h/t @GayBearRes for spreading this masterpiece around on X, that’s how we saw it anyway. @lifeatdeloitteus posted this reel on Insta the other day, tagging their #TogetherMakesProgress hashtag:

Insta text:

You don’t get to choose when business challenges present themselves. But you do get to choose the team that will help you overcome them. Our newest #TogetherMakesProgress TV commercial shows us just how true this is in life—and in business.

Let’s hope the Deloitte Dream Team didn’t have important off-hours plans of their own such as a child’s birthday, brunch with their spouse, or sitting around in their drawers playing Marvel Rivals. RIP dude in the bottom middle who was already at the office on the weekend.

The GC Metaphor Challenge

Yesterday we shared with you at least one person’s opinion about how quitting the Big 4 is a little like leaving Ike Turner. If that name doesn’t mean anything to you, insert Jon Gosselin. Get it now?
As accurate as that may be (and certainly not a laughing matter), we can’t help but think there are other metaphors that you’ve heard that you might want to share here.
Of course there’s the proverbial pimp/whore relationship but that’s played. Get the team together and come up with something good. We’ve got E&Y tchotchkes to give away as prizes (don’t let that dissuade you E&Y peeps, we’ll come up with something).
We’ll give you a couple of options to work with:

2. Leaving the Big 4 is like…
Annnd go.

    3. There’s a lot of ads with black men wearing glasses, greying beards, wearing business suits etc pitching tech and other high end services. The Madison Ave ad agencies must follow the same formula

  2. KPMG will let you slide on Saturdays mostly, but if you’re not checking in on stuff Sunday night you will be at risk of stinkeye

  4. This is the result of a highly financialised civilisation where money plays an outsized role of people’s lives. Money serves a purpose but if it becomes the sole determinant of one’s survival and quality of life, that’s when it becomes problematic.

  6. Choosing between attending a child birthday party and staying gainfully employed are merely concerns of the entitled. Don’t cry a river with the blue collars and hard hats who make this country great.

    Those crying the loudest have no problem with our corrupt welfare system.

  7. Even given the fact that B4 leadership tend to be exceptionally clueless on what normal people value, I still can’t believe the people at Deloitte thought this was a good idea. I legit thought it was satire the first time I saw it.

  9. Don’t kid yourselves. This isn’t just Deloitte. This is the accounting industry as a whole.
