When was the last time a customer used the words "please and thank you" when they asked you to do something for them, or asked a question. I feel like this is becoming more and more uncommon and people just speak down to us.
Do you find that where you work?

I live in the south as well so people usually pretty kind here and have good manners. That being said, it does seem like people have forgotten their manners in other states since Covid.

There seems to be a real crisis of manners in society over the last decade or so. I honestly wonder if people are being influenced by reality TV to be really rude to each other. People used to be ashamed to do or say things that today are considered ordinary. Just being polite in public really is becoming a rarity.

Totally feel this! It’s becoming so rare to hear ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ Feels like common courtesy is disappearing in a lot of places these days.

Oh yeah 100%. They treat you as you are their servants and are supposed to do their stuff anyway.

I live in the south and I still see people have respectable manner towards work associates. But I do also see the younger generation with less manners than our generation. At my place of work, it just depends on the day and people.

Hello Guys,

EY IN offered - 13.61(2lakh VP)

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

OK, so, right now I make a helluva lot, but I think I wanna make a bloody helluva lot because that seems to be what I should do - and what many of you do, as well. So, I wanna know from you super lotters what threshold I need to reach to fill the dark and empty void and be consumed and enveloped in the warm embrace of self-satisfaction and peace of mind. Please depict this value in terms of a recognizable sum, like avg yrly Swiss household expenditure per capita or Lambos.

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.
