After a rough week of layoffs at E&Y we’re glad we can bring you some good news out of the Ernstiverse. After our reports back in September that the New York office that there was going to be no Christmaskah festivities, the FSO practice has had a change of heart:
Not only are the partners in FSO encouraging you to have a cup of cheer, they’re helping out a financially troubled New York institution.
We reached out to one source in FSO who had these thoughts:
I think for the most part people are very surprised we are having a party, and there is definitely a mixed feeling. Most would rather have gotten a raise, but apparently we got a great deal from Tavern so if there are no raises we might as well have a party!!
Since we don’t have many details at this point, important questions remain: A) Are you going? B) Open bar or GASP beer and wine only? C) Will there be dancing? D) If so, will Jim Turley be there getting his (rumored) $6 million man groove on?
Photos please, especially when he’s doing the sprinkler dance. Keep us updated with the details.
what, is the philly office visiting and heard about the tavern and its “great ambiance”?
Lucky for EY. Invites for the Deloitte Christmas parties went out a week ago and are all held in our cafterias. Nothing like a vending machine to spur holiday cheer!

PS there will be lay-offs to cover the party costs
Please post the invitation on this site so we can all go.
Nice. Maybe if they canceled the christmas party, EY would not have had to close my office and lay everyone off.
Enjoy your Christmas party, and your welcome.
I love how one group can have a party and the rest of the EY groups i.e. National Tax, International Tax Services, NESA get a lump of coal on their desks. EY is getting very good at the have and have nots game playing. Really does a lot for morale.
FSO E&Y Party at Tavern on the Green featured open bar 6-10pm and free but very decent food. People got shit faced and all kinds of merriment was abound. I know I am supposed to feel good about the $1.55M PDUB donated to charities instead of financing holiday parties, but for some reason I remain jealous of the E&Y folks.
