With supply chain issues impacting companies bottom line consulting firms will be some of the first to go. How long before layoffs and where in the org will layoffs start? Directors and Managers?

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.

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?
