Will there be any formal communication about the layoffs happening currently/in the future?

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?

Who’s going on month 9 of being laid off with zero prospects? 👋🏻 How are you coping?

I’m at an agency that just went through several rounds of layoffs. It often seems like staff have no recourse when the layoffs hit. How could a staff union assist in that situation?

I didn't get the new senior registration email. Am I fired?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

I think I'm being laid off in about an hour

Have I just had bad luck with the companies I've been at or is it like this everywhere? I've had 7 managers in my 4 years of experience, 3 in one year at my first position (which is why I left) and now 4 at the 2nd company in 3 years. There has been a mix of people leaving and people getting fired but the instability feels extreme.

And, the layoffs begin.

Three friends included in the Anomaly chopping block.

Seven consultant friends with cancelled projects this month and the “foreseeable future until the virus is contained.”

Does any team is facing layoffs problem in American Express. Really a horrible rumors I heard.

How close am I to seeing an offer letter assuming all thing’s go well? For context, I was laid off a month ago so I’m starting to get really anxious now.

With the 1st company, I just completed a panel interview after having an interview with the hiring manager and completing a take home assignment. Will hear back next week.

More details of other interview processes in comments due to character limit on post.

What do you guys think about firms who use remote/online IT tech companies for their it needs versus having IT staff inhouse. I once worked for a small CPA which laid off it's small IT staff in favor of an outsourced remote/online IT solution. That tax season, the network crashed several times and it was awful. After tax season, the firm rehired the same group of people it had fired and halted it's remote IT help.

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about layoffs in recruiting?

Pretty sure I’m getting laid off tomorrow morning. Our company was acquired and now I’ve got a meeting at 8am with head of HR & our VP to “discuss next steps” for my position. I wish they’d just put it in an email and save me the next 24 hrs of stressing but here we are.. any advice on questions, etc I should prepare before tomorrows meeting? Talk about worst time of year to lose your job 😭 I’m also expecting so it’s adding to my stress. Ugh.

Those of you that have exited into smaller, corp strat/corpdev type groups with a bro vibe at the top. How did you establish yourself and grow? "working hard" not the answer..

How can anyone move from EY GDS to any foreign EY non-GDS entity? Does onshore EY team sponser visa?

Advice needed:

I am working on a 3y local contract in the US since 2.5y - long-story, but wife never made it over and now wants me to come home.

I am responsible for a major strategic product and CEO really wants to keep me (incl promotion). I can transfer back, but wouldn’t be guaranteed a job at same level. I expect better opportunities, if my CEO would push for me, but don’t know how to ask him, given that he has a conflicting interest.

How would you ask? Or just apply for jobs at home?

Received my first recruiter call, went well and now I have a half hour call with the head of legal. I obviously want to ask about their department to compare to what I am currently doing. I wasn’t planning on jumping ship so soon. Any advice? What questions, if any, are off limits? Can I ask about their team moral? Communication? Delegation of responsibilities? Am I overthinking this??

Having some serious anxiety / imposter syndrome a few weeks into a new job cause a lackluster meeting & lack of feedback that’s shaken my confidence. Any tips to get back on track?

Does anyone actually read the Weekly TS Newsletter? It seems like we spend a lot of effort in putting it together, just want to make sure it is time well spent. Click "Like" if you like the newsletter.

As we move into the new fiscal year what are some ideas to make every person in TS&A proud to be here.

New name for TS&A:

Curious - does a Gartner / IDC analyst report exist for ts&a?

As KB says "there's two kinds of people at Accenture those that are in TS&A and those that want to be". Question - which other practice or group do you think does amazing work ?

What is the new Tech Strategy base for M (M1, M2, M3) and SM (SM1, SM2, SM3….) now? Please share your level, TAL, base pay, bonus %

Do we know when all of TS&A will be at the new MRZ salary across the board?

What’s the most out there thing you’ve seen on a client facing slide?
(We come up with some hilarious stuff)
One that comes to mind: “Harness the DARQ Power!”

Someone was watching Episode V when they wrote this…

As expected, mrz increase for TS was nominal. Curious to hear how they were for TE and EA.

The longest week of the year - The week before PA results

On average, is TS&A compensated less than the other groups in Strategy? I know MRZs are bands, but I’m talking about the average (e.g., does the average L9 TS&A salary in a given city = the the average L9 non-TS&A Strategy salary in that same city?)

What’s the best practice to report an incompetent TFS / HR Partner? Or do they just such across all the MUs and are we supposed to accept that?

They’ve increasingly gotten worse. We had it good with our TFS in TS before the NGGM but the quality has consistently gone down.

Is leadership doing anything to address some of the discontent following an underwhelming PA cycle for many in TS?

Has MD1 entered the chat?

what salary to expect for promo to M?

What should one expect for M1 to M2 raise? Currently at $151K in Tier 2 city

Anyone have insight into expected raise for L7-L6 promo?

are we still getting pay increases? Given the layoffs.

How’s our pipeline looking?
