PWC Staff ‘Twiddle Thumbs’ As Partners Attend Boozy Spring Carnival

Posted by The Spy | Posted in Firm Gossip, PriceWaterhouseCoopers | Posted on 2.46pm

Hilarious anonymous tip from a PWC spy earlier today:

So, I have been at PwC for a few years now… Melbourne Cup came around and my Big 4 friends told me of all the great parties their firms are organising, yet what do PwC do? Nothing. Every year they’ve done something for the cup, yet this year we’re sitting around twiddling our thumbs. So, while all the Partners and Managers go off to their client’s functions, us consultants and grads are left twiddling our thumbs for hours. And to add insult to injury, the managing partner sent around an email reminding us of responsible conduct at social events! Thanks for that - I don’t even get the chance to violate the code. To say everyone at the office was pissed is an understatement. I can’t wait to hear the results of the annual satisfaction survey because I’ve heard some absolutely damning responses from my colleagues going down.
Damning responses? We’ve heard plenty of those too.  Take, for example, the scathing assessment of the ditching of the humble office Tim-Tam. Woe betide! What about the incredible forewarning that some staff were rumoured to have been given to ‘start looking for a new job’? Damning indeed!
Spring carnival booze-fest. anyone?
