I don't believe you did that, or that a big four firm would do that.

That was the only recent piece of business news about them which had extensive media coverage.
Its very hard to find anything positive about the Big 4 when searching for news even in the more expensive broadsheet papers like the FT.
What else was I supposed to do?

Yea that was dumb
But hey I told an Asian Audit Manager during an interview that I didn't like how group projects bring together such differing opinions because it can hurt efficiency
Pretty fucking retarded considering these firms push the diversity narrative and want to hold hands and dance under a rainbow
Oh yea, I didn't get called back for a second round
