Big accounting firms churning people because they don't care, their clients pay for any inefficiency. And the system is set up that firm makes their money 32 billable hours per week, they get these idiots do 60 that's either gravy or uncollected bills at worst.
Also, yeah system is a pyramid, so you need large base to support the parasite at the top.
They are running into issues now since work is getting rather complex and they need to maintain a lot of managers who actually know how do the job. These people command premium and job hop to get good salary. Firms hate these people. Fake promises of partnership don't work no more.
Switch jobs every few years to get that 20% wage increase they deny you.
Microsoft is a mega corp they do this to lesser extent, they want everybody to remember that they can be layoffs.
Other tech is doing this too now, they looking to suppress wages of developers specifically.
Issue is that we do have excess delovepers due to decade long shill campaign, other professionals are in short supply esp competent mid level ie people who actually make shot happen. Hence why tech layoffs outside of developers is idiotic practice. But this ain't about the money, this about sending the message.
