FAO Accountants

Now being picked up in the US. Peerless accounting blog goingconcern.com has run the story.

International Twitter users also picking up on it. These lads need to realize that their accounting careers are over and capitalize on their fifteen minutes of fame.

That is an incredible post.

You say that you didnt say they were all dicktards, as in you are not making a sweeping overgeneralisation on all Big Four employees.

Then you go on to say:

• when they get together, they are generally loud, obnoxious, mess with drink and generally not very nice to be around.
• I still like my friends for the most part, but think a couple did turn into muppets after their “big 4” experience
• Others got it together again when they realised they had changed, or came back from Dublin or whatever.
• This incident didn’t surprise me either, its typical of their narrow views on others and especially women

Now if that is not sweeping overgeneralisations, I don’t know what is.

I worked in a Big Four for 3 years, and 90% of the people I met in my time there were sound I felt. As I said, I don’t look at someone now introduced as being from the Big Four, as being sound automatically. Same as you shouldn’t making sweeping generalisations on those who have worked there as being arseholes, on the basis of a few of your mates.

Of course the Dublin inferiority complex is shining right through there as well - what has coming back from Dublin got to do with anything? I get that shite a lot when I come home as well.

Coming back from Dublin some realise how they have changed, and realise they may not be true to themselves. The guys who turn their nose up at home and think they actually are superior tend to stay in Dublin, but again not all are ;like that, just too much of a majority for my liking.

Also farmer, none of your bolded stuff makes sense, you are kinda emphasizing the points for me there. Do you know what a sweeping generalisation is?

But so you don’t feel so isolated, i have met a nice few dickheads from Graduate programmes in the likes of AIB & BOI as well, so its just not the Big 4.

Can somebody provide any names or a link to the Facebook pages of some of these girls please? Especially no. 1.

@The All Seeing Eye

these accountant dweebs are the geeks that were bullied in secondary school- no one liked them as they were nerds & they just studied studied studied- they branched out a bit in college but were still intimidated by others- then they join a big 4 company & all of a sudden instead of been the social outcasts tsquare loving poindexters they are amongst their own- they get bullish & get arrogant- where once they were the victims they now take on the characteristics of the bully & this overt mysigonism is a symptom of that- at the heart of it all though they are still the vulnerable dweebs we all despised

:lol:

the safe solid types - originality, insight, humour and good looks are alien to them.

Kev, are you upset because you didnt get into a graduate programme and your friends moved to Dublin?

You didnt miss out on much. Grad programmes are a pile of wank, actually they are a pile of pussy, booze and a half way house to the working world in my experience…maybe it wasnt all bad when I think back

Just reading what the Herald had to say about this on their website and couldn’t help notice the google ads on the left hand side of the page.

Third from left on the top is the best of the bunch. They’d all get it though.

I think the hirer of all these girls comes out that best in this.

Kev, would you accept that some former big 4 trainees stay in Dublin post qualification for valid reasons relating to employment prospects, personal circumstances etc? Or is mostly because they’ve forgotten their roots and made the choice to turn their backs on their home communities?

I was approached by a bird from the job that I barely knew at the Christmas party one year. She took it upon herself to tell me that the girls thought I was the best looking man in the job. I have to say that while I was somewhat taken aback by the nature and content of the approach, I felt in no way cheapened, objectified or demeaned.

Two of these girls have public Facebook pages. The first one has messages of congratulations from people all over her page. The second one is a fan of the group “Knee deep in clunge”

I’d say they are loving it.

Eh bando i’m not talking about those who move back, many don’t. Just their intermittent trips back. Again, some never change, as that is their personality, but many do.
