‘Whoppers’! PwC Partner Neil Wilson Battles Massive Man Boobs

Posted by The Spy | Posted in Law and disorder, PriceWaterhouseCoopers | Posted on 10.14am

Thanks to the anonymous spy who tipped us off to the life-long male bosom saga confronting PwC Chief Operatios Officer Neil Wilson. Had we had our collective melons screwed on correctly we probably would have seen the AFR article (4/3) in the first place!

In a remarkable “men’s health” piece appearing in last Thursday’s AFR, PwC partner Wilson, the figure we once rebuked for allegedly sending Australian PwC jobs offshore to India, walks us step by step through a life living with man boobs.

“Since his chubby adolescence [Wilson] had silently lived with male breasts, feeling self-conscious but never knowing anything could be done about them. As a youth he had been embarrassed changing in the locker room and as an adult… he never wore tight tops. Polo shirts were out… and so was lycra, even though he was a committed cyclist. He was was always comfortable going to work at PwC … because loose-fitting business shirts with buttons and a pocket provided some disguise.”

Breast distress! What is a corporate partner to do when he is jugg-a-lugg full of melon-choly?

As luck would have it, Wilson, whilst thumbing through the paper one morning discovered that breast-reduction surgery was an option.

“whilst reading the paper over breakfast in London last year, Wilson’s attention was caught by [a story] which said that increasing numbers of men are now having breast-reduction surgery… [Soon after] he had himself referred to a cosmetic breast surgeon. At the first consultation the surgeon asked him to remove his shirt. ”Wow!” he said. “These are whoppers, I’ve never seen any as big as these.”

Wilson knew his breasts looked fleshy. 

In subsequent breast reduction surgery, the sugeon is reported to have removed 160 grams of breast tissue which the doctor described as “a lot”.

Now, several months after the surgery, Wilson is satisfied with his new chest. With that familiar degree of corporate partner modesty,  Wilson told the AFR:

“At 50, I didn’t expect I would come out with a male model chest, but I’ve been working hard with weights and can wear a skin-tight top and look reasonable.”

Does your chest look reasonable? Do you suffer from bitch-tits?

    Maybe if he didn’t send the jobs to India he might have less money to spend on eating. Must be a terrible thing getting bonuses and extra revenue share for making whole departments redundant and sending offshore.

    Whoppers Wilson. Love it.

    Firmspy! I notice that you refer to the outsourcing to India (and resulting redundancy of many formerly loyal longstanding staff) “allegedly”. Make no mistake there is nothing “allegedly” about it, it’s going ahead at full steam with April 30 the likely date for final changeover from what I hear. There is no way these Indians can do what the current group in Australia do, these Indians have no idea what they are doing. I feel sorry for the Aussies. This is a disgrace.

    Thanks firmspy for reminding us at PwC that our COO would rather spend $$$ on a boob job than his own people!! what is funnier is the HC strategy which includes the upcoming recognition program for staff - maybe they can include plastic surgery as a reward?? or what about Mark Johnson’s initiative to save staff leaving the firm - its called Agility - perfect for Neil now he has successfully come through his op! Bravo!

    Please this is unfair - if you have a problem please raise it with you HR relationship manager who can restate your problem as an appreciative inquiry style question and nod politely while telling you about a seminar available on yoga - giving a better team experience at the Freshwater Place office
