PricewaterhouseCoopers is in serious hot water in Ireland after some idiot there sent an email rating the attractiveness of some of the firm's new female recruits. The problem got worse when the email went viral.
According to the Irish Times, the email, circulated among 17 male staff, showed headshots of 13 of the firm's newest employees, along with their names and departments. It was accompanied by a short message that said "this would be my shortlist for the top 10." The employee was in effect ranking them, sifting through them carefully as if he was going over a company's balance sheet. That's cringeworthy in itself.
The firm claims the email is under investigation but it raises questions about the culture of a firm that was forced to settle an $11 million sexual harassment case in Australia.
It looks like the Mad Men culture is alive and well in the corporate world.
