OP you are correct that there was no firm wide communication from PwC, we went from remembering George Floyd to Celebrating Pride. Buried in the remembering George Floyd email was a reminder that the Memorial Day weekend started early.

Honor them yourself if you want to, do you need someone to hold your hand while you do it?

I’m a troop and I don’t care whether or not PwC says anything. In fact, I can personally speak to the number of people at the organization who have bent over backwards to help fellow service members and veterans, which means much more than some boilerplate message. Have you served or lost anyone close to you who served? If not, why does it matter to you? If so, aren’t there better things you can do to honor those individuals than complain that a random company didn’t say enough thank yous?

Agreed ^

Nearly every country on this earth has a military (except Switzerland) and an agenda rooted in “protecting” its sovereignty from external and internal threats. You might be confusing political agenda with the true purpose of an actual military, and for you to say “US murder machine” sounds fairly uneducated and disrespectful to the very country YOU live in and where YOU enjoy so many trivial things like, your cup of Starbucks this morning or your prime 2 day shipping or your kombucha from Whole Foods or..being able to post your thoughts to this very forum.

You. You make me better. I’ll wake up better tomorrow knowing you exist 😘

Memorial Day is not about honoring those who have served. It's about honoring those who died while serving.

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
