When you ask your associate why his expenses are 40% higher than everyone else's and you find out it's because they've been booking travel through Expedia...🤦🏽‍♂️

A1 you think PWC is a coveted role ? Maybe it depends on what you're doing there I dunno. When I worked there I found it was just about same as anywhere else : 20% of the people did all the work while the rest talked about it and ate free lunches and whatnot

OP, what your team member did was dumb. But at least they"re new and will learn. I assume you"re at least a manager or above. You should know better than to call a teammate out on FB for a very specific situation. To me, that's the real fireable offense. Grow up, OP. You should be the one who knows better. Oh, and writing "Don't worry I changed their gender and the booking site" makes me really question YOUR intelligence not theirs.

So you flip the gender, then admit you flipped it. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of flipping it? 🤔

Ya agree with @PwC3... pretty sure Expedia rates are on par if not better than our corp rate. No way it's 40% higher... something fishy to this post

Well P3, OP, I'm a manager, but I always try to think of how I would have felt as an associate. I'm sure that I would already be embarrassed having made that mistake, but then to read that my manager/director was publicly shaming the incident would have made me feel much worse and I just don't think it's necessary / appropriate. If I'm the one who is out of touch, I'm sure FB will let me know

The agreements with the travel agencies, airlines and hotels are really not that price advantageous. Most of the benefit to the consulting firms comes from from year end volume kickbacks so it's odd that there's such a huge difference.

Pwc 6: not how it works. Not how it works AT ALL. You don't get to mess up expenses like that and get away with it. Everyone uses their respective travel site because we're told that during orientation. If not, all of your colleagues probably discuss the travel site once or twice. You legitimately CANNOT claim ignorance on this. You deserve to have your face blasted in a company wide email if you do something like this. I'm a new analyst btw
