Ernst & Young (EY) has terminated dozens of employees in the US following allegations of misconduct during mandatory professional training sessions. The dismissals, which occurred last week, stem from an internal investigation into the firm's "EY Ignite Learning Week" held in May. During the event, some employees reportedly attended multiple online training sessions simultaneously, which the firm deemed an ethical violation.
The firings have sparked backlash from the affected employees, many of whom claim they were unaware of any wrongdoing. Some argued that EY's promotional materials encouraged them to join as many sessions as possible based on their availability.
