Inflating the number of employees present that day on record to order bigger, more expensive meals. Routine. We call it “super-sizing”.

We audit this sometimes. It’s quite annoying to try to remember who attended a dinner 6 months ago that wasn’t on your card.

They will ask everyone who attended what they ate and weird and who was there.

Heard of a story about a bottle of wine for "thirty two fifty". Got the check and it was $3,250. Not $32.50.

Pretty sure expense “violations” happen constantly and nobody notices

Definitely my boss taking a bunch of people to a 1200 dinner and lying about clients being there.

Talent exchange resource booked himself a nice hotel room in a tier 1 city and appeared to feed his friends too.

Spending $60k on the basics: Candy, Brandy, Ginger, Sugar, Diamond, Honey, and Coco.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

It's always tough, but this year it has felt impossible to stay on top of grading. Sure, there are online quizzes the computer can grade for you, but that data is so limited. What about the steps they took to get that answer on the math problem? I need to see it to know what they missed... Between submission of blurry photos and going through the process of uploading, downloading, and squinting to see their work, it takes me 20x longer to grade work for my digital kids. #thestruggle

I’m graduating from my MSA program and I have two offers:

1) FDD @ KPMG

2) CMAAS @ PwC (trying to move offer to valuations)

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
