PwC 1 drank too much of the kool-aid
Because EY blows at scheduling. According to my friend at EY there’s a shit ton of unassigned time going around EY and people are getting fucked working late when people are sitting around and going home at 5. Not to say scheduling at KPMG is great either, but we don’t have unassigned time at least not at my office
Ey5 must be part of HR. HR at Ey sucks at scheduling
I agree that the scheduling is an issue. You will have staff who can't prepare basic workpapers because they have been so under until idea their whole career they have missed a lot of learning. The really good people get killed and the crap don't get much work
I work on Saturdays, but it's stuff that doesn't take a ton of effort and only happens if I've got nothing better to do. I don't force my team to work and don't expect responses to my emails until Monday, a point which is frequently communicated.
@EY5 I agree with EY7, you probably are a part of HR. Your job isn’t that hard, nothing close to the actual revenue generating jobs of the firm like audit, tax and advisory and being able to leave at 5pm. I’ve never been in HR but get real, it can’t be that hard
You are in the client service business bro, 24/7 availability is the expectation.
I wish some of that unassigned EY time would make its way to my project.
More than 08 years working on international tax, worked as many hours as needed during the week. Worked on a weekend less than 05 times on my entire career.
In my view working on weekends is something avoidable in 99,9% of the cases. A good professional also needs a good break.
KPMG 1 is right, the EY people in charge of scheduling are 🚮
Working at minimum one weekend day is basically mandatory in Kpmg NYC - after being st the office from 10am to 1am Monday-Friday. SMFH Im tired and my body hurts da fuq
It kills me when people are expecting that I will be online and they expect me to take care of what they just sent me that same day
What office?
Coming into the office on Saturday is a waste, nothing gets done. Everyone catches up for the first 30 minutes (audit) because they haven’t seen anyone since last Saturday. Work for 2 hours until lunch and then bs until 2pm.
I haven’t had a single day off since sometime in January (work every Saturday and Sunday)
I share your pain. We have all the good workers working 60 and the crap people working 30. It’s less logical in tax to have people under utilized when everyone is in the same office sitting in the same area all day and you can leverage people who are clearly visibly more free instead of making the same people work till 11-1 every night
@EY5 I get how important HR is to a company, but don’t pretend like your job is the most difficult in the world where you need to be rocket scientist to perform it
I'll put in my time Monday through Friday , FYI I charged 70 hours this week, but weekends are mine.
