A Durham graduate has quit his PWC grad job with a classic sign-off email that chronicles his “magical journey through the meat grinder of PwC.” Oliver ultimately quit due to “having a low boredom threshold,” and but did wish his former colleagues “determined to get to the top of the PwC ponzi scheme” well.

He compiled a list of things he did during his time at the company, including: “Picked Mahrez from the start of the season in the office fantasy football league (still didn’t win), wore a purple lab coat whilst physically inspecting a hydrocarbon testing lab, claimed a lot of mileage money, felt relieved when I was told I was being sacked.”

He admitted, despite the job description, he never did “Stock counts, understand bank reconciliations, learn anything about excel, much overtime, learn anything in a PwC training course, consistently pass exams, give a toss.”

Oliver admits that while the highlights make the job sound interesting, “we all know it generally isn’t.”

Oliver exclusively told The Tab that while friends and all the junior staff thought the email was funny, more senior people in the company reacted quite badly. So much so, that the week after he left he received a phone call from his former manager to tell him that he was no longer allowed to attend the company summer ball after the board had read and discussed the email.

He says the email took him about an hour to write: “I did fuck all on my last day,” and is now definitely seeking a career outside of accounting.
