To the idiot who posted this, please read the post and think before replying! I've said I heard it was about 2-3 months, it should be obvious where I got that information from (the companies duh!). However, it's a range and I'm not entirely confident in their answer so I wanted to get some real responses from real people. Look, if you can't read or you can't comprehend the English in my post - fair enough, but if you want to reply, at least write something worth reading!Zeenit wrote:Well said and I have bitten my tongue on this post......durain wrote:why dont you ask the company during your interview? at least it shows your "interest" in the company.
All I can say to the idiot is read the post and think again.
Really? Quite the opposite of what I read. I'll have to find the link as I was quickly browsing and I saw one of the Big 4 was actually cutting management salaries (not sure what this actually means) from 5 to 8%. No word about any staff cuts, but I would assume that it would trickle down to them via very low raises, if any, and slashed bonuses, if any. The firm, KPMG, said it believed those reductions would be enough to stave off any retrenchments and that it predicted revenue growth to resume next year. Anyways, scary stuff when I think about it, but it's not unlike other industries which seem to be implementing the same strategies of pay cuts, forced furloughs, and then of course lay-offs!sundaymorningstaple wrote:Well, it would seem the local big 4 companies are prepared to stick their necks out on the chopping block anyway. Seems that today in one of the local morning broadsheets they claim that they will be hiring but only at about 80% of normal. They did indicate that it would be probably due to compliance and restructuring audits. They also indicated (3 of the 4) that it would only be lower entry positions and a few senior positions. Not too sure what that means, but I read it as they might be looking to get rid of a few overpriced seniors to put the companies in line with everybody else. They will probably be picking up replacements from those already shed by other companies and only if they're willing to negotiate. We'll see.......
I cannot post the link here due to copyright issues however I've found a link to an online article which is the same one as was in a local business paper. As I cannot post the link here I've sent you a PM for your reading pleasure......johnny_pdx wrote:Really? Quite the opposite of what I read.
