AccMan TalkBack: KPMG to settle overtime lawsuit

    "for promotions you are pressured to not only work OT, but to NOT record it anywhere."

    I worked for one of KPMG's competitors in the past and they were just the same... So I left and found somewhere better to work.

    My wife works for one of the big fours and she's just been put on a team where she's been announced she will have to work seven days a week from 8:30am to 11pm. This in unconceivable in a modern and civilized country as US claims to be. This is truly a sweatshop mentality and the sooner it ends the better for the health of the employees. The discrepancy between the "our goals/our principles/etc" kind of corporate talk and the reality is enormous.

    I think this practice is commen in the profession, and very difficult to prove, which is what makes this story so interesting!

    It now transpires the judge in the case is none too happy. This thing isn't settled yet.

    I squeezed in some more KPMG news in front of a completely unrelated story which I somehow attempted to connect together.

    I love welding wildly disconnected tangents, in case you haven't noticed.

    Or are they really more connected than I let on? ;)
