Why does it feel like there are so many layoffs in consulting lately?

Probably because you work at WM and they just sold off a part of their business that makes up 10% of their staff, along with laying off a few senior resources.

Hey EY1! I used to work in Big 4 and can say with confidence that WMP takes more of a mentoring/coaching perspective than just pushing people out. The performance mgmt process here is much more focused on growth and open conversations. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat more.

All kinds of companies are restructuring where I live. Way more than consulting imo.

It’s the cycle of life. It’s like a forest fire that burns off the shrubs and small trees allowing the remaining ones to grow tall.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Had a fight with my MD or let's say more like argument. After that the next 2 months was endless nitpicking and pulling me for mistakes that aren't really in my control.

Post 3 months, I apply for a transfer. Transfer process delayed for some process reasons
No negatives/issues in my f22 feedback. Utilization above target. Way Above average
Recently fired without reason
Who should I escalate to?

PS: Ignore typos. Written in anger
