Yesterday I got fired. I thought that getting fired would be stressful and awful, but it's not - I feel relaxed, happy and loving life. Am I just delusional, or was EY really that bad?

Staff, asked why I was being fired and was told that my performance was bad - wasn't on a PIP, wasn't told this was coming, completely blindsided. Half my office is on a PIP and the partner who manages my group is about ready to fire everybody in it.

EY 8 I can’t figure out how to post a picture in this thread. Someone posted new guidelines for people in tax about hours and engage and working on site/at home. It’s going to push folks with options out the door. Correction: open the door for folks with options to escape to better situations. They’ll continue to squeeze everyone who stays. New hires will adjust to this as normal. My guess is that after over hiring and trying for growth by volume (how new hires = new business I’ll never get) they’re in the process of over correcting and trying to find growth via higher margins. Then regardless of how far from 2020 goals they land they can talk about becoming a more agile and adaptable enterprise to set up the next branded growth plan.
