Yes I know of 2. A girl in my start class didn’t do anything. Like literally it was 1pm during busy season and she’d be no where to be found, not in the office, not online. This would happen for days and weeks at a time. Running joke was even the national guard couldn’t find her. The other one was a guy in my start class. Supposedly at the client site he walked out during the client meeting, wandered into their kitchen, took chicken wings out of the fridge (some employees lunch not provided food) went back into the meeting and proceeded to eat chicken wings while smacking the entire time. Supposedly he did weird stuff like that a lot and the directors and managers hated him. Both were “not promoted to A2” which I never thought was possible…I thought the 2 just meant 2 years?! And then they were fired shortly after. This was back in 2016.

I think it was in the morning. I always laugh thinking of the poor employee heading to the fridge at lunch looking forward to his chicken wings, and not finding them.

I have had to let a few go, even in these times. When your team would rather work a person down instead of deal with a staff on their engagement, you know it is bad.

Ditto. Bad at their job and out they went at the end of their 1st year. Maybe 2 years ago when that happened. Might be happening again this year…too soon to say for that guy.

I’ve seen all levels, from EAs to partners, get fired in the last 20 years. Most recent was a partner 1 year ago.

I don’t know why the partners were fired. The EAs were fired for not doing their job and incompetence. I’ve seen staff fired several reasons - working for another firm while still employed by PwC, using corporate card to pay for $30k of personal expenses, never doing the work that was assigned to them.
