Thanks to the PWC spy who sent us the following comments in response to our recent story that some PWC are rumoured to have been told to start looking for a new job:

office-workers jostled over the last two bikkies

I also work at PwC and have heard rumblings about further cuts. In the last few weeks we have lost the chocolate biscuits on all floors in the Sydney office. The latest Pulse (staff survey) should be very interesting —- I’d say reflecting the terrible morale and negative feeling in the firm generally. Can PwC get any worse??? maybe it is time to look somewhere else?

This apparent cut in discretionary spend comes mere months after the Big4 accounting firm instituted a novel means to cut costs - implementing an unpaid leave of absence across the firm. At the time, PWC Chief Executive partner Mark Johnson said:

this is one of the better strategic things we have done in some time.

If this was such a strategic masterpeice, Mark, why was it necessary to ditch the humble office Tim-Tam?
