Have any firms been vocal on the rise in anti-Asian racism in the news lately? I haven't heard anything from my leadership teams and it has been rather disappointing.

Deloitte sent out an email earlier this week to “stand with our Asian colleagues” along with well wishes for lunar new year.

Good start considering no other firm seems to acknowledge it

Those in Asian affinity groups should collectively use their voice to raise this national concern. Asians make up a large portion of B4 accountants, esp on the coasts, and we are getting brutally murdered and assaulted everyday for no reason other than racism.

Especially disappointing and unnerving considering leadership has commented on every single event possible lately but the anti-Asian incidents have been consistently and conveniently left out..

Our CEO sent out an email recently to the firm addressing the issue, saying how there is zero tolerance for any type of harassment towards Asian Americans at the firm, and encouraging to support each other. Our Asian business resource group also held a firm-wide virtual Together As One session within the past week for us to share personal stories, support each other, and address the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes.

Tim Ryan mentioned it in an email last week that was sent on LNY. But easily missed since it was one of our frequent “PwC Inside” emails instead of separate email or specifically noting it in the email subject. Disappointing.

That's too bad, particularly given the current incidents. Where are you located?

Update from EY - there was an email from US Asian network leadership that went just to the network, but I really liked that there was also a separate companion email from the leader of the Black professionals network as well. Nothing from Canadian leadership, but I guess no one here likes to make a fuss about anything because we're just too nice

For example.. in PIP Litigation I can review my suits at 2 am if needed (as a result of having a rough day or other emergency) and still be in compliance

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?
