I've never heard a manager call themselves executives
Totally is... people need to get over themselves
Only MDs, Partners and Principals are executives.
Not even SMs. They are pretty much just Ms with higher sales goals. Smh.
This is just comical and so B4 🙄🙄🙄
^i agree. My manager and SM need to learn how to shut up
I have been at EY 18 years and never heard managers called executives. I have just not heard the term used at EY at all. Managers, however, are in management..it is why we call them managers.
That is awkward. Partners are not even executives. We are servicing executives but does not make us them.
Better check ey atlas. audit executives are managers up per GAM
It’s the terminology the firm uses.
Senior managers and up are generally considered part of the leadership team but not sure executive is the right term. I wouldn't even call any partner an executive. The only executives are those that are part of national (i.e. CEO, COOL, CFO, etc.) and steer the firm nationally, not the local leaders.
I'm a manager and I've never heard that and certainly don't think of myself as an executive. Is this regional?
I haven't seen managers calling themselves executives but i've seen in one of the guidances that executive means manager and above
Haven't ever heard a manager call themselves an executive. I don't call myself an executive either.
At EY and I would assume most everywhere, manager and above is considered and "executive" however we generally don't refer to ourselves that way. I'm. It sure why everyone is getting so caught up in the terminology. When I made manager and attended training, I was told that I was an executive of the firm. What that means simply is that you represent the firm in a more meaningful way to both clients and internal employees. What you say is now considered a representation of the firm's views. A client wouldn't necessarily have the expectation that they can rely on advice from a senior, but they would expect to rely on a manager. Also, if you had concerns as a staff about being harassed or career goals, you wouldn't raise them to a senior. You would raise them to a manager or above and that person is held accountable once you have voiced your concern. That isn't the case if you raise a concern to a senior who is not considered an executive. For example, when I was in training I was told that as a manager if someone complained to me about being sexually harassed, I am required to report it even if the person told me not to. As far as I know that is not the case with a senior. That is why seniors and mangers have different training for both harassment and independence.
Never heard anyone call themselves executives in PA. Granted, I am not in the upper circles so who knows how many people break their arms patting themselves on the back.
It was the norm when I worked there. The client always laughed when others said it. I completely avoided the term when I worked there.
Have you ever been to a fall or spring executive event? It’s M2s and above I believe.
