I thought this post might prove instructive as we begin to get into negotiations.

That was ten months ago. The grooming guide was such a farce that it had to be mocked. The mistake was the author was named on the board and EY used that as an excuse to go after all posters on Pprune. They do not like ANY negative comments posted as it affects recruitment so Internet Brands, the owner of Pprune, was threatened with legal action and they rolled over and divulged the identities of all the posters EY thought had been a thorn in their side.
Nobody was fired, a few were called in for "tea and biscuits" with the chief pilot, warned and made to apologize. The implied threat made all active EY posters be really leery about Pprune so most stopped posting and those who kept on toned down their posts, a good source of information is no longer available. I was a regular poster but only posted factual, or what I though to be factual, information, both pro and con. I also answered many PM's about working here, which all in all is not a bad place. However Pprune is no longer a source for us to exercise due diligence when trying to decide where to work.

Internet Brands also owns APC and there is nothing to stop for e.g. Delta, Fedex, CAL etc from threatening IB with legal action, and you can bet they will not hesitate to hand over any of your email address and or identities.
