That happened in 2008/2009. If they weren’t fully pulling their weight, Partners that were around the age 58 were asked to retire early as opposed to them staying till 60. Sometimes the firm paid them for a year so it was the difference between their usual draw and their pension that they lost but it made room for more new partners and that in turn makes room for more Senior Managers.

That would be quick, are you sure it wasn't health related or already planned? We have a few set to retire this fall but I've heard zero chatter of them being done earlier, although perhaps it would make sense considering that have already transitioned most of their work.

Recruiting call: "We've had a number of applicants turn down offers because they're afraid of flying." LOLOL. That's like applying for lifeguard and being surprised when there's a pool. 😂

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

What does a person do who doesn’t find any industry accounting jobs interesting? I’ve been trying to leave for 3-4 years and the only thing that interests me is people focused roles such as sales. I considered recruiting but I’m jaded based on my interactions with most. Public accounting is a decent spot for me but I’m wanting a more consistent schedule of 40-50 and the self centered/dog eat dog culture of my firm continues to crush my soul more and more the longer I stay.
