Colleagues don’t have big 4 or mid tier audit in their resumes . The auditors are easy to tell cos they are micromanaging their team members, toxic personality , and often has no clue about how the business works and understand why u don’t have to always be so Nicky picky on everything

If you have told your associates about pressing deadlines, do your associates work overtime or over the weekends to complete their allocated tasks? Do they clear their review points even if they are no longer booked on the job, or do they expect others to clear them? Do they show initiative to learn and complete more sections, or do they keep quiet and say they don’t know how to do it?

It depends if this is a change for good or bad.

So rather than say I born too late, I blame myself. Born on time but I stupid lol.

Just like the generations before us laid the foundations for us to do well.
