KPMG UK Chairman Bill Michael has resigned after controversial remarks he made during a virtual town hall meeting offended several employees and were subsequently made public.
During the virtual meeting Monday, Michael told employees to stop “moaning” about the coronavirus pandemic. “You can’t play the role of victim unless you’re sick—and I hope you’re not sick, you’re not ill. And if you’re not, take control of your life. Don’t sit there and moan about it,” he said. He went on to say unconscious bias is “complete crap” and that there was “no such thing.”
