I’m in NSS too. Just make sure you are involved in internal projects and make sure leadership knows who you are and what you are doing. Sometimes you can’t control utilization but you can do a lot of other things that help offset the impact low utilization would have.

not GH. Friends in industry and other consulting firms. I think GH are doing fairly well but the whole thing just make me anxious. My friends who got fired are way more experienced and hardworking...

i am incredibly livid at the way my firm laid me off, claiming it was performance based when i know it was bc of some unrelated conversation about wanting to broaden my professional bandwidth.

I’ve had to hold my tongue, swallow my pride during my final call and play dumb even though i wanted to call them out on their bs. Trying to get over this but i hate feeling powerless and undermined
