The good ole US of A is always here to help its friends in times of need (whether it’s right or wrong is another matter completely). This reverberates all the way down to the multi-national companies that enjoy expansive networks in the U.S.
Getting to the point: from the mailbag:
I (along with EVERY associate and senior associate in the US) got this email this morning from some idiot staff in KPMG Ireland asking us to vote for him to win a vacation courtesy of Coors Light. I’ve never heard of this guy but apparently thinks he knows all of us well enough to ask us to vote for his stupid beer vacation.
I kid you not — he actually looked up every associate and sr associate distribution list for every region/office and practice. He’s listed as a “Trainee” in the global address book under KPMG Ireland FS Audit (whatever that means). This idiot needs to be taught some email common sense…
But when matters of utmost importance – such as a winning a ski getaway to British Columbia – there is only one place to turn…The United States:
Hey everybody!
Me and 2 friends have entered a competition to win a free ski trip to Whistler, Canada. It just depends on who gets the most votes in a week. If you could follow the link and vote for us I’d really appreciate it.

It only takes about 10 seconds and no registration / email needed. You just enter your D.O.B to enter the main site (or any DOB that makes you over 18) then just hit the ‘vote for us’ tab on our profile –
Ri-Skii Business. If you can forward this to some friends or contacts in your different offices it could really help to put us out in front!
Thanks!
Here’s the plea from the Ri-Skii Business page:

Idiot? Or sheer genius? We’ll let you debate that one. In any case, help the dudes out and go vote. They’re just looking for the next adrenaline rush.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve decided that I’m not going to advertise someone else’s company for free. If KPMG pays me (like they paid Phil), I’d wear their ugly ass shoes. I work in the accounting department, not marketing. It’s not my job to help my employer do advertising. They don’t pay me for that.
P.S. I even took the dealership’s shitty-looking license plate frame off my car. If they would’ve given me a couple thousand off of the MSRP, I would’ve agreed to do advertising for them.
How many ways to say “no fucking way” are there?
Not a big 4-er but they don’t actually look half bad! Though agreed, not wearing them publicly without added compensation
LOL .. So UGLY !
Big NO
Are these for new partners?
If they fit, why not. if I need to buy them, hell no 😀
