PwC’s AI Robot Hires Fewer Humans, UK Edition
PwC's UK branch decided to cut graduate hires from 1,500 to 1,300 this year, blaming AI, a sluggish economy, and offshoring. Marco Amitrano, the UK big boss, tried sounding hopeful in The Sunday Times on July 11, 2024, claiming AI might create jobs if everyone holds hands, invests seriously, and tax policies behave. Meanwhile, PwC US plans a 33% slash over three years, praising 'AC integration'—their offshoring hustle disguised as transformation. Deloitte UK joined the party, dropping 300 interns without comment. Seems the Big Four accountants went Big Two-and-a-Half, proving robots gamble on human jobs while sipping their investor tea.

When your future job description is 'assist AI overlord,' it’s time to rethink that accounting degree. PwC’s hiring cuts are the new business classroom lesson: robots don’t drink coffee breaks.
