A modern form of prostitution where eager, young minds sign on with the most reputable "practice" pimp in hopes of success and fortune but end up being sold to the highest bidder while partaking only a minimal share of the profits. "Partners" pimps are noted for reprimanding personnel that do not perform every and all requests of the client john, as well as those who do not perform adequately in the eyes of the client.

You didn't get picked by Deloitte? Well yeah, cuz you're not ugly!
He would fit well in Deloitte. He's smart, doesn't have fashion style, and he's a backstabbing son of a gun.
Therapist: What's seems to be the problem?
Patient: I work at Deloitte
Therapist: Oh...this IS serious!

A company, like any other, that is led by out-of-touch, miserable, lonely, and pathetic partners.
These partners make broad generalizations about the younger members of their company's work force who happen to have negative opinions about the lifestyle they were thrown into upon signing their offer letters. They support these generalizations by throwing about unsubstantiated facts and figures (see the "20-30%" comment and the "daddy" reference in definition 2. above) and whining to anyone who will listen that they can't figure out how to keep talented accountants.
Further proof of the fact that those at the partnership level are out of synch with those who actually do their grunt work lies in the partners' belief that the audit staff members are unable to admit to themselves that they made a mistake in choosing their profession. This is completely false. Every one of these so-called "over-achieving grads" will freely admit their mistake. But calling it a "mistake" isn't exactly fair, is it? It would be more truthful to say that they were "duped" into employment by way of empty promises, audit room war stories, and lucrative internships.
These partners continue to walk around with their heads in the clouds, making up fantastic stories to explain the parade of 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-years walking out the Deloitte door each year. These made-up stories include, but are not limited to, impressive details about their workers desperately trying to impress "daddy", workers who didn't pay for college themselves, and workers who "do not yet realize the benefit of hard work." Again, see definition 2 above.
Deloitte staff auditors do realize the likely benefit of hard their work, and that is the crux of the problem. They know that rising stars will be rewarded with unreasonable expectations, longer hours, unhealthy lifestyles, divorces, and depression.

A public Accounting firm where, on any given day, people walk around with attitudes and grudges. The problem is, MOST of these people should NOT have these grudges because they are either OLD or not very attractive!! Most of the women walk around as if their 'you know what' doesn't smell. The problem here is that it DOES smell. Most of the day is spent backstabbing employees who actually have lives outside the firm - this gives the not very attractive people something to do. Most of the people who do things on the weekends end up being asked to leave, upon which they find a new job for the same salary, but with less hours and demands. This further annoys the 'I'm a company man forever' types and they take it out on new hires. Not one of these 'company man' types can satisfy his/her spouse and usually is the first to find out that someone else is doing the satisfying.

1. A business environment fostering annoying, whiny, pompous, "wheres is mommy and daddy to pay my bills" individuals who not quite understand the concept of hard work or the ability to lead instead of following.
2. A firm where the misuse of client funds is used for the transportation of partners to strip clubs and work because the demi-gods are not allowed to touch public transportation

Ah yes - this organization is one that fosters backstabbing and cliques. It then proclaims to be 'The Employer of Choice' An organization where you will NOT succeed, unless you are Asian. This is because the Seniors who are Asian give the work to the Asian guys and most of the non-Asian Senior men are bald, short, ugly - or a combination of the three, and they just looooooooooove Asian girls. Most of the young chicks are methed-out from the hours and some even have mid-back tattoos! There are some cool people at Deloitte, but they are few and far between and IN NO WAY want to join a clique.
I'm pretty cool, good-looking, healthy and have a lot of friends and family.
Well, you don't want to work for Deloitte - it'll all be lost!
