Canada Layoffs

Deal flow is bleak right now with multiple clients putting mandates on hold. Moreover, equity markets are slow. Unsure how teams can continue to remain middle-heavy. Heard CIBC had some cuts recently.

Are we expecting industry wide layoffs this summer? Thoughts are welcome.

Pretty concerning audit when it comes to DEI rot at TD. DEI goals set by the board are unrealistic and amount to favouritism. This will only aggravate incompetency and low productivity. 

- Increase representation of women at VP+ in Canada to 45% by 2025 

- Increase black / indigenous representation at VP+  in North America to 25% by 2025

If you are a straight male (White, Arab, Asian, Brown), these goals are bad news as MDs by hook or by crook will try to meet them to save their jobs which means inevitably targeting you guys in any future layoffs. 20% of their annual performance is linked to broader DEI metrics. 

Just imagine how much the system is being rigged to favor women. For instance, you have 3 women in A&A class of 10, fighting for 2 VP spots while 7 men are competing for another 2 spots. The usual rebuttal will be “but but my grandma was discriminated against in 1820”.
