Did big four bribe the survey administrators? How could these companies be rated top best companies to work for while the unhappiness is so widespread on fishbowl?

I lie on the survey. It's win win. The higher my firm ranks the higher in prestige it receives. So when I leave bc things suck, at least the general public will think I work for a great firm.

I think you have to consider, people who are unhappy are more likely to express their unhappiness, while happy or indifferent people will keep it to themselves.

No idea if this is true but I was told that Working Mother's magazine survey is sent to specific locations. Probably totally made up. But I've been with the firm 12 years and I've never seen one of the outside surveys...

While it is true that fishbowl is a bitching grounds, how many of you know people who are actually super happy about working in public accounting? Almost nobody is. Certainly not the majority as those phony surveys would have you believe.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲
