This comical, insightful goss from an anonymous PWC spy earlier today:
“Neil” down or get taken down. Seems the good news machine at PWC continues spreading propoganda with last week a new entry to the calendar – an internal firm services town hall. these are the poor IT and Operations schleps who are at the beck and call of partners and the oddly named Chief Costs Officer “Neil” Wilson. In an effort to encourage morale Neils summonsed all 500 staff to a dark 3 star hotel ballroom for a 2 hour workshop; what staff were faced with was news that decisions on job offshoring to India would be made before christmas, some bad jokes and attempts at reaching the people and in what one person said was insulting a reference to the fact that even broom sweepers at NASA were as respected as a PwC foot soldier!!!!!!!Staff left confused and offended that the HR whizz kid thought this was a good idea… and only made things worse. The CCO is also behind cost cutting on the biscuits and other initiatives designed presumably that people will resign before they get retrenched. We are also informed that the CCO is a keen firmspy reader and is often seen looking at our website and enjoying the honest views of staff.
Three stars? Was there some share-room action too? It is nice to have someone to whom we can address our hostilities regarding the objectionable procession of PWC cost cuts witnessed in recent times. Brace yourself Neil!

Another pathetic story by minority cynical and immature staff focussing on all things negative. As always, no attempt has been made to be constructive.
JS is probably a deluded individual in upper management and is blind to see the truth of how the staff feel. I gurantee that if a Voluntary redundancy system came out, there would be a huge exodus.
There is little comfort in company loyalty when great long term staff get made redundant.
If your not in departments earning dollars for the company – you can be easily outsourced to Asia/India.
They can, they will and they have.
