Who in the hell thought open floor office plans were a good idea? We were pulled from our WFH setups to work in an open floor plan. There is no privacy and I can hear everyone's conversations. It's so hard to focus. Not to mention the smells. Everyone's perfumes, colognes, and lunches merge together and the air is so toxic. How is this setup supposed to improve our productivity?
I can admit that I could be a bad person here. Because listening to my coworkers coughing their heads off, or belching, and not to mention their other bodily functions, I can feel myself becoming increasingly homicidal. Which genius thought open floor plans and shared workspaces were a good idea? I'm not usually anti-social but I would give anything for some walls or even a cubicle to dim some of the noise.
Marry rich...
Well im not on PIP yet, but if I get s bad review during busy season I most likely will be. Feel like I've slowly been improving and working hard. Oh well
Auditing does suck. I audit tax provisions and dread it every time. Don't know how people do it day to day.

Sugar mama dude!
Surprise you weren't let go. With the firings happening at EY.
Been doing it for 1.5 years, do not want to be a senior in anyway but also don't want to be a staff accountant in industry and essentially start over
I'm a guy... fuck

accounting is very different from auditing. you should do accounting, much easier
What's pip
PIP = Performance Improvement Plan
If you hate audit and have been doing audit for 3+ busy seasons, consider trying a different firm (if it's the people) or a different line of service.
Just take the 15-20% pay increase and go into industry. If you are already ready to give it up there's no point in putting in the effort to bounce back from Pip to promotable
You'll be fine. Or not. Don't worry too much & do your best. Don't let your team convince you that 75 hour weeks are normal just because you're afraid of the threat of a PIP. There is more to life than work.
Auditing is mind numbing. Have no idea how people do it honestly.

Lmk when you find out
Men can marry rich too
If you hate audit and have been in audit 2 years or less try industry.
