Sad reality. Anyone from EY here know about this? Any such examples of such toxic work culture at your workplace?

EY employee dies - company apathy

Instead of checking with their employees, if we are doing well and asking us if we are going through a similar phase, these bastards have the guts to ask us to keep our mouth shuts and let their PR team work to settle this😞😞

Started looking for a new job from Today.

In the wake of 26-year-old Anna Sebastian Perayil's tragic death, allegations of overwhelming workloads have surfaced at Ernst & Young (EY) and other Big 4 firms. Rohan Dixit, an EY employee with a 75% spinal disability, has joined the outcry, sharing his experiences of a toxic work environment and unjust treatment.

Another EY Employee Speaks Up

Many former EY employees commented on the LinkedIn post of the company’s India Chairman, Rajiv Memani, highlighting the ‘toxicity’ in the work culture and recalling the ‘worst experiences’ of their lives.

EY Chairman facing Backlash

Dear all,

As you all would be aware, since yesterday, several messages regarding our firm have been circulating on WhatsApp and other social media platforms. These pertain to the tragic passing away of Anna Sebastian on 20 July 2024, who joined us in our Assurance team in Pune on 18 March 2024. The fact that her journey with the firm was so short-lived - only four months - makes this tragedy even more poignant for all of us.

Anna hailed from Kochi and worked at our Pune office. During the difficult period following her passing, the firm was in regular contact with members of her family. While we acknowledge that no measure can compensate for the loss experienced by the family, we have provided all the assistance as we always do in such times of distress while respecting the family's privacy and preferences.

Though no words can comfort a grieving family, I have personally expressed my condolences and have shared my deepest regret for their irreparable loss. I received an anguished e-mail from Anna's mother and have taken note of her message with utmost seriousness and humility.

I would like to reaffirm to all of you that our firm places the highest importance on the health and well-being of our people, and we will recommit ourselves to providing a supportive, healthy, and balanced work environment to you all. I would like to make this an on-going dialogue with you to ensure we are continually building a healthy workplace for everyone.

We have several well-being programs and open channels of communication available in the firm to ensure that you always have a safe space to voice your concerns anonymously, including through our existing Speak Up forum and Ethics Hotline. We will also create more avenues for you to share transparent and honest feedback on our workplace practices.

If you ever face challenges or need guidance, I will strongly encourage you to please reach out to your team leaders, members of the talent team and your support network across the firm. I would like to personally assure you that when you speak up, you will be heard with empathy and understanding. If there are any suggestions that you have, please don't hesitate to let me know.
In the meantime, I urge you to handle this information with the utmost compassion and sensitivity.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


Warm regards,
Rajiv

Has there been any changes in the organisation since then? Are the leaders making any efforts to boost employees morale? Or is it back to usual?

Any update on the EY case

During my recent post interview interaction with EY HR, I had a horrible experience!
They’re insanely inhuman and disinterested in your concerns.
All they want is to close position and fulfil business needs!
However the role and my experience interviewing with the panel from business was very nice.
Now I’m on fence, whether to join or not 🫤
Suggestions?

EY India experience

Lets start a chain, Anyone looking for a job chain and not going to join EY for any reason, make sure whenever you receive a job opportunity call from EY for any openings, make sure to tell HR that you are not willing to join because of the work culture you heard after Anna’s case happened.

Lets unite and call it out loud. Together we can make a change

Why no one is talking about this. Are we just Resources? There’s no value to life?

Hi,

Currently, I work with the analytics team of The Smart cube, which was acquired by WNS. Since, the acquisition things have gone really downhill.

I have received an offer from EY GDS and upon research I have got mixed reviews. I am not sure of what I am getting into. 

Can you guys please share your perspective and help me?

Thanks

It’s so tragic, what the mother must be going through! No amount of ‘Learnings/work pressure’ justify this!

Why big four don't care about health issues and family life

Technical Consultant

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

a couple of my friends work for TheBig4's and all of their WLB is the most fked up I have ever heard about....

What are the worst companies to work for? and why it's "The Big 4" ?

Senior software engineer

So Bewakoof got acquired by Aditya Birla group and sent a mail to employees that their ESOPs are now worthless “as determined by the board.”
I mean, I know what they’re doing is completely legal, they must have covered themselves with escape clauses, but how are founders okay with this? They basically ripped off and wiped off the wealth of the very employees that worked for them for years. Shameful, man! Never buying from this shit company again. Not that it will matter, but won’t give a penny to this hideous organization.

<Rant on Bewakoof.com> Employees got nothing for their ESOPs

I was done with a very shit project team. The client is notorious, ask anyone in EY GDS about a telecom provider project near Manesar that everyone dreads. They make you work night shifts and literally have nothing to do there. I know people who game there all night. It is just the worst and my health was being affected. I am being paid < 10L by the way. So it was getting very toxic. 

I decided to ask my manager but he said that it is not possible right now. I asked my friends in other projects and I came to know that the only way to leave the project is to leave EY. I also came to know about someone who left EY to leave the project and rejoined EY to join another project.

I am now done with EY. Who said that Big 4 is good? Only Boomers who think Big 4 has prestige ig because they pay peanuts.

What is the worst experience you've had at Big 4?

"No one from EY attended Anna's funeral". 

This particular line stuck out from the email Anna's mother has written to @rajivmemani (Chairman of EY, India) after Anna's death. 

I would urge all of you to read the complete letter.
