A senior banging a staff in a conference room at the office over the weekend. Left a used condom on the floor. Firm pulled the lobby tape and badge records to find out who. Both canned in spectacular fashion.

Seriously? If you are really a partner you can create whatever "cause" you wa t to fire someone. Lesson is to not piss off the partners.

I knew a D who staffed an entire project with undergrad seniors on the promise of getting a job when they graduated. They weren't even proper/official interns. Just kids he picked up at a campus recruiting event, working on their own laptops for like 40 hrs a week. Total maverick

PWC 2. That person is partner material.

You mean aside from poor performance? Expense fraud. Inappropriate behavior in the workplace. Harassment. Mediocre performance. Crashing into parked cars at client's parking lot after being told multiple times to slow down. Running a consulting business on the side and using firm's assets to do so. Refusing to work. Using drugs in the workplace.

Not fired but one of my teammates slammed another one against the wall for not pulling his weight. Had to work remotely after that. Security was there next day to make sure he didn't show up.

Op wants to fire someone so looking for an excuse

Do we really fire people for mediocre performance? I've seen lots of people with mediocre or worse performance at the firm.

I believe what OP is trying to accomplish with this thread is a follow up to the troll post where someone got fired for expensing something they shouldn't have.
I agree, this could be a good thread so people don't fall into bad habits and lose their jobs.
Personally haven't seen anything crazy.... yet.

Had one situation where someone was given a strong warning (almost got fired but was given another chance) after going into the office on a weekend, drunk, with a non-firm drunk friend and being caught on tape spitting in an elevator and claiming no memory of it after.

I’m looking at lessons with a pro. They offer packs of 30 min (6-pack) and 60 min (3-pack) sessions. Is there a benefit to one over the other? Is 30 too short or 60 too long?

I’ve never taken lessons before, just played my whole life. I’m a mid 80s golfer trying to get more consistent and break into the high 70s.

Stuck in a weird limbo where I want to leave my job more than anything but grateful that I have one at all with all the layoffs in our industry. It's a new kind of trapped. Anyone else feels the same?

Hi all- I’m a first year staff who works in Forensic accounting & compliance. I am almost at 1 year in PA, & have come to terms that this career is not for me. I am a creative at heart & interested in working in the music business/ tech industry. My PA experience has provided me with hard skills, which is why I think it would be a great segway into the music biz & entertainment industry.
