Very good friend of mine keeps telling horrible stories of Deloitte and how they treated the Australian workforce horribly last year when COVID hit

^ This.

Those who were left behind are now getting fast tracked because no one else is left to do mountains of work. Everyone else who isn't director or above is told to work day and night and weekends with directors texting you to log on after dinner and family duties - the catch is that if you actually send an email at 3am (because that's what time you work till every night) then a partner comes and has a 'talk' to you.

Very little tbh. They are all so big that culture is only likely to vary across cities or business units.

But as a whole, the only differences are the colour palettes.

I can definitely say that EYs culture is better than Deloitte and PwC based on experiences shared by people.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
