EA1, if your “friend” really was fired for getting too drunk, it’s pretty apparent he’s the one lacking in professionalism. An anonymous question about an anonymous person in fishbowl isn’t the problem.

Experienced accountant - give us a break. This type of thing is exactly what fishbowl is for. No one is naming names and I’m sure there are rumors a plenty etc. side not - it’s same as one guy that got hammered at our holiday party and was very lucky not to get fired. How people are so immature they can’t recognize a work setting and figure out shouldn’t get hammered is beyond me

Yes I am unprofessional for asking if this actually happens on fishbowl. I am okay with that and want to know if it was just true and if it was just getting drunk because that sounds a little too severe

This is very unprofessional to put someone else’s business out there. This is actually someone I know well and his career just took a huge hit because of 1 mistake. We are all human

it wasn't because he was drunk, it was because he forgot to bring his laptop to the out of town training

Haha I was just trolling. I don’t know anything about this. I just knew that EY gossipers would be quick to defend OP. Whoever it was should learn to hold their liquor better!

Yeah, it’s got to be something worse than just getting drunk because we would lose half of our people under that standard.

Lol this reminds me of a story at my client. Big public company in nyc. Apparently at the holiday party, an employee got drunk and got the ceo's coat and threw it into the middle of the street. Holiday parties were cancelled for the next few years.

Definitely not worth risking your job....its just that when people drink it's very easy for it to get out of hand and it sneaks up on you. People do need to keep themselves to a maximum of only 2 or 3 drinks at work functions.

At the new senior training in Orlando last year, one girl was so drunk that she got sick/passed out in the handicap bathroom at Sea World. Once she unlocked the door, the staff kicked her out. Oh, and she still works for the firm. 🏆

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
