Post-July 9th: Are the 'internal initiatives' just busy work?

So the news dropped today about the headcount reduction. I'm seeing a lot of people in the slack channels pretending everything is fine and pushing hard on these 'internal innovation' tracks that leadership is obsessed with right now. Is anyone else actually buying this? It feels like they’re just keeping us busy so we don't look for work elsewhere while they wait for the next quarter's revenue targets. I’ve been at the firm for four years and this is the most demoralizing environment I’ve dealt with. I’m seeing high-performers getting tapped for 'off-project support' which everyone knows is the precursor to being let go. My question for those who survived previous rounds: is it worth staying and playing the game, or is the writing on the wall for the mid-level managers? I don't want to get stuck in a dead-end internal role while the market for consultants is starting to look slightly better elsewhere.

July 9th cuts: Anyone get the calendar invite today?

Woke up to see my project team suddenly looking a lot smaller on the org chart. I’ve been hearing rumblings since the beginning of the month, but it finally hit the news outlets this morning. They’re claiming it’s a 'strategic realignment,' but let’s be real—the bench is deep and nobody is getting billable work. I’m currently on the bench and have been for almost six weeks. My PD told me to 'focus on internal assets,' but I know that’s just code for 'polishing your resume.' Does anyone know if they are doing this in waves, or is this the bulk of it? I’m terrified to check my email every time I see a new notification. If anyone was impacted, are they actually offering severance or are they pulling the 'performance-based' exit card to avoid paying out? Just trying to figure out if I should start applying to other firms tonight or if I have a few days to breathe.

Deloitte's Strategy Shift - Post-Layoff Implications?

Saw the news about the recent layoffs on July 9th. It's worrying, especially with the articles floating around about Deloitte looking at new strategies to avoid future workforce reductions. What does this actually mean for us on the ground in consulting? Are they really going to lean more on automation and tech to do the work of people? Feels like a double-edged sword. On one hand, maybe it means more stable jobs if the company is better positioned. On the other, it sounds like a lot of our current roles might be at risk if they can 'optimize' them away. Anyone have insights into what kinds of roles are being targeted or what new skill sets they're prioritizing? Trying to figure out how to future-proof my career here.

Deloitte Consulting: Anyone Else Feeling the Chill After the July 9th News?

Scrolling through the news and saw the article about Deloitte's latest cuts on July 9th. Anyone here directly affected or know someone who was? This has me really uneasy about the consulting side of things right now. Heard whispers about some projects being paused or scaled back, but nothing concrete. Seems like everyone is holding their breath. The firm has been talking a lot about leveraging technology to optimize, and I guess this is part of that. Just wondering what the general sentiment is out there. Are people seeing a slowdown in work, or is it business as usual for most? Curious about how this impacts career progression and overall morale within the consulting practice.

Deloitte Consulting - Recent Cuts & Future Staffing

Saw a few articles floating around about Deloitte looking into tech to manage headcount and avoid future mass layoffs. I'm wondering if this is related to the recent news about cuts on July 9th. Feels like a bit of a contradiction, right? They're cutting now, but also planning for stability later? I'm in consulting and the vibe has been pretty uncertain for a while. Anyone else in Deloitte Consulting feeling this? Did anyone get hit by the July 9th cuts? Trying to get a clearer picture of what's going on behind the scenes. Is this a sign of things to come across other firms too, or is Deloitte just doing its own thing? Curious to hear from others, especially if you have insight into how they're planning to leverage technology for staffing.

Interesting to see the talk about Deloitte trying to leverage advanced tech to prevent future mass layoffs. With the news of the July 9th cuts, it makes you wonder how effective these strategies really are. Are they genuinely trying to optimize talent and projects, or is this just a narrative to soften the blow of inevitable workforce reductions? I've always felt like consulting can be feast or famine. Curious if anyone has insights into how these tech investments are being implemented internally and what the actual impact on staffing and project pipelines looks like on the ground. Does it feel like a proactive move or a reactive one given the current market?

Just saw the report about Deloitte Consulting layoffs happening around July 9th. Anyone have more concrete details? The news sites are always so vague. Was it specific practice areas, performance-based, or more of a broad sweep? I'm in a different division but it's unnerving to see this happen.

