There is this viral e-mail that has been circulating at work for the past few days. all this kind of things tend to happen during the peak period; where auditors started to feel the pressure of losing out on life and they try to make their life somehow meaningful by coming up with funny e-mails.

the email is funny alright, but at one stage does make one wonders, what or who we are actually?

So are you a prostitute or an auditor?

  1. You work very odd hours.
  2. You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.
  3. You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the money.
  4. You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room.
  5. You charge by the hour but your time can be extended.
  6. You are not proud of what you do.
  7. Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.
  8. It’s difficult to have a family.
  9. You have no job satisfaction.
  10. If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you to another client.
  11. You are embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living.
  12. People ask you, “What do you do?” and you can’t explain it.
  13. Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate.
  14. Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for the money.
  15. Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or Jaguars.
  16. Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs to ease the pain of it all.
  17. You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if the client is foolish enough to pay it’s not your problem.
  18. When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return looking like hell (compare your appearance on Monday AM to Friday PM).
  19. You are rated on your “performance” in an excruciating ordeal.
  20. Even though you get paid the big bucks, it’s the client who walks away smiling.
  21. The client always thinks your “cut” of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you.
  22. When you deduct your “take” from your billing rate, you constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with another pimp.
  23. Your pimp seems to often abuse you, forgetting that without you, he would not have a business.
  24. You do all the real work, but the pimp has a higher stigma and more money, and really just has to “coordinate” the work for you. Sometimes, you wonder if you could just make more money pimping out yourself.
  25. You get so brainwashed into the lifestyle, that you don’t realize that life can be better, until it is too late. 
  26. Personal time, or a work/life balance, is meaningless to your pimp, all he cares about is satisfying the clients, despite how many times he tells you he loves you.
  27. After a few years, you find that all your non-prostitute friends are no longer your friends, because you lost touch and your schedule and lifestyle was difficult to manage, and you find that you associate primarily with other prostitutes.
  28. The turnover rate is ridiculously high. Everyone thinks they can do it for a few years, no problem, but after just a few clients railing you, many break under the pressure, or quit for a better life.
  29. Most of the time, your job could be performed by a well-trained monkey.
  30. You thought college was a waste of time.

 

Again, which one are you; Prostitute or Auditor?
