Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Managers and directors are extremely hard to recruit (who will do well). They would likely go with lowest performers at every level.
They’ll start with habitual underperformers and chronic benchwarmers. Then they’ll go to high-salary, low-impact people. Then...I dunno.
It depends a lot on the organization, how they use consulting resources, how much financial stress they are under, and what kind of value you provide to the organization.
For example a big tech transformation may get killed mid-way due to cost cutting... or staff aug resources may suddenly get the axe.
In other cases, changes in the business environment may lead to more consulting work. For example credit risk related work, or cost cutting engagements.
Cuts can come at every level. If the business environment has shifted and you aren’t hitting your numbers even partners can get pushed out in times like this.
