn’t fire people!

What if you are just simply average? In an environment where everyone seems to be incredibly smart/hardworking I feel as though I am just average. Not a good feeling

PwC don’t fire....! Gotta be some real bad reason to get the boot

See the criteria above with 55 utilization and other things...

If you are in your first year, dont worry about it

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space. I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
