Killing his wife. True story.

I couldn't remember where he had gone to. Thanks for the info.

I have seen partners terminated for everything listed above, except murder. Hope I dont come across that one.

Poor performance is most common. Partners can be put on PIPs no different than staff. Accountability is important at all levels.

What matters is revenue. Plus this has to happen over a period of years.

Well, the firm usually protects the partner in case of sexual misconduct - unless the victim is another partner and with better contacts

True story - a Deloitte partner in McLean, VA raped a senior in her apartment and Deloitte sent its army of attorneys against the girl. This happened in 2012/2013 and the partner was still in Deloitte till two years back.

Stealing from the firm through fraudulent expenses. Knew a partner who was having an affair with a manager in another office. He created “business trips” to Europe that he would take the manager on and charge the entire trips to his various client codes. They were really just romantic getaways. Wouldn’t charge the expenses to the clients, so firm would eat the cost.

Then performance issues - low or no book of business for too long. Sexual harassment, ethical violations. I hadn’t heard the murder story above....that is a new one and I hope the only one.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.
