Accounting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) is mired in scandal after a group of 17 male employees in Dublin started forwarding around a "top 10" list of their picks for the most attractive female employees in the office. We have it.The frat boy behavior of 17 Irish PWC employees is quickly becoming an international incident. The company has already launched an investigation after the email was forwarded all over Ireland, and made its way into the newspapers there today:

Accounting trade magazines have picked up the story; once it hits the British tabloids, it'll certainly be a PR nightmare for PWC—which has 2,000 employees in Ireland, and 160,000 worldwide. It's already circulated widely in the Irish corporate world, and the media there has seen it, but no news outlet has published it yet.

Judge for yourself. (Don't get all exercised; there's nothing pornographic, it's standard company photos and titles.) Perhaps this will serve as a warning to office-working dudes across the corporate world: Don't do this.

This should not be a gender issue.

What's so scandalous about offering an opinion on who you think is "hot"...man or woman?

I suspect it's the overly PC or the people who were not in the running that took exception.

You can be sure a woman who didn't make the list was the first one to complain............

Nope. Norm with a capital N is a name, this I did not use

I like the comments below:

This is outrageous and completely unacceptable. How is one to formulate a meaningful, well-considered ranking without tits and ass shots?

What's interesting to me is, these auditing firms such as PWC collude with corporations everyday to cheat taxpayers and shareholders, yet this is the only thing the media seem to be interested in.

I didn't realise the dinosaur season had started already

Bingo!

I'll bet one or more of those gals makes a few dollars out of the expose.

Wait for the PWC 2012 calendar. (The 2011 has already gone to press). It will feature the top 12 employees of this top drawer company, knickerless.

(The CEO, the CFO, the HR Director, the Chairman and so on)

(Plus their secretaries, personal assistants, private cooks executive chefs and the rest)

Sorry, knackerless.

Good point. My first reaction wasn't too great but I'd be willing to take the interactive tour.

Economy in melt down

House Prices crashing

International Monetary Organisations circling

Austerity measures being increased

10 year bonds in inflation bombshell

Defecit purported to be many times more than the GreeK model

and people are worried about a bunch of male testesterone laden key board tossers who have only just learnt to walk without the aid of their hands

Unprofessional maybe but hardly scandalous. If this hadn't been "exposed" it would still be limited to a group of co-workers having a laugh. Meanwhile, Ireland's economy is headed back into the toilet and this is the biggest thing in the news.

Its very unprofessional and yes, mossy has it right about the "boys" who did this. What I find even more pathetic is the idea that somehow the women want this or are asking for it. Dinosaurs indeed.

Yeh !! .............Poorsucker, let's all get on his case ....................................( said in a gruff manly voice to become one of the boys )

Its not the best way to chat up a woman certainly. No office romance at this year's Christmas Party!
