Всем паниковать! Кризис . . .

Если вы еще не паникуете, тогда кризис идет к вам (C) Big 4

Взято из I love big 4

Few days ago, I was watching some layoffs of junior auditors at my office. The official reason was announced as «due to continuous fails at academic studies (ACCA) and bad (NI) appraisals. For that moment I thought: «Well, theses layoffs are not because of bad times in my lovely Big 4 company or money shortage, but because of auditors’ poor performance.» – despite the fact that I have never seen so many layoffs due to such reasons.

Today, I have got another bad news – several partners from a competitor Big4 company were fired… Having heard that, some of my colleagues were pretty happy watching their competitor in troubles… By the way, they were so happy laughing at competitors and not knowing that they were the first in the list to be kicked out of the company. ((

I was not happy. Big 4 companies are not competitors – we’re all sinking in one boat, particularly Big 4 employees… this statement didn’t let me wait too long for its proof of correctness. This evening I had a call with my friend from other Big 4 company. He told me about their management’s announcement in regards of possible salary decreases. BINGO!!! Big 4 doesn’t have enough cash to pay salaries. Big 4 is in CRISIS… at least in my country.

and now I have nothing, but to wait my managing partner saying:

«Folks, you saw problems of our competitors, and we are not exceptional. We decided to announce a decrease in salaries and 20% layoff program across the company.»

→ PS: Actualy, if you can act not only correspondingly to the circumstances but outrun them – you will be high

PPS: Due to the current financial crisis facing the world at the moment,the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off to save electricity costs, until further notice
