I'm an accountant, introverted and not loud. I'm deliberately silent so that I can assess who to allow into my space. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes I am. Those close to me think I'm full out crazy because I have no problem in having a good laugh to where I would fall off the chair. In a social setting, I'm quiet until my kind of music comes on. After my dance floor workout, I'm back to being quiet especially if I'm around someone I do not have in my close circle. Crazy but quite sane.

I cHose accounting because I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with people. Boy, was I disappointed. I hate having to deal with these people and their entitled, pass aggressive, self serving nature.

What's the norm of calling your Managers/Counselors in EY GDS? I'm used to calling everyone by their first name in my previous organization, but here I'm seeing people calling managers and seniors managers "Sir".

The thing is I have just joined and pinged my counselor for certain queries, and used his first name and he never responds although he sees my message. 🤔
