WORST. DAY. EVER.

watercooler.jpgThe first post-holiday workday is tough. We’re pretty sure most of you are to the point of seriously considering packing it up because the melancholy is too much for you. For those of you that aren’t using a cocktail of illegal prescriptions to get you through this day, get caught up on some stuff you may have missed last week. It will help you make it to lunch at least.
• Deloitte Tops Business Week’s “Top Place to Launch a Career”. E&Y, PwC, KPMG round out the top four. GT landed at 51. Highest three year retention rate for these five was 56%.
• E&Y bans Pandora, seemingly to save on bandwidth. It’s still worth bitching about.
• Nearly half of you didn’t work this holiday weekend which means half of you did work (12% worked all weekend). Of course, lots of you probably didn’t get asked to take mandatory PTO.
• Surprisingly, bitterness is rampant.
• RSM McGladrey seems to have a good understanding of why men are interested in golf.
Feel better people, it’s a short week (for some).

Layoff Watch ’10: Grant Thornton January Edition

We’ve confirmed that an all-personnel call went out at Grant Thornton today warning everyone at the firm about upcoming layoffs.
One of our sources told us that the audit practice leader stated that it would primarily be cuts at the senior manager and partner level and that they are to take place “immediately”. Our source indicated that non-client serving personnel would also be affected.
Another source told us that there would be restructuring at the partner level which could be coming down from the new senior leadership team that the firm announced yesterday.
We are still trying to obtain details about the timing and number of professionals that may be affected. A Grant Thornton spokesperson has yet to return our email seeking comment. If you’ve got more details to share about the call discuss below or if you prefer to send us the details, get in touch.
