Accounting firms are one of the few places left that are a meritocracy. Either throw yourself into an honest evaluation of your value, or admit that you aren’t as important as you think you should be. And everyone else agrees.

likeupliftingfunny

Don’t disagree that small/boutique will naturally lend itself to being closer to a meritocracy. Your impact is easier to monitor and results of your actions are direct. I think you might find banks less meritocratic along with many other large companies.

The number of kool-aid drinkers in this thread is astounding

It’s strange, almost suspicious. On this app there’s always a lot of kool-aid drinks that are quick to jump on these kinds of threads, but on my actual team and amongst my colleagues (even amongst PPMDs), almost nobody drinks it. Makes me wonder 🤔

Not going to lie- I’ve fantasized about a “senior strike” for years. What would happen if all seniors sat on the bench for a week? 🤔

likefunny

What would happen is that eventually the strike would end, deadlines will still be in place, and they'll only return to even more pressure!

So down

like

A strike is only going to work if a large enough percentage of staff/seniors (and perhaps even managers) take part of it. I could see a firm firing 10-20% of an office’s people without hesitation if they were to go on strike

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
