Deloitte USI gave 2 extra days of collective disconnect kinda holiday this year.

Just one extra day. Friday (5 th) was already a Diwali holiday. They just included Thursday to make it a 4-day weekend.

Deloitte Canada has given a whole handful of Friday “Deloitte Days” throughout the year (some half day, some full). I think it works out to a long weekend every month now, and all the time between Christmas and New Years.

Yes, 5 extra days

When is the unplugged day?

It’s firm wide in Australia.

Do they have this for EY US?

There is a concept of blocked leaves across the big4s, if I understand it correctly. This is usually 5days, 3days firm sponsored and two deducted from your leave balance

Deloitte Global gets the last week of the year off as a company disconnect and we get two extra days off for TG. This doesn’t count towards our PTO. So ultimately we get like 7 extra days off this year. And I believe we had the an extra day as a disconnect for the 4th as well.

None for PwC yet, though Assurance typically get 2 days like this every other year if certain targets are met (or close to met lol).
