Without naming the firm, I’m a refugee from public accounting.
Back when I was a staff accountant, and we were all making roughly $60k a year, they brought us all into a meeting in the middle of busy season to discuss work/life balance and mental health.
The solution they offered?
Simply hire a full-time live in housekeeper who does laundry and cooks!
Probably, but the article is not wrong, these are huge factors that drive my decisions, and I have flat out told employers in interviews that I take issues with aspect of how companies run. Im sure some roll their eyes, but honestly I dont care, im not going to devalue myself or my ethics just to make them more money.
I’ve been in the business factory for 20 years now and Deloitte, as an employer, is widely regarded as hell-on-earth. Sus.

That was it. That was the meeting.
Here here! Good work gentleman! Let’s go the partner’s villa and celebrate with cigars and brandy!
Holy shit that’s so outlandish and yet totally believable
