What makes for a good PwC employee? Excel skills? Critical thinking? The number of high-fives given to co-workers when they manage to not screw something up? Every one measures him or herself differently even though your superiors often measure you by indecipherable arbitrary platitudes.
But in a farewell email that several sources have sent to us, we learn that one soon-to-be ex-employee admits that he has fallen short of his own expectations:
Hi Everybody,Today is my last day with the Firm. I just wanted to thank everyone for everything. I learned a lot about myself and I am grateful for the friends I made.I remembered when I was in an interview years ago for my internship, I told my interviewers what defined me first and foremost as a person is Jesus, my family then friends. Today, I would say that Jesus still defines who I am as a person because I believe He is good and He loves us so much that He died on the cross so that we can come back to Him (John 3:16). I know that I had many opportunities to make Jesus look good during my time in the Firm and many times, I failed to do so because I was timid and did not love people as I should. However, I believe everyday is a new day of grace and there is another opportunity to make Jesus look good. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite Bible quotes: Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28My personal email is [redacted]. Feel free to contact me if you ever wanted to talk about Jesus.Thank You!
This strikes me as a sincere email and I mean, seriously, who wouldn't want to be down with JC? You know how it is when the party is going strong and all of a sudden the food and booze is running low. With the SoG around, those problems can be fixed with some water, a few loaves of Wonder Bread, and a box of fish sticks. So anyone that could use a little more of that (or maybe some of that salvation stuff) should jump at this opportunity.
But as for this guy's performance (i.e. making Jesus look good), I think this guy is being a little too hard on himself. JC was betrayed, doubted, and denied by his closest friends. You're an auditor. He's already forgiven you just for that.
This announcement is a week old but it’s GC worthy so if you feel compelled to mention the timing of our post, don’t. Supposedly, this chap to the right is Nectophrynoides deloittei and was discovered in the Rubeho Forest in
