Embarrass your firm. First year training, associates decided to run amuck in the hotel being drunk and lewd. They didn't return for the 2nd week of training.

Now that I think about it, all of the ones that I can think of involved alcohol. Another person went bar hopping after a work happy hour and got too drunk to actually go to the restroom and just whipped it out in front of everyone. Fired immediately.

Alcohol, lewd behavior and theft are the most common reasons staff are fired. I did fire one person for repeated racist/ sexist behavior

I think "coached out" and fired are pretty much the same as the result

A few bad/meh reviews + overhiring. I was almost fired as a staff 1 for just this reason, and had several friends that were put on PIPs and left before they could be canned.

like

Talking back a whole bunch to your teams (senior/manager), trying to tell your sr. manager you're right when you're brand new, and over hiring caused one FY to be fired right after consensus meeting. Actually being the topic of the meeting as a staff 1 is a bad sign

@kpmg1 that doesn't get anybody fired.

What's "coached out"?

They convince you to quit on your own

^how the heck would they "convince" you?

EY1 they tell you it'd be best to start looking for other opportunities, drop all your client hours, or take away responsibilities

As already said, getting poor reviews/feedback, getting little to no raise every year, and having it kindly suggested to you to seek other opportunities or rotations within the firm is getting coached out

1). Billing a bunch of hours you didn't work. 2) ghost ticking.

It happened a first year in my office last year. I was her performance manager.

You have to piss in a Partner's shoe. That'll do it.

There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
