EY is capping phone bill coverage to $60/mo and no longer paying for Platinum amex card fee of $395 a year. About $1,000 less in total benefits annually! Wtf!

Literally just saw this. Managers and above get $150/month for telecom right now, so I'm effectively having my pay cut by $1,080 per year. So annoying.

People are forgetting phone bills are paid after taxes. The true benefit is x1.25-35% in pretax income. Every FT in my practice has a wi-fi card for engagement teams, so our bills are often $150+ with the data plans. Easily a $1,350 annual hit.

Frankly I feel you were lucky to have them pay for the Plat Amex in the first place. It's only covered at D for SM👆🏻

The worst.

This is total horseshit... I don't have the plat card, but the phone cap is absurd!

Do they give an option to have a phone line directly thru EY? And they pay the entire bill?

They don't give you the option to have a separate work phone as far as I know

@PwC --nope, but I think it used to be an option 4 or 5 years ago.

Huh. This sucks.

So you use your personal phones for all calls??

@McK1 yeah we basically need to use our personal cell phones

So when you are manager, do you use all of the $150 for phone bills?

I mean $150 is more than sufficient..my phone bill is $45 per month

lol I am still paying off 6s and not looking forward to spending $20 more each month

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
