What was it about the Deloitte layoffs that angered people? I.e "How it was handled" I know it sucks, but people seem particularly pissed.

@D3: Partners should take a cut and keep you on payroll? I have solidarity for my colleagues who are laid off but not for ones who think this way.

For gods sake, next don't tell me that the rich should pay their fair share, They can take it but others can't, Middle class is shrinking, Greed etc

After every round everyone was told there won't be more. Just like after the last round in May, which probably won't be the last one either... Also, terminations were sudden - called in tomorrow, gone the day after. That being said, I believe folks were left on payroll for some number of weeks, which generally helps with the job search/transition.

I can only comment on what I've seen here. I think some of the anger seemed to come from internal messaging that talked about how great everything was while the layoffs were happening. Made leadership seem insincere and out of touch.

Layoffs are never fun and always piss ppl especially in an anonymous forum. Been at Deloitte for 7 years and I don't think it was handled particularly bad, or any worse than ever before

C1 D8 - yes, nothing extraordinary but that doesn't mean ppl won't be angered. You sweat blood to develop relationships within the firm and just like that, out of the blue, you are gone. The only person that wasn't angered was a friend who was burnt out, thinking about leaving and basically found out he's gonna get paid to look for a job for 2months and PTO will be cashed out.

@D7: question about laid off next day, isn't it how it is everywhere? I hear that consulting firms do that to protect firm related data. You aren't kept around with access to intranet after you've been told about layoff. It's immediate for a reason right?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
