What’s the shortest time you’ve seen someone laid-off after landing on the bench? Approaching 4 weeks and afraid I might be considered. Doing BD here and there but nothing solid in the pipeline.

What tech consulting practice are you in?

Accenture mid year layoffs coming

Why do you think you might be considered

First year analysts usually get a full year pass (except strat, I think). My first year, I was less than 30% chargeable

Wasn’t staffed for 3 months

Any of you in charlotte? Could use an analyst or two

^ if say, I’m in the west coast, is that doable?

2 weeks for warning notice plus another 2 weeks before layoff. That was at Booz Allen around the time of the sequestration mess.

At D feeling guilty for avoiding layoffs as I haven’t worked more than an hour a week since WFH began. I automated almost all of my work and told nobody.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
