You may or may not have heard already about a little email making the rounds in Ireland that originated inside PwC. A few dudes figured they would rate the female incoming associates and of course the thing went viral. PwC's leadership in Ireland got wind of it and since this sort of thing is typically frowned upon, they are now investigating the matter. It's rumored that this ranking is a "tradition" inside the firm but if it sounds familiar, it should. Last year we reported on a similar contest that originated inside Deloitte but the genders were reversed and there were creative categories like, "Most likely to sleep his way to partner." This particular ranking is about as imaginative as you would expect from a bunch of dudes at PwC.
Because we're the ambitious type, we thought we'd try to run down the email and photos and by the grace of the gossip Gods, our persistence paid off. After the jump, the email with the less-than-classy comments – including one guy asking his email to be removed if it the message was going to be forwarded – and the accompanying slideshow (sans names of course).
