Date: 11/06/2013 10:44 AMSubject: Farewell and QUEEN BEY ALL DAY!
Hello XXXXXX 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 XXXXXX 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
XXXXXX, 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. XXXXXX, I can give two shits 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 #beyhivebitches
XXXXXX, I saw you yesterday giving me the side eye. I think those eyeballs need some readjusting. Girl, stop! Don't play into XXXXXX'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
XXXXXX, 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.
1. Beyonce can sing and dance live without lip singing and do it well. She doesn't need autotune or a background track to make her the Queen. All she needs is a mic, some heels, and her fabulous Brazilian and Malaysian wig to swing around. Can't say the same for Britt. Sorry girl!
2. Beyonce has much more class.
3. Beyonce's music transcends culture. Britt....uh....well, that stopped a few world tours ago.
4. Beyonce has continued to get better and better over time. Her vocals are stronger than ever. Not to mention, after popping out Baby Blue she was back at it. She didn't get all washed up and boring like Britt did.
5. Beyonce is on some presidential ish. Didn't you watch President Obama and First Lady Michelle's first dance? Or the inauguration performance? Haven't you kept up with the Let's Move campaign (Bey and First Lady Michelle's initiative to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity? ) Well, Bey has been on! Britt has stayed in the shadows. #sorrybutnotsorry #getyourlife
6. Beyonce killed the Superbowl half time show solo dolo. Britt and NSYNC did that back in the 90s...but that was the 90s...and she wasn't solo dolo...so Bey wins!
7. Beyonce can dance her butt off. She has rythym. Britt used to be able to ...but she is stiff now. I'm sorry..
8. Beyonce has stage presence. I don't think you know what that is but you can Google it. It's basically something Britt doesn't have.
9. Beyonce is the QUEEN. She is the best performer alive. Bottom line, no gimmicks!
10. Beyonce wins and now that I'm out of here, I win too!!! #doingtheharlemshakeasitype

No doubt accounting isn't a fun career, but the author of this is obviously out of touch with reality. This story has been everywhere since yesterday, I doubt she really thought about the consequences before sending out that piece of literary garbage.
"Beyonce's music transcends culture."
most women think like her. in fact, she is actually above average for a female.
Is she an entitled bitch? Yes
Is she wrong? No
Wonder if she is going to ask for a letter of recommendation from her former #cowrkers?
I have friends at the Big 4 and they have forwarded me some fantastic quitting emails.
I saw this and could only think how dumb this person is. One of the most unprofessional letters I have ever read. Big 4 is one of the most docile places to work, so while the job is boring I am sure she was respected and treated decently. Simply put in your time and move on to greener pastures.
I'd love to find out who it was the wrote this. You know she is probably a fraction as important as she things she is.
So the problem seems to be she thinks she stars in a TV show about herself when in fact nobody really gives a shit. She'll have her 2 minutes of fame and then nobody will care anymore, she'll just never be able to get a job in a professional setting again. The people she worked with will read that email, think she's a rude immature bitch, and then move on with their lives.
The fact that we are talking about it is someone giving a s***.
And why is the title Modern Girl? Haha is that a pc racial slur?
The amount of "ums" in this video makes it unbearable to listen to.
I love how she sends out an email begging for attention and spends half of that email bitching about how everyone wants attention.
She's a good giiirrrrlllll
What an idiot. Now she is giving interviews? I give it a day before this bullshit "Glory" cover is exposed. I hope she can capitalize on her lack of professionalism as I can't see anyone wanting to hire her going forward. What a clown.
TNA, I sense a lot of disappointment in your comments here, and I can only agree with you. No matter how dissatisfied or even fed up with their job someone is, one of the most important things they can do is simply shut up. Silence is golden, and it's a shame that someone who hasn't learned that simple piece of wisdom can get a cushy office job.
Some people just don't know how good they really have their life. Hopefully she doesn't wind up having to learn that in a way she can't handle.