Deloitte Consulting - The AI angle and today's news

Hey everyone, saw that article about Deloitte exploring AI to prevent future layoffs. Interesting timing, considering the news today about cuts. I'm not directly affected by this round, thankfully, but it's hard not to think about it. Are we seeing a strategic shift where AI is supposed to absorb some of the work, or is this just corporate speak to calm nerves? Curious to hear from folks who might have more insight into how this AI push is actually impacting project staffing and overall resource planning. Feels a bit like a Schrödinger's cat situation - are jobs safe or aren't they? Anyone on the ground floor seeing AI tools actually replace people's tasks, or is it more about augmenting them for now? Trying to get a sense of the reality versus the narrative.

Deloitte Consulting - AI focus vs. current job security

Reading that article about Deloitte looking to AI to *avoid* future layoffs got me thinking. On one hand, it sounds promising – innovation and efficiency, right? But then we have these recent cuts on July 9th. It feels a bit contradictory, or at least, the timing is ironic. Are these AI initiatives already in play, and if so, why aren't they preventing these current reductions? Or is this more about *future* prevention, and the current situation is just a consequence of prior strategic decisions? It's hard not to feel a bit uneasy about the direction when you hear about investment in future tech while people are still being let go. Anyone else see this as a disconnect? How are people feeling about the firm's investment priorities given the recent news?

Deloitte Consulting - Management's silence on recent cuts is deafening

Another round of cuts at Deloitte Consulting, supposedly happened around July 9th. I'm really frustrated by the lack of transparency from leadership. We're hearing rumors and seeing news snippets, but an official, clear statement on the numbers and reasons? Radio silence. It creates so much uncertainty and anxiety for everyone. People are wondering if their role is secure, if performance reviews will suddenly turn south, or if the pipeline just dried up completely. Feels like we're expected to just absorb this without any real explanation. Makes it hard to stay engaged and motivated when you feel like you're just a cog in a machine that can be replaced without much notice. Is anyone else feeling this way?

Deloitte's AI Push: Will it save jobs or just shift them?

Reading some chatter about Deloitte looking to leverage automation and advanced tech to potentially mitigate future workforce reductions. On one hand, I get it. The consulting world is always chasing efficiency. If the firm can use these tools to handle more work with fewer people, that's a business decision. But on the flip side, it makes you wonder about job security long-term. Are these tools meant to augment the current workforce, or are they a precursor to replacing roles entirely?

So, I saw that article talking about Deloitte (and others) exploring new tech to prevent future layoffs. On one hand, it's good they're thinking ahead, right? Trying to be more efficient and whatnot. But on the other hand, it feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic sometimes. We hear all this talk about innovation and transformation, but then we still see headcount reductions.

My manager is suddenly super focused on 'career pathing' - red flag?

I'm a Senior Consultant, been with the firm for about 3 years, primarily in the Digital Transformation space. For the past month, my manager has been scheduling these really intense 1-on-1s focused on my 'career trajectory' and 'future at Deloitte.' Normally, I'd welcome this, but the questions feel...pointed. They're asking about my aspirations *outside* the firm, my network, and what my 'plan B' looks like. It's making me really paranoid.

Is it just me or is the 'delayering' talk more serious this time around?

Been here about 5 years in the Strategy practice, and lately, the conversations around 'organizational efficiency' and 'right-sizing' feel different. Usually, it's just corporate jargon, but there's a palpable shift. My team lead has been way more quiet about upcoming project pipelines, and even some senior managers seem a bit uneasy. Are others noticing this at their levels or in different parts of Consulting? Feels like more than just the usual end-of-year buzz.

Is internal mobility even possible here anymore?

I've been trying to switch from my current role in Human Capital to something in Tech Consulting for months, but I keep getting ghosted after the initial interview. I’ve updated my resume, networked like crazy, even got a few referrals. Still nothing. Is anyone successfully making internal moves right now, or are all the open positions just 'fake' postings to keep us in our places?

Okay, this might sound paranoid, but I'm genuinely freaked out. I work in Tax and just noticed that a colleague who I frequently collaborate with suddenly has a completely empty calendar.
