According to a media report, the employees of the management consultancy McKinsey are facing the biggest wave of layoffs in the company’s history. About 2,000 jobs are to be cut, the Bloomberg agency reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Accordingly, employees who are not in direct contact with customers are particularly affected. “We are transforming the way our non-customer teams work for the first time in more than a decade, so these teams can effectively support and grow with our business,” said a company spokesman. The newspaper reported last week Financial Timesthat KPMG is the first of the four largest public accounting firms in the world, along with EY, Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers, to reduce its US workforce by two percent.
