E&Y Down Under is getting into the act, informing a number of people that their services are no longer needed and the word on the street is that some partners may be next:

Black and Yellow isn't saying why things have taken a turn for the worse but apparently the firm is ""struggling to reach the right partner-to-staff ratio," which explains why partner performance is getting a second look.
