Participants were enriched by a panel discussion of all Big Four accounting firm, talking about the ultimate taboos at workplace. Generation Y nowadays is being classified as the person who is self-centered and used to have a lot of enjoyment which will cause troubles when they step into complex and intriguing society in near future. Hence, Gen Ys are advised to be patience and not to request something that is unrealistic in return, said Ms. Lee Sue Chuen who is the People, Performance and Culture Director at KPMG.

   In relation to Gen Y's attitude, partner of Ernst & Young, Ms. Lee Soo Fern advised us not to job-hop so much. We should build our career and accumulate our career equity.
