Breaking news; Trainee accountants even more bored than IT people!

from their email footer:

Are you meeting the standards?

I thought this. Obviously a man doing the hiring and he likes a particular type.

I once worked at a client where almost every woman hired in the last 5 years was a young slim blonde. Funny that.

Young slim blondes eh, what is wrong with him?

The real injustice here is that the story has knocked "Dick Van Dyke 'saved by porpoises'" into second-most-read.

Okay if you lot aren't going to score each lady individually, which is you favourite?

Top right 2nd page could be dirty.

Yeah top row last one on second page, looks about the best.

Elizabeth O'Connor's got that 'naughty neighbour' look about her.

Gents, I've just sent the links on to a guy from the rugby club at PWC Netherlands; just hoping he'll organise a Dutch version that could put his Irish colleagues to shame.

Best not to. In 1690 that tactic ended up opening a right can of worms.

I quite like the related article, about the leaving email from Gareth Jenkins:

"This is an emotional email for me to have to send. The tears are flowing.

Today is my last day at PwC. I haven't sent this to everyone because what would be the point? Why do people send their leaving emails to everyone? We didn't care about you then and we certainly don't care about you now.

I still presume hardly any of you knew me, which is good because I'm rubbish at audit, so I wouldn't have helped your stellar careers.

I've also learned how not to decorate an office - green and orange block colour walls with business buzz phrases on. 'Find your space', 'always add value' etc. Where do these terrible phrases come from? Is there a team of people lurking about in Embankment Place whose only duty is to pump out corporate drivel?

"Oh yah Rupert, I like 'diversify your outlook'"

"Fantastic, fantastic, let's roll it out"

"I'll action that"

"By close of play?"

"Oh, absolutely."

"What does it mean, though?"

"Hm. Fantastic point, we'll have to revolutionise outside the box on this one, I can tell."

"Touch base on this a-sap?"

"Rather.""

I look forward immensely to never having to attend an event in which Our Beloved Leaders stand up and tell us we've massively exceeded budget, so in reward we get no bonuses and instead we get the treat of listening to Coldplay while quotes from the greatest leaders of our times are played across a screen.

Dare we be different? Not really. What we dare to do is stick out 3 years until we get the ACA and we can leave. Except me, obviously. I got fired. Whoops.

I have a personal email, so if you want to send me anything (I can't imagine why you would), just guess it. If it's meant to be, I'll get it.

I'm also on Facebook but I hate it. I'm sure you've got real friends of your own and I'd prefer if you left me alone quite frankly.

If we ever talked (doubtful, I avoided anyone that looked like they might give me some work), add away.

I've left some treats in the group area.

Not really.

Bye forever xxx"
