Maybe if you’re a staff and if the manager is on a phone call with two partners, he shouldn’t have to tell you twice to STFU.

How rude of the manager to think the audit room is his personal office. How about you stfo. Step the Ef Out! We’ve got an audit to complete here...

KPMG 1: I’m a staff. my senior, manager, and I were all discussing how a potential MW would affect our audit areas. The two staff that were not affected by this potential issue kept chatting and laughing and literally screaming at each other’s jokes. The manager paused the call and politely asked them to keep it down. After 5 minutes they started up again. The manager halted the call and just stared at them for a few seconds. It was obnoxious, and not a call he should have taken outside.

Do you just assume that, regardless of where you are, everyone around you needs to be quiet because you’re on the phone?

If it’s important go get a room or take the call elsewhere like a normal person. Shouldn’t have to explain this to a manager.

As a manager I have had to ask the partner to STFU a few times when he is having non-audit related conversations in the audit room and I’m trying to talk on the phone

@D1 lmao

SC1, in my particular case it is usually a conference call which multiple members of the team are joining in the partner is talking and carrying on in the background.

Why aren’t you inviting your staff to be on the phone call? Certainly they would be silent then.

I don’t follow. So 3 of you on the call were in the same room? If so - then yes these staff are ridiculous. If not in same room - I agree with dt one - take your freaking call elsewhere

More details: Yes the call pertained to three of the five members of the engagement team, so we had the call on speaker in the audit room.

Ok then yes - staff should cop on

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

CTC is: PF+ 76185

PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
