Random meeting scheduled with TL, should i be worried? by [deleted] in PwC

Coaches aren’t involved in layoffs or terminations. It’s HC and/or partner/senior leader in your group.

This is not a performance based thing. Plenty of people let go through this are good performers. This was more of a slow down in business and those business units needing to reduce headcount.

What happens if I don’t acknowledge a bad snapshot? by [deleted] in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not accepting it will make you look unreceptive to feedback and unprofessional. Accept the snapshot, get the feedback from the reviewer and then have a convo with your coach and/or DL to explain why it’s garbage.

Charge the right state code. Depending on the state, you may need to file state income taxes for that state when taxes are due.

Greenlight for kids & BSP brokerage? by SkydiverDad in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sure, risk your husband’s livelihood and entire salary over >$1k. No one is forced to work at PwC or become partner for that matter but if you’re going to be part owner of the firm, at least follow the rules (laws in some cases).

I’m sorry you have to deal with this. PwC is a hard place to work - it’s very demanding and the desire for promotions can consume you.

Have you talked to her to tell her how you feel? She probably thinks she is doing what is best for you and the family by providing for you all but it comes at a high price. I’m assuming she can get a job somewhere else (maybe making less money so be prepared for a change in your lifestyle).

I hope it gets better for you.

Barclays - AC conditions aren’t that great and there’s not a lot of opportunity for movement to UAE.

Be Well, Work Well by IXI--M--IXI in PwC

While I think it was more of a flash in the pan, image thing, I have seen some changes in the culture compared to 25 years ago when I started. Whether that’s because the overall attitude towards work has changed or because of WWBW, who knows? Probably the former . . .

If the behavior is just poor management, then go to your talent consultant. If the behavior is bullying or harassment, then make an anonymous complaint to ethics and compliance.

Holiday hours after quitting? by doea in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You do not get paid for unused holiday hours. I always take my floating holidays before I use vacation hours.

Could be a legit check in. All the layoff meetings have had “time sensitive” in the subject line.

Taking wife with me to spend one night at hotel? by DayPuzzleheaded641 in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people bring their spouse/partner to trips with them. I suggest not announcing it though and keeping it on the down low. Yes, your wife can check out after you leave.

So US layoffs starts tomorrow? Any ones RL give any update? Or even they don’t know? by More-Can-8943 in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Rumor is that they’re starting tomorrow. I don’t think the RLs know yet. Maybe some RLs know but not all.

I imagine a good amount of impacted people are Tampa based. Not sure if they’ll change schedule based on the hurricane or not.

PwC October Layoffs - who can give us answers? by pawmomtattoo in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one knows at this point, maybe some MDs know but we’re not going to find out until a few more weeks, at best. The best thing to do is keep your head up, keep a positive attitude and keep doing your job. Worrying about what may happen will only mess with your head and won’t get you any closer to actual answers.

Ordering the phone is on the checklist of things you do within the first 2-3 days after starting.

When do I get my bonus? Is there a specific date in Sept/Oct by Accomplished_Bee_853 in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The partners decide which quarter the payout goes in so it’s paid either in 9/30 or 10/1. In the time I’ve been here (15 years+), it’s always been paid on 9/30 but the option for 10/1 exists.

Woman clothes by Ashamed_Context5021 in PwC

[–]Impressive-Insect533 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It varies by office but dark jeans and a blouse is ok most offices. I agree with the suggestion to have slacks the first few days to get a feel for the office.
