How cum audit will layoff or PIP one??

I thought isca always crying abt shortage of auditors and our big 3 uni grads don't want to join Big 4 audit because low pay, long hours, unprestigious, too many jhks etc. Weren't they in crisis mode about the shortage recently, eg:

high finance or tech mass layoff i can understand because of high pay, high bonus = high risk of kenna chop. but audit??? pay so low and hours so long.
