Anyone feel like our new associates have become very entitled? Maybe it’s just my office but it’s been frustrating because the rest of the team ends up picking up the slack. Let’s me real, being a first year sucks but we’ve all been there and you move up the totem pole, and if you have to do some less glamorous tasks just accept it.

Maybe it’s just those on your team? I know my peers in my start class and I all work our asses off on anything we’re assigned, so I would disagree with this assessment if you were on my team, but I can’t speak for yours.

Yup. We have a guy that does a shitty job of anything he doesn't feel like working on to deter people from asking him to do it again. He's basically selecting what to work on and the higher ups are falling for it. They actually see him as an asset for doing a good job on the stuff he does like to work on. 😒

Let me guess. Are you with EY?

Doesn’t every single person say this every single year?

It depends on what you mean by "entitled." If they're demanding to audit more high-risk, complex, and interesting areas, then of course that's not reasonable. But if they simply want to be provided the idiosyncratic background knowledge necessary to complete their tasks and be allowed to ask reasonable questions about their audit steps, that's not entitlement.
