It is a different kind of bickering emanating out of KPMG today. Usually we see employees lamenting their treatment at the hands of those superior to them, not those their equivalent. However, Firm Spy corporate bitching has been recast by the following sentiments received from an anonymous KPMG spy:
As a member of the KPMG Audit group - the group keeping the entire organisation above water – I find it difficult to digest the pay conditions levied against us… Im not alone in thinking that our pay reviews should be benchmarked against our performance in isolation, and not tied to how the firm travels more broadly… for example we should be paid more than tax and advisory…
Some of the more colourful comments have been edited. When harsh pay conditions and pay freezes are applied to an entire organisation, it is inevitable that some groups outperforming others will decry their remuneration and stigmatise the underperformers. But is it justified? Can anything less than fantastic employee remuneration be justified by the same Big4 accounting firm that:
- hoards ‘good’ banned employees;
- apparently saved $4,500,000.00 by reducing its graduate intake;
- is rumoured to force its staff to work ungodly hours; and
- implemented a laughable ‘Poo Poll’?
