Since some of you might not be spending your weekend consuming massive quantities of red meat, and thus, might be a little bent out of shape, we thought we would present a couple of quotes from “farewell emails” provided by readers.
Granted, these have probably made the rounds but we’ve included our favorite passages to demonstrate just how bitter some people are. Hopefully this will result in self-reflection for some of you but for some of you, it may be the sign that you’re beyond help.
Feel better about yourself (or pretty much the same) after the jump
Former PwC, who is obviously concerned about the mass soda consumption:
I would greatly encourage some kind of weight loss challenge to be implemented firm wide. The herd of water buffalo you call your work force is embarassing and a bit gross. When I call a co worker over from 2 cubes down and they are legitmately out of breath when they get to my cube it may be time to knock off 10 or 80 pounds. The company seems to encourage this obesity; each busy season we get a giant package full of pixie sticks, chocolate and assorted sweets. As much as I would enjoy type 2 diabetes, I think I’ll pass.
This particular former Green Dot should seriously consider some Dr. Phil time:
I would like for you to take note that Deloitte’s continuous lying and deceit is not acceptable to me or anyone else. Deloitte has been the biggest Disappointment because they are Deceitful, Demoralizing and De-motivating to their graduates who they should be uplifting as they are the foundation for future leaders of this country…When I started at the DGA I was promised many things, house on the hills and a black convertible to name a few. I was told that all the sacrifices I make during the programme would be worth it in the end. I ask how will it be worth it and when is the end?
iPhones are one thing but if the new recruits are promising black convertibles, for crissakes, please let us know.
These two examples certainly give credence to the notion that on call psychoanalysts for Big 4 employees should be given serious consideration. If you’ve got more examples out there, shoot them our way. We’re here to help as many of you as possible.
Thought I remembered an article about Deloitte new hires getting convertible Mini Coopers in one of the European offices…am I wrong?
@1: you mean this:

At my “success” dinner before the sell-day at Deloitte Federal Consulting in DC I was told a story by a second year associate who said that he leased a 3-series on his salary from Deloitte. This was met with shock from other college students at the table, and the partner sitting with us replied “See, it can happen here at Deloitte.”
Kind of reminds me of my interview with PwC…I was indecisive at the time of which firm to go with, so a question I would ask to my interviewer was “So why did you choose X?”
My PwC interviewer pushed away from the table, put his hands behind his head, and asked me, “So let’s say you’re a baseball player. You’re coming out of high school, you’re going to be drafted. You know that. What team do you want to be drafted on so you always know you have a shot to win?”
I said, “The Yankees?”
He replies, “Absolutely. They’re the most consistent, winning team in baseball history.”
And then he smiled…that evil, terrible smile of smugness. “And that’s why I chose PwC. Because we’re the best.”
Needless to say, I did not continue the recruiting process with them.
Yeah, PwC, fat people are like, so gross. Because no one can see your genital herpes, unlike the extra pounds on the guy in the cube, so let’s knock people because of their physical appearance/”moral” failings, and tolerate everything else. Gotta love yuppies with no perspective.

It’s ok, one day you’ll get rid of all that weight. When the price of the surgery comes down.

PwC’s recruiters are the most pompous two-faced individuals I’ve ever met. The way they bragged about being #1 in this that and everything else made it seem like they grew up being the smelly kid in class. “Look, look, I’m popular now!”
