Saw this recently on Linkedin.

Do you think it’s an employee randomly singing the praises of his company.

Or an employee who is doing this as a blatant attempt by his company to look good?

Either way, I want to smash the smarmy, corporate toady in the face.

youre much more acceptable when you drop the fucking florence nightingale act and are true to who you are: a petty, vulgar prick with more chips on your shoulder than a takeaway. or the donald.

Perfect summation.

At first I thought the breaking bad sticker was to make the pwc employee look a bit more relevant. Now I realize it was to cover up the apple logo. Assholes.

is he saying pwc dont have aircon in their offices? sounds about right for a bunch of penny pinching accountant pricks.

I agree Andrew. The article is obviously a set-up but if you read the copy, it works as much against PWC as it does for for them. There is such a fine line between honesty and stupidity.

And I think PWC just walked straight across it without looking in either direction.

What’s he designing, Excel sheets?

A business guy with a guitar is always worrying.

I don’t think I would classify him as a business guy. Not in the cliched sense of the word. But that’s not why you were saying it, was it Mr Dodds. See … you’re as see-through as PWC’s “stealth marketing”.

Comment by Rob February 13, 2017 @ 7:24 am

I’m all about clear communication.

Comment by John February 13, 2017 @ 7:38 am

I don’t care if he’s using a mac, he’s not s designer.

I think the financial industry is now Apple’s biggest market for Macs. Baz?

Comment by George February 13, 2017 @ 7:07 am

That sucking sound isn’t the aircon.

How can Jethro hate the heat? He’s not even a ginger.

Comment by Billy Whizz February 13, 2017 @ 7:56 am

But according to his Linkedin he was a Genius.

Comment by John February 13, 2017 @ 8:01 am

According to Linkedin, everyone is a genius.

*You* want to smash him in the face? Imagine being a colleague and seeing this self-aggrandising, brown-nosing shite being posted…

Excellent point, well made.
