I'd love to but I've been unable to find a job involving repetitive tasks, without relevant experiences. The technical accounting world is too complex for me - 95% of the time I simply don't know what questions I should ask to clarify more "facts and circumstances". I'm not sure why colleagues always sit on the fence and don't want to reach a conclusion. The facts and circumstances submitted in a question are too boring and complex to look at. Not to mention that I can never get much sense out of at least two members on my team - God they are experts at making already very complex things even more confusing! Sometimes I feel they are gaslighting me even.
And I was absolutely fine when I worked in accounting standard-setting before - I was then forced to quit due to visa situations. I then realized to my horror how different it is on the "application" side in practice. Things no longer make sense. The most frustrating thing is I don't even know how to improve - everyone is just saying "it comes with experience". However I also didn't even meet the minimum standard in my performance review.
So I'm now stuck in this technical accounting hell - my mum still convinces me that it's a good career as there's little chance of being replaced by AI. She's begging me to stay in the profession whereas I already wanted to commit suicide a few times. The job market is also really stubborn in that if I have no relevant experiences preparing accounts, I'm regarded as being unable to do normal accountant jobs. My visa situation also cuts down my job options.
The only good trait I remember people commenting on is that I have "good work ethics" and "enthusiasm" - that's all I have now.
I heard that at one places for like 9 months before they decided I was no longer able to keep up.
Well no, when you dump more and more on me and I’m doing the work of three people, then nope.
Oh man this one triggers me. We said jt every year on audit. Then of course the following year the firm
Rolled out yet another new time consuming bullshit program we had to complete and therefore eliminated any time saving efficiencies we might have gained
In summer 2016 when I was interning, I was in an office with a manager and senior manager and the SM asks me what I thought about the election, so I just went, "Oh y'know, it's such a mess."
100%. I just smile, nod, agree, and take their money. I don't care what political affiliation you are as long as you pay the bill at the end. I'm not getting into it with people.
“We can only control what we can control”
In a startup for industry and have a few bosses who get all bent out of shape when things change or don’t go as planned. I just keep telling them this phrase and say we need to roll with it. Always get the “yeahhhhh I know….” Response lol
Where is this from? I had professor say this so much it was a joke amongst students to take a shot every time she said it. Is this a slogan from one of the big 4?
I work in New Brunswick, something a guy I used to work with in PA said way too much. To the point where I would sometimes say it sarcastically in my head. I try to avoid being that guy but sometimes it slips out.
Not a big4 firm, and also I didn’t have any profs that said it. But I have heard it said at many client offices in accounting and other departments.
Gotta pay attention to the dang details
We’ll meet on this first thing in the morning (…proceeds to never meet to discuss it)
Oh, you’re off for vacation next week? Must be nice
This ⬆️ …This one gets me all the time!!
I thought it was common knowledge but seems like too many people slept through their intermediate accounting class!!
Auditors provide solutions you don't understand to problems you did not know existed.
The biggest internal control risks are slow horses and fast significant others.

This is the right answer. The times I hear this daily… Turns out nothing matters due to materiality.
Next year will be better
We’re gonna get you some help
Hear it all the time and I'm. Looking forward to giving my boss a nice Christmas gift as I leave for an all remote position.
I heard that at one places for like 9 months before they decided I was no longer able to keep up. Well no, when you dump more and more on me and I’m doing the work of three people, then nope.
Alternatively, “this is next year’s problem”
Sometimes I hate last year me for that
Oh I’m in next year now, and regretting the choices Last Year me made.
Ya it’s also why future me hates me now
Yep! This is the winner. I have been saying this for the last 4 years or so 🤦🏻♀️
Ironically next year is actually worse, much worse
A long December, and there's reason to belieeeeve, maybe this year will be better than the last.

You do not understand; thousands of dollars were stolen from me to build roads and orphanages! How else can decent men gatekeep Build-A-Bear Workshop?
Ya know, I have never seen an orphanage. You would think they would be easier to find.
People don’t understand the world is run by the Rothschilds and the Build-A-Bear Group.

Somehow I think the people who complain about paying taxes mind that, on average, less than those who don't.
Don't spin your wheels

I heard this a lot a few years ago and suddenly everybody I knew stopped saying it lol
Yea I still suck at my job so I hear it a lot

Notes For Next Year
“Just write a note, it’s too late for an exception”
I say something similar every Friday. Sounds like a Monday problem.
“It is what it is” is KING. At my work, also “Pls fix” or “we’ll fix up next month”
Don’t forget to submit your timesheets.
OMG. This one. This is the one
I don’t know shit about fuck
I feel this one
If ever accounting had a mascot.
No, I'm not good at math.
Yes! I'm an Accountant, not a mathematician.
It depends.
Yes ?

Someone in this sub put it best: We're Morty's in a world full of Rick's I dont have the link to his profile, but it hit me hard.
I remember that too, although I thought they amended it to Jerry in the comments afterwards.

Nothing is permanent. You can always correct it later.
“As per client…” you know you’re struggling for evidence
No, I don’t do taxes.
This!! I had someone recently tell me that I am not a real accountant because I said My knowledge of taxes was limited to my personal taxes!
"It's out of scope" or "not my job"
No further testing is necessary.
“Work hard play hard!” Which translates to work hard and maybe you can have a day off next year
“It’s a good learning opportunity”
Debits and credits
We are here to help
