How long do you want to ignore this user?
Hello Midfirst Team,

After careful consideration, I will be ending my employment with PwC effective Monday, November 11th.

I've done two audit internships, one at Deloitte and one at PwC. I hated it then but I thought I'd give it a third try. Third time's a charm right? GTFOH(If you don't know what it means Google it!) Basically, my time here as an associate has confirmed everything I already knew ten times over. Auditing is a job for people who truly don't have any other options and don't know what else they could be doing. You work day in and day out pulling useless documentation and filling out useless workpapers that won't really benefit anybody. All of it is BS! After asking dozens upon dozens of auditors what they think of their jobs and getting responses that include "I love my job!" or "I wouldn't trade it for the world," I realized just how fake auditors can be.

I strongly believe that auditors hate their lives and try to rationalize every piece of it. "Oh it's just busy season" or "If everybody did the jobs they loved to do then there would be nobody doing the jobs that need to be done." Measley excuses to justify pursuing a useless, meaningless career....

Here are some tips and pointers I thought I'd share for all of you to use through out life, you'll need it. I also throw some tips in there that you can take back to the next FS Market Team Meeting or just any meeting where real people's suggestions can be heard. Maybe a board meeting of some sort with some really important partners, because they're so important right? (side eye)

I figure I would use the assistance of Twitter hashtags....y'all like those right?
• Auditing is for the birds, get a real career that has meaning #dontbeFAKEaboutitbeABOUTit
• Those coach and partner "relationships" or "meetings"....whatever you want to call them....Just stop. #thatishissoawkward #icantdeal #soforced #fakeconvosforfakeauditors #noidontwanttogazeintoyoureyesatatablefortwo #waytoointimateformytaste
• Let's keep it real, partners are treated as if they're royalty. The reality is, THEY'RE NOT! They are average Joe's like you and I, only their pockets are a little bigger. So, there is no need to wait at the partner's feet acting like you'll do any and everything to please them. For what? No need to come in early just to greet the partner on the job. No need to act like you're such an overachiever by doing all of these unnecessary things. If you're an overachiever, be a real one..not a phony. No need to wait until the partner leaves during busy season only to leave 20 minutes later. Your time is just as valuable, are the partners God? I don't think so...#don'tbeasellout #thepartnerisgoinghometoeathisorherwarmsupper #whileyouarefakeauditng #weallknownooneisproductiveafterabout7pm #gohomeandcuddleupwithyourkids #ohandspousestoo #isntthatwhatthepartnersaredoing? #ohwellsIdigress
• Trying to get all in people's business...STOP! Everybody isn't an open book and I'm not the type to give you my life story within five minutes as a lot of you in public accounting do. #mindyourbusiness #keepthosenoseyquestionstoyourself #noneofyourbeeswax
• Haitham, you're fake important and you stink. I've peeped your game...constantly trying to throw me under the bus. You talk too much about everyone and how much you're so stressed out on all of your clients ...everyday we suffer from hearing this ish as well as listening to your countless stories about your girlfriend. You're such a gossiper that sometimes I think you're more feminine then you appear. Who does that? You're a grown man, get your life! #somethingtotakebacktomizzy #f*outtahere #yourlifesucksandyouclearlyknowit #somethingtotakebacktotheteam? #chattycathy #femininemuch? #someoneneedstheirvagwaxed #ohwaityoudonthaveone
• P.s. Haitham, I can give two ****s about your animals, maids, brother, etc. Is your life really that boring? Never seen people so in love with animals in life. #ewwnotcomingovertoyourplace #probsmellslikefecesandthrowup #couchesprobtornup #ohletmeguesstheysleepinyourbed #absolutelydisgusting | Get some friends to tell your business to. #ohwaitdrakesaidnonewfriends #maybeyouneedjesusinstead #yourvisionofyourselfisskewed #takeyourselfdownacoupleofnotches #youhavenotarrivedimsorry #crownforthequeenbey #ohandbythewaycelinedioncannottouchbey #beyhive*****es
• Alexa, I saw you yesterday giving me the side eye. I think those eyeballs need some readjusting. Girl, stop! Don't play into Haitham's episodes. Just because both of you feel the need to give your whole life story doesn't mean other people will feel that way. Have your own opinions and ideas. #I'msorrybutnotsorry #dontbeafollower #thoseeyeballswerestaringtoohardforcomfort #goodluckonyourmiserablecrapofacareeratpwc #saygoodbyetoyoursociallife #butifyoudecidetoleaveyoucantwerkoutwiththerestofus #twerkmileymileytwerk
• Kathleen, where do I start? You hate yourself and your job, let's be honest. Your cat doesn't care about you so stop caring about it. Stories about your nasty cat are unbearable. Seriously, I can't even deal. Beyond gross! You're fake ratchet! I hear you giving weird remarks that are borderline weird....I can definitely hear the twang in your voice. Just be you! Most of all, these are the top 10 reasons Baddie Bey(Beyonce) will kill Britney Spears (she's a has been) any day.

Beyonce wins and now that I'm out of here, I win too!!! #doingtheharlemshakeasitype

Doesn't this person know that you are supposed to capitalize every word in a hash tag to make it readable? Freaking millennial.

The guy is just a dick for calling out his teammates.

In regards to the rest of it, he is right about a few things but they are all known and don't need to be said.

It is actually a girl from SMU.

Going out on a limb that her last day won't be 11/11.

She already sent it? You should advise her against that, even though it's so embarrassing that it would be funny.

I don't know the girl. It was forwarded to me from a PwC buddy in Dallas. I believe the email has already been sent.

Sure it won't take long to reach my email.

Interestingly there have been two "PwC" threads in the past couple days

these things typically branch outside of the firm as networks blend over the years.

the following wasn't a farewell email, but resulted in a resignation within 24 hours so it may as well have been.. i chuckled when i received it and i chuckle now reading it again years later:

Can't believe people do stuff like this. This should/will follow her around for a while. What a stupid idea this was.

I have met consultants from pwc and accenture. This email doesnt surprise me, they do seem to have mundane issues that they feel are super important and everyone must listen.

Hahahaha "Haitham" was an auditor on the engagement at a company I used to work at. That gave me a chuckle.

If you leave public accounting - or any job for that matter - just leave. Why try to dramatize things like this? I would love to know who wrote this so I can know to avoid her if I come across her resume down the road.

Hysterically, these emails are almost always real when it comes to Big 4 and Audit.

She makes videos teaching people how to put make up on. She should be just fine
