If they came to work wearing a pizza costume every day and hung out in the kitchen, acting dejected every time someone came in and got their own lunch out of the fridge.

I’ve never heard of this happening but I feel like it would be reasonable firing grounds.

Same as second year, third year, or any other year.

- Performance
- ethics
- business conditions
- background

It is also part of culture to trim bottom of the class to make room for new juniors. It is a sick part of the culture here but it is what it is!

^Had a client who couldn't make it in either! She was an engineer, and was on a Pip because she couldn't make it in before 9:30 (their culture started at 8). 30ish years old....insane. Her friend told me she didn't even stay up late....

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
