Ex City worker threatens to publish ‘Deloitte Diaries’ they claim will reveal debauched goings on at London’s ‘big four’ consultancy firms – saying dodgy expense claims, office affairs and aggressive behaviour are rife
- A social media user claiming to be an ex City worker says they’ll one day share details of less-than-wholesome world of consultancy firms
- Offered a taster of what a potential book might include with gossip-filled thread
- Consultancy ‘big four’ are though to be Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers
- Claims include seeing a director urinate into a cleaner’s bucket, and an employee claiming back £1.50 for a muffin despite being paid a £300K salary
- The thread has now had more than 27,000 likes on Twitter since being posted
A social media poster claiming to be a former City worker is threatening to publish a tell-all book on some of the less-than-salubrious behaviour they claim they’ve experienced during a stint working in London’s Square Mile.
The anonymous City employee, who posts under an Amir Khan fan account, @ybees3, on Twitter, posted a string of tweets documenting alleged bad behaviour while working for one of London’s major consultancy firms.
The first post in the explosive Twitter thread references the ‘big four’ consultancy firms, believed to be Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
A potential diary would make for awkward reading if the snippets offered thus far are true.

Square Mile gossip? A Twitter user, who writes under the Amir Khan fan account @ybees3, posted a gossip-filled thread of what they claim it’s like to work with London’s big four consultancy firms
@ybees3, who has, since posting the thread, changed their profile photo to two cats, began by recounting a dubious expenses claim, when a colleague claimed for a £1.50 muffin despite earning £300,000 a year
Writing earlier this week, the poster – who’s now changed their small Twitter profile photo to two cats since penning the post – wrote: ‘One day I will do a Deloitte diaries and tell you the f***** up things that go on at the Big 4.’
They continued: ‘Honestly, I have seen people paid £300k a year + claim back £1.50 on expenses for a muffin. I have seen Heads of Region urinate in a hotel lobby plant pot in the middle of a work party.’
The thread powers on in a similar vein, with the tale of a ‘junior’ employee being dismissed for ‘stealing printer cartridges from the stationary cupboard and selling them online, with an eBay account linked back to his work email.’
Other highlights in the potential future book, which the writer said would be called ‘Deloitte Diaries’, included a tale about a senior director urinating into a cleaning bucket in the cleaner’s absence while at a Christmas party at a posh hotel.
The grim missive continues with the ex employee saying when the cleaner came back, none the wiser about what had happened, they continued to clean the office floor with water that contained the director’s urine.
Elsewhere, there are also nuggets of gossip about a director apparently sleeping with a client.
The affair was discovered, says the alleged ex City worker, when a laptop was stolen from the director’s car, which his company discovered had been parked overnight on the driveway of his client’s house.
A Deloitte spokesperson responded to the thread, telling MailOnline. ‘Deloitte is committed to providing a safe working environment and we expect our employees to act professionally in the workplace or any other location.
‘Our internal policies and code of ethics clearly set out our expected standards of behaviour when conducting the firm’s business.
‘We encourage any of our people who have concerns about inappropriate behaviour to speak to us or call our confidential helpline.
‘Breaches of the expected standards may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal.’
