Great accounting firm Pricewaterhousecoopers (PWC) is cutting 1,500 jobs in the US, Financial Times reported Monday. The extension affects 2% of the PWC workforce with 75,000 people and mainly affects its audit and tax divisions.
PWC said Financial Times That she decided to make cuts because she experienced many years attractive or low circulation. In other words, few employees chose to leave the firm voluntarily. Before deciding on dismissal, the PWC said she examined her business over a few months and transferred hundreds of employees from unworthy roles to higher growth positions.
Influential employees were informed Monday and Tuesday this week through Microsoft team meetings.
“This was a difficult decision, and we made it carefully, thought and deep awareness of its influence on our people, assessing that historically low levels of attraction during successive years have made it necessary to take this step,” PWC said Financial Times.
