Bloomberg, May 21: PwC Already Cut 600 Executive Assistants In February, McKinsey Cut 200 Late Last Year, KPMG + EY Are Offshoring The Same Roles. The Big-Four EA Job — 「Six-Figure Pay, No Elite Degree Required, Year-End Bonus, Total Job Security」 — Is The First Casualty Of The 18-Month AI-Assistant Rollout

Bloomberg dropped a May 21 piece naming names: PwC US laid off ~600 executive assistants in February with 4–6 weeks severance, McKinsey cut ~200 in late 2025, KPMG and EY are offshoring the rest. The job nobody warned was at risk turns out to be exactly the job their own internal AI assistants are good at.
