Deloitte Learning & Development Cuts Amid Claims of Growth

– 23 June 2009Posted in: Deloitte, Firm Gossip

Will computers make it through the rumoured cuts?

Despite boasting double digit growth, implementing a firm-wide pay freeze, and amid continued rumours of secret sackings, there are some rumours that Deloitte is considering cuts to its learning and development team.

We received the following tip from a Deloitte spy earlier:

Deloitte has just announced significant cuts to it’s learning and development policy. I can fwd you the email, however I need an address to send it to [return email deleted]

What’s next, calling for donations? We unfortunately never received the email, though we invite the anonymous source to send it if they are able — our email address is news@firmspy.com.

‘Fail 3 CA Subjects & You’re Fired’; Deloitte CA Policy

1 December 2009

In response to our articles profiling the CA policies of Big4 accounting firms, first at PwC and then at Ernst & Young, we received the following anonymous tip from a Deloitte spy: Look Deloitte is not too far behind. Experienced analysts only earn $2k more a year than grads. Also, if you fail 1 subject you get a warning, 2 subjects a written warning and 3… you’re fired! You'll recall that at Ernst & Young, the following was sent to us: I’d like to mention that Ernst & Young also has the same policy to PwC in terms of failing 2 CA subjects and you’re out. But on top of that, if we fail a subject we owe E&Y $1k (per subject) for study assistance /time off etc. Can you believe it? We already work ridiculous hours to get through the piles of work AND we also hav...

Succession of Deloitte Voicemails Create Pay Freeze Confusion

27 November 2009

We reported several weeks ago the technonological indiosyncracy of Deloitte - "send the punters voicemails, that way a bad news email cant be flicked to media". This is excellent in theory but in practice, if you've got a catalogue of disgruntled employees feverishly transcribing the contents of the voicemail, then, bad news can still travel fast. Take, for example, the horrible news that a couple of Deloitte workers were reportedly sacked for organising a weekend bag of sniff over a Deloitte-owned communication device. We received the following message from an anonymous Deloitte spy a few days ago: Hi, I am a new follower of firmspy and this is my first contribution. My latest news is about Deloitte. Recently, we received two voicemails from Keith Skinner, CFO, (both on Frida...

Double-Dilution Dismay; Major Developments in Clayton Utz/Allen & Overy Defection Debacle

11 February 2010

We reported yesterday on the astute comments from an anonymous spy that the A&O foray into Australian soil might do no more than dilute its healthy equity pool. It is, of course, a huge risk. And while A&O risks the dilution of its equity, it appears that the defection may also soon result in a major additional strain on the remaining value of the equity points at Clayton Utz. This incredible update from an anonymous Clutz spy last night: I am told that a group of my colleagues, ranging from senior associates to senior lawyers, met privately yesterday to discuss the demands they would place on the Clayton Utz partnership to remain at the firm. I suspect, though I cannot be certain, that the senior associates/lawyers remaining in the affected (defective?) groups will be ...
