I can’t believe no one has announced on here yet that KPMG has joined the other firms in having jeans all year. Consider this your PSA.

Lol EY1 you just stated exactly why the firm moved towards these millennial baits. People will pick a firm that values casual work environment /remote work, because this generation of workers (mostly) isn’t going paycheck to paycheck. Would I pay $10k to be able to work whenever / wherever I want and not wear a uniform? Yeah probably, cuz I’m the grand scheme of things $10k isn’t gonna make or break my lifestyle

Let’s re-focus though that there is nothing anywhere on the US Portal about this and I didn’t receive any “notification” that this is now policy. I’d love OP to expound on in what forum he was notified of this.

The notification said national firm-wide policy, so unless you’re working for KPMG outside the US...

Or this is one of those things where like when people held onto slaves for decades after emancipation was implemented because they just didn’t tell them they were free 🧐🧐🧐

Totally agree with you KPMG 1. Funny how all the big 4 firms including ours of course would do all these things to lure dumb millennials into working hard for less money. Hey if you want to lure this millennial, show me the money. I don’t mind suiting it up 24/7/365 if you pay me substantially more. Jeans and these small stupid perks don’t make a difference to me.

What I’ve been informed is that this is currently an office-by-office initiative and it’s being rolled out in phases and pretty much up to OMP discretion.

Wait....there’s B4 firm that didn’t have a jeans policy until just now? Sounds like a couple years behind the curve. 😜

Real talk. Every new perk that we roll out, all I think is “how much more could they have paid me instead of this dumb shit?"

KPMG 1, it doesn't cost them anything to let you wear jeans, so it didn't have any bearing on the budget or your pay in all likelihood.

Just going to toss this out there OP, never compare being able to wear jeans to slavery again. Not cool

Jeans fine, but I had a senior who showed up in flip flops and jersey palazzo pants every day. T-shirts on Fridays. That was weird.

We got a notification from our OMP, but he provided a link to the dress code policy within the policy center. Before it didn’t say jeans under ‘dos’

I have a rather long question. If I run out of space, I will continue in the first comment. I sponsor a GSA. There is a trans student who is always making sardonic comments in inappropriate times. We were talking recently, and every time a student bared their soul, this kid would make a joke out of it. The students who were speaking felt that they were not heard, and all of the attention was focused on this trans student.
