    That is just so completely and utterly fncking wrong what the Herald have done.

    Splashing their faces on the front page like murder victims.

    They should all sue collectively for whatever they can think of.

    The Herald is probably going to get sued for posting those pics. One of the biggest rag papers around imo.

    It's the herald, what do you expect? It's marketed towards "the common man". How I ****ing detest the comman man. This is NOT frontpage worthy stuff by any means.

    Absolutely no doubt in my mind that they'll be losing their jobs. Serves them right.

    there may be a case for having the guy who initiated the email sacked, the others I would give a final warning to... If this stuff is as common as suggested all accountancy firms should send around an email to all staff, letting them know that if this happens again, they wont have a second chance.

    Everyone one of those original men need to be fired. Incredible stupid thing to do. It is one thing to talk about the girls at a coffee break talking amidst themselves - but to do it in a written format where others could read it, is the height of stupidity. It is so wrong on so many levels :mad:

    And what the Evening Herald did - talk about an invasion of privacy. I hope they are sued for loads.

    I'd say things are interesting on that floor of the office. Can you imagine the reaction of the management and human resources? The fall out is going to be horrendous for their families. Pity they didn't think of that first. Idiots.

    Mountain out of a molehill tbh.

    Got the email earlier. Not a big deal. Herald obviously just want something other than the economy to stick on the front page. Their mistake.

    I love that the Herald have tried to take some sort of moral high ground on the issue. Calling the girls "victims of a sexist email," while putting their photos on the front of their paper, which makes things so much worse for them.

    I agree that this kind of thing goes on in big offices all the time. But putting it in an email is stupid. And it is sexual harassment, even if it could be considered complimentary. They deserve to get sacked for being idiots.

    Cardinal rule: presume everything in work email will be read by your boss.

    These lads were in the company over a year and they failed to grasp that?

    One particular guy comments and signature all over it so reckon he is toast.

    The guy above refers to the ladies as "New Klunge!

    Couple of points.

    1. It is harmless
    2. I bet every girl on the list is delighted they are on the list
    3. Maybe the company should not post their pictures on the office intranet if they don't want stuff like this to happen
    4. boys will be boys
    someone send me the email!

    It's interesting that all those women are quite bland and similar looking - shows how the PWC recruitment process works.

    In my experience, the majority of newbies to the "big 4", wouldn't know their arse from their elbow. Their employers also have a fierce biased opinion towards the UCD / Trinners students which IMO is rediculus. It's not suprising that yet again we have another of the big 4 in the news for the wrong reasons.

    Reckon the TCD/UCD graduate would usually be from a well-off background and would be more 'appropriate' for dealing with clients?

    How many people do you know that look good in their work photos?

    Men rate women on their looks in all walks of life. If you could sort the Know Your Nerds or the photos thread in TLL by thanks, I'm sure you'd have a fairly decent ranking system.

    Did people get fired in that case?

    I'd nearly feel bad for the lads, one f*ck up and they've ruined their whole career.

    I would in me f.uck feel bad for them. How dare they debase any colleague or professional equal/peer like that? Those women are graduates (and highly intelligent ones to be with PWC -- they are known for being extremely selective). They deserve whatever backlash they get.
