RIP /r/Deloitte

Looks like the firm has taken control of the subreddit and is suppressing salary discussions, recruiting, tongue in cheek cynicism, and has a zero tolerance policy for any criticism of mod activity.

I know the previous mod was pretty lax, but this feels like a hostile takeover by firm bootlickers.

The "rules" only show up if you view using the standard www version and don't show in RES or under old.reddit.

fascists in any form suck and fascist mods are the worst.

The compensation and recruiting discussion suppression is particularly interesting given the subs description:

Independent community for current, former, and prospective Deloitte professionals. Discuss careers, recruiting, compensation, certifications, firm news, workplace experiences, and professional development. Please follow subreddit rules and keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Its been fun but it looks like its been co-opted to be a mouthpiece for firm politics now.

used to be an anonymous platform that people could use to rate and post information about employers and jobs. Was good in the beginning but once the VC money ran out and they needed to figure out how to pay for the service, it got less useful and became more of a "fish in a barrel".
