Not going to mention the firm or the engagement but heard that a senior manipulated a PBC to agree to their work paper and was curious if this happens more often than I thought. Am I naive to be in shock about this?!

Associate and I skipped countless of samples that didn’t tie. Didn’t know better since I was an intern lol

likefunny

I've seen the extra samples. I get it, but don't agree with it. An experienced hire used to do this. They'd request two or three extra from client and use those for the ones that were "no good." So practically they never had anything but perfect testing. Defeats the purpose imo.

Never manipulated a pbc but I may or may have not passed on an inventory count when I was a first year.

Yes when deadlines are tight I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen sample switches (most common) and I’ve seen one creative bastard photoshop the Random number generator to get samples that worked with no issue.

I was an associate at the time so I was more impressed than anything 😂

I had a staff once change the name of a clients account on TB so no one would question what was in the account.

Because then you have to go ask the client what that line is and it takes time away from the zillion other things you’re expected to get done

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?
