Job sucks, hours suck, pay isn't great #duces
Just say - thank you for everything but this job is not a good fit for you. No reason to burn bridges just to complain.
PwC 5 you still believe in Santa???
I am a manager who found out 2 months before my promotion that the bonus I had been promised for the last six years was cut 20%. Medical coverage sucks and now increased time to partner. There's also vast inefficiencies in my department that leadership doesn't understand. I am not alone in feeling this way. The model in place for our group has caused us to be woefully understaffed for years without any hope for developing new talent. Technology decisions have also been shortsighted with focus on cost over quality. As someone who is ingrained in the details of each client and knows how the work is performed, I feel I am at liberty to comment on these issues.
PwC5, managers hired in 2011 like myself who were promised a bonus of 25% and then 2 months before promotion had that cut by 20% got screwed, plain and simple. The notification was done via a Friday news dump in an obscure link on kcurve. It was a slimy move by that slime Tim Ryan. And in my case the reduction amounted to over $6k (New york metro tax). That's a tough pill to swallow. How do you think associates would feel if they were promised a $5k CPA bonus only to be told immediately before they passed their final exam that the bonus was being eliminated? More importantly, how would you feel? All so that the partners can line their pockets a little more. I am by no means trying to start an argument over some internet app, it's not worth arguing about.
How is Tim Ryan posting as both pwc1 and pwc5?
Been having this same internal conversation with myself, I’m planning on leaving ASAP if I can find the right job. Will probably give a somewhat scripted answer about finding a great job that was too hard to pass up but if someone really wants to know I’ll tell them I couldn’t stand the Work/hours/travel/comp but make sure to stress that I loved the people and learned a lot from them. That way it’s clear it’s not personal
If being honest but respectful about the reasons you’re leaving burns any bridges, those bridges are worth burning.
Is there a way to "complain" without burning bridges? Given all of PwC's horrible changes recently would I really be burning bridges if I gave honest, constructive and respectful feedback when I left?
What pwc2 said
Pwc 4, just curious what you think are pwcs horrible changes? Don't think I've noticed anything horrible
Pwc 4 it depends on what level you are. An associates opinion on what pwc leadership is doing may not be as constructive as one would think
PwC 4 you were notified two months before your promo but nine months before your payout anyway. The Firm took that feedback and that’s why they announced the new staff classes 1.5 years in advance. Plus, while I understand we’ll all believe it when we see it, no one has said there’s an extended time for partner. I think it’s a better weed out system for those who were ever partner material in the first place, but not an extension for you if you’re on track.
I would give them honest feedback on why I left
