Former senior partner Kevin Ellis, who retired in June after 40 years at the firm, tried the RTO carrot many times over the past several years, suggesting that if people want to get ahead they&#8217;ll want to show their faces at the office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/pwc-uk-chair-kevin-ellis-on-ai-return-to-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lest they be replaced by AI<\/a>. Well, now the firm is going for the stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFace-to-face working is hugely important to a people business like ours, and the new policy tips the balance of our working week into being located alongside clients and colleagues,\u201d said PwC UK managing partner Laura Hinton in a statement to Bberg.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"596\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goingconcern.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/face-to-face-working.jpg?resize=596%2C419&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1000897042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goingconcern.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/face-to-face-working.jpg?w=596&amp;ssl=1 596w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goingconcern.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/face-to-face-working.jpg?resize=300%2C211&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goingconcern.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/face-to-face-working.jpg?resize=150%2C105&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Anyone at PwC UK who&#8217;s angrily polishing up their resume this afternoon after receiving this news should read this: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/survey-confirms-what-we-already-knew-rto-mandates-were-intended-to-get-people-to-quit\/\">Survey Confirms What We Already Knew: RTO Mandates Were Intended to Get People to Quit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July, <em>Financial Times<\/em> broke the news that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/bonus-watch-24-its-going-to-be-a-stingy-summer-at-the-kings-pwc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raises and bonuses were stingy at the King&#8217;s PwC this year<\/a>, too. At least for some teams\/service lines. They also axed the popular half-day summer Fridays, actions that when considered in the aggregate would compel a reasonable person to assume they really do hate you and want you to leave.

Much like PIP distribution. Almost as if all these things are connected&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PwC UK, perhaps more so than other Big 4 firms or maybe it only appears that way because they keep getting stories about it in the news, is highly motivated to maintain an appearance of business as usual despite challenging market conditions. When they did a round of voluntary separations in June, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/pwc-forces-people-out-and-then-tells-them-to-fib-in-their-farewell-emails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the firm told staff to fib about their departure<\/a> even though people talk and news of silent layoffs had been hanging in the air for weeks by the time people started abruptly disappearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a bunch of people to leave because they don&#8217;t want to be in the office for at least 60% of the week is far cleaner than having to quietly usher another batch of people out of the back door before anyone notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/11ccedba-f120-4dd2-a98f-19e8b59d7764\"

ensure compliance with the new policy and that location data will be sent to staff career coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In a memo sent to staff on Thursday, seen by the Financial Times, managing partner Laura Hinton said that the firm would begin sending staff their working location data every month, adding that employees must now spend \u201ca minimum of three days a week\u201d in the office or at client sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will start sharing your individual working location data with you on a monthly basis
