'Millionaires or bums' | Deloitte boss tells UK staff 'your time is not your own'

A UK leader at Monitor Deloitte reportedly recently told junior staff that, if they wanted to be picky with work projects, they should become “millionaires, authors or bums”. This is according to a leaked internal email recently reported on by City.A.M.

In an email sent in early July, Alexander Curry, a Partner and UK Lead at Monitor Deloitte – a multinational consulting practice of Deloitte Consulting – reportedly said that junior staff members do not own their own time.

In the email introduction, Curry described himself as a “laissez-faire optimistic sort of” person.

Part of the internal email reportedly read: “Today, however I’ve had a couple of discussions with some of the younger members of the practice that have made me rather grumpy.”
