After introducing myself by name, calling me another woman’s name until I “earn” my name. Also “fat meat tube” to me and one of my consultants because he didn’t think we went to the gym enough.
Pro
No way I would put up with this.
Her: “You look like the actor in 50 Shades of Gray.”
Me: “oh really?”
Her: “Yeah- hey Karen come over here”
*Karen comes over*
Her: “Isn’t he like that guy from 50 shades?”
Karen: “uhh idk I guess”
Me: *uncomfortable*

It literally has me on the brink. 🥺
The Indian girl... I’m not even Indian
Yeah, I have seen many who are mixed black and white and look Indian. India has many diverse people and color variations. Expect to be looked like that more and do not get frustrated. The good is that you may not face discrimination in many groups and countries.

C-level FS client while walking to his corner office thru the open space where our consultants are working hard and casually throws us a “how’s it going b*tches ?!”
No A1 we said WORST things we've been called not best 😂

I turned down an offer from EY because they didn’t pay enough 🤷🏻♂️
The funniest was when I had an Asian and an Indian on my team the client called them Harold and Kumar
I would be a good client to you.
“What are you, 19?”
Same experience except 18 and asked to see my id when I said I was 32...... we were really close so it was kind of a joke.

Client staff mentioned I had a voice for radio after walkthrough. Client chimed in “face, too”.
Buuuuuuuuurn

“Excel Monkey” used in SteerCo as :
Partner: AC1 will turn this analysis around and get it to you by EOD.
Client CXO: AC1 you’re pretty much his excel monkey aren’t you.
AC1: *confused face*

Man has been a consultant for 25 years. He just laughed. I worked on model.
While I’ve been called worse... a C-level client and I shared the same first name. He instructed his org to add a “2” after my name in all verbal and written communications to avoid confusion
You should have just used ‘jr.
One relatively senior client mentioned to my partner that I was “really white”
Pro
Extra funny if they are also white

SM1 same as Biden’s dog faced pony soldier comment. Just sheer stupidity.
"He kind of looks like my pug, but not as ugly"
The consultants from Touche Ross.
I had to look it up to find out that was a preceding firm to Deloitte. That name went away in the 90's.
But it was 2014. To be 20 years off on the company name?
Not name, but been told that “I have no clue what I’m talking about.” I have 10 years exp. lol
EY6, that’s a demerit.
Executive Director called my associates Slide Minions. He wasn’t wrong...
My client’s IT team thought I was his ‘intern’ because I look like I’m still in college. I was the lead consultant on the project 🙄
