Psycho manager has sent 3 passive aggressive emails to the entire staff/senior group about making the magnification on excel 100% before submitting for review. STFU no one cares.

Power trip. Even I know how to change the magnification in Excel and I am a freaken dinosaur

Well that and I’m not sure which firm you’re with but at Deloitte half the partners use Surface computers. Must admit it’s a little funny watch them trying to navigate a workbook on their laptop with intense zoom. I don’t even use my laptop screen so I can only imagine them

All about that 80% !!

Mgr has OCD. nothing actually important to worry about besides zoom level in excel. Overpaid, no interpersonal skills and was promoted too fast

I would NEVER write an email to make it a review comment, but I can understand the manager’s frustrations. Usually staff prep with second screens and can have 60-80% magnification. When I open that same excel file on my laptop when reviewing at home without a second screen it’s usually tiny.

Lol I remember some of my fellow seniors were discussing what their preference is and I think what they make their staff set it to. Really bothered me tbh, spend your time helping your staff do useful things with their time you anal idiots. It’s real easy to zoom in and out especially with these new touch screens

These are bean counters... do you expect anything less @EY6 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had a manager like this and she only did it because she had no value added comments so she needed to make it look like she was doing something. Her comments were always and only about formatting and stupid small items. I never saw one comment on audit strategy, guidance or accounting.

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?