I agree. This woman is oblivious and sadly to dumb to know how much her actions have hurt her.
And I love how she shits on partners by just saying they are average joe's, but with more lined pockets. Hey dumb ass, those partners not only bring in business, but they put in their dues.
I am sure her job was boring, I am sure she might not have been interested, but it is comical to think that she was anything other than well treated and rather comfortable.
More and more info is leaking out. Texas Grad. PWC. Good luck getting hired.
Okay, there's many things I do not understand about this woman's email. But, one in particular sticks out as particularly confounding:
What's up with the "ish" and "f*"? You're sending out a profoundly bitchy email that will make you completely unhireable, I don't think peppering your email with a few swear words is going to hurt you going forward.
Ooooh I know I know! From my experience with the upper and upper-middle classes, you can say anything mean you want as long as it doesn't include a curse word. If you curse, that makes you trashy and like totally lower class.
Genius!
For those guys who love to talk about the CFO-type exit opps and prestige of joining a big 4, this is a great example of the calibre person they hire. Too funny.
Don't think this is representative of a typical Big 4 employee. She burned out and crashed in about a year. I have met a bunch of CFOs coming from Big4 backgrounds. Obviously, the average Big4 auditor doesn't become a CFO, but the average IB analyst doesn't end up as a BSD either. Obviously its better to be an IB analyst than a Big4 auditor at the end of the day.
That she lasted a year in audit is enough to describe the kind of people they hire. If I had to work next to someone worshipping Beyonce and managing her tweeter account I would quit and find a better firm to work at.
Perhaps that's just me, however.
I'd love to anger-bang this chick.
She did two internships in audit and now after working FT she realizes auditing is boring? I'm really curious to find out what high paying dream job doesn't require some sort of "filling out useless workpapers that won't really benefit anybody"
I'm suprised this woman even graduated college let alone got through the interview process of 3 firms. As a minority student this is why I think hiring less qualified minorities in place of qualified "majorities" is absolutely absurd.
-"Queen Bey All DAy"
I'm sure educated black people everywhere love it when embarrassing stuff like this happens in public. Way to go, Queen Bey.
You guys are totally missing the point: this chick wanted her email to get blasted around. Probably trying to get noticed for some sort of entertainment-type position. And it's gone viral. Mission accomplished.
Smart, calculated move.
Quitting with such unprofessional fan fare isn't exactly unique or something that is going to get you famous. That teen mom was way hotter than this chick and had a TV show and where is her career going? What is this going to get this girl? And if fame was her end game I think hiding her identity would probably be counter these goals.
In before someone leaks her performance record and shows her taking max time off in her 1st year and receiving poor remarks.
Can someone explain the top 10 at the end?
Yea, I was confused by this too
I did an audit internship. I didn't like it either. I thanked them and didn't accept the return offer. The contacts ended up coming in handy a few months later. This kid should have just gone out drinking instead.
I get her sentiment - Big 4 (and audit, no less) is a shitty job. Some of the points she brings up is legit.
That said, this is a horrible piece of writing, and as someone who actually works in the digital marketing space, my eyes bleed at the hashtag abuse. Stop. It's not funny.
moderndayholdencaulfield
This is just sad, this woman has completely derailed her career, a lot of people I know hate audit or hate the Big 4, so you put in your time and bounce. It really isn't that god-awful compared to a lot of jobs and the Big 4 provide decent opportunities out of college. She would have been infinitely better off just sending a letter saying she's leaving and that she will miss everyone.
All in name of raising PWC's diversity ranking
My friend is an auditor and he found auditor job boring. He said that it is mostly because you're working like a robot without ever really even have the chance to think about decision making and valuation like in investing. He also said that it gets fun only when you're at the top entertaining clients all day and all night. Oh, the trips to exciting places were also a plus.
Never met a genuinely happy auditor too among my friends. I guess it's just not for them.
