That such an entity would involve itself in such a subject is odd. As I understand it PwC’s core business is auditing, in which it has not exactly covered itself in glory in the past few years.
I would suggest that it stick to bean counting. If it insists in involving itself in such a subject perhaps it could reveal the income gap between its own suits in London/New York/ Johannesburg and lower-level employees?
