Rough start for Lefty. Bogey on 3, double on 4. +3 thru 4. Let's turn this around!

Layoff Watch ’11: KPMG Cuts IT Support Staff
- Caleb Newquist
- January 19, 2011
Fyi- I’m forced to write this on my mobile so anyone that notes typos can piss off.
Anyhoo, for whatever reason, the KPMG beat is awfully hot today. This latest scoop we have is the unfortunate news that layoffs have reared their ugly head in Monty:
Caleb,
No chatter on the ~200 layoffs at KPMG IT support staff in Montvale this past Friday whose positions went to IBM outsourcing?
Oddly enough, we did hear about this just yesterday and hadn’t had the time to check it out. Now that we’ve been spurred into action, this confirms the original tip we received about the IT staff and that the work was going to IBM. This is the first news we received about the staff in Montvale, the original news we received was with regard to the New York office, a staff of approximately 17, we were told.
These in-house IT layoffs feel oddly familiar to the cuts made by PwC late last summer, who also planned to outsource those positions. P. Dubs also stated that they would offer some professionals other opportunities within the firm and would be creating a number of new jobs in the Tampa area, where those cuts occurred. So far there hasn’t been any indication that KPMG was doing something similar.
A message with KPMG spokesman Dan Ginsburg’s office was not immediately returned. We’ll keep you updated with any further details.

Promotion Watch: KPMG Hands Out New Stripes Today
- Caleb Newquist
- July 1, 2010
A source reminded us that today is welcome to your new personal hell job day in the house that Klynveld built:
“Today is July 1st promotion day for KPMG…figured it can be a post item shoutout.”
So that’s exactly what we’re doing. Congrats to those of you enjoying a new title and feel free to pat yourself on the back below but don’t get all Sally Field on us. That’s just embarrassing.
As far as the promotion bonus is concerned…that may be another matter. But if the last three months of the fiscal year go well, who knows what can happen come fall?
UPDATE: We’ve been notified that there hasn’t been any word in at least one office (Southeast) on promotions which strikes us as strange but…HEY! anything is possible. If you’re in the dark, let us know or discuss.
