You think that’s bad...a few years back an Uber driver picked up my roommate at the time and asked him if I, by name, still lived there or not.

I had the same Uber driver 7 out of 10 times in Johannesburg a few years ago. We joked that we should go buy lottery tickets. While I was always going around the same neighborhoods and he lived nearby, there were also no shortage of other drivers.

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
