Everything began March 20th, when several people were put in firm paid leave until May 15th. They had a meeting with internal client facing personnel stating changes and that they would do everything they could to find alternate work/tasks for individuals that had skill sets to do so. Then less than 24 hours later the calls came putting people on leave deeming them “non-essential.” Leaving doubts that any efforts were made to find alternate placements to keep people employed.
Then the day after Tax Day, a blood bath occurred laying off 300-400 employees. Those that were on Firm Paid leave until May 15th have not heard anything regarding their final terms. Nobody in Firm paid leave has been asked to sign anything either. Yet all access to everything Crowe was cut immediately and has been since. The individuals they have kept range from catering/meeting personnel to multiple “front desk” personnel which does not seem essential during this time, yet hardworking Crowe “lifers” who have given their all have been termed and given a 1 month “thanks for all you did” severance. Absolutely sickening.
Upper management is where the cuts should have been targeted. Multiple personnel doing the same job or simply delegating.
