Is it a carryover from the Accenture/consulting culture where 10% are gone every year automatically?

like

@SAD1 most of that number is people who wash out in their first two years, people who leave for MBA programs, and people who leave with the name on their resume and go on to hugely paying jobs where they do nothing in other places. And they recruit a fuck-ton at entry-level and post-MBA. So, their overall staff numbers stay fairly consistent.

performance based. 10 people across the entire agency. 2 creatives.

just sayin, maybe not the best way to frame it while these people are trying to find new jobs.

even if leadership framed it as “performance-based” our performance metrics do not make sense, especially given the fact that the people who got laid off have nothing to do with the business we lost this year

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?

After 2mos I raised it to our mgr who promised to work with him. 2 more mos passed, mgr talked to him only once, no change in perf. I think mgr doesn’t want to deal with the problem. Now they ask if I want to manage JPM. It is going to be a ‘no’ but I want to ask some advice on all this.
