Wouldn't people who were hiring the big guys switch to middle market companies since the former are suddenly too expensive?

Tax was the first at pwc to automate cutting out thousands of hundreds of thousands hours automating tax returns notices. Deloitte also has automated large parts of the compliance. RSM doesn’t want to invest any money and fears losing billable hours. What they don’t get is that the big four automation will allow them to compete on price against RSM and be more profitable.

After the financial crisis, EY and KPMG fired 25% of their Advisory practice. This is worse.

Looking for advice. My wife and I knew we had to go the surrogacy route to grow our family. However, recently we learned that we may also have to go the donor egg path. Although it is possible for my wife to extract her eggs, it would be an uncommon and low probability procedure. She seems fine with the kid not being genetically linked to her or looking like her. I feel selfish that for me genetically linked and similar looking children is important. Anyone with thoughts/experiences to share? Tx

I don’t think that most people they find in the lake went in it willingly. Water makes it too easy to cover up murders. Washes away evidence. But it’s dismissed because most people they found had also been drinking. But people just disappearing miles away from the Lake don’t just fall in it. Yes, suicide happens. But many of these cases show zero signs of anything like that. The constant MO is being out with friends having fun. The friend vanishes. Then is found in the lake weeks later.

Would you support state-level abortion determinism if there were also federal standards and requirements on providing sex education beginning in middle school, free contraceptives provided at schools, and no state limits on access to non-abortion contraceptives?

Essentially, eliminate abstinence-based education policies and replace them with progressive, sex-positive curricula, ensure there are no barriers to preventative contraceptives, but maybe your state also outlaws all abortions always?

(For background: I’m diagnosed bipolar and medicated, and have been in touch w my therapist about this already. Just curious to see if anyone else is relating at the moment so I feel less alone, and to see if anyone has any coping mechanisms I might not have tried yet)

Thx 🐠🐟🐡😘

Hi there - my company is returning to office next month. Hybrid to begin before they ramp up to 5 days back in office by end of year.
