Fed: Unrewarded accountants have had enough

It looks like there's a major revolt stirring among finance and accounting staff across
the nation .. which could lead to a mass exodus from the industry.

New research by financial recruitment firm Robert Half has found that 50 per cent of
finance and accountant staff plan to quit their job.

The survey of 330 people found that 90 per cent of employers didn't introduce retention
packages for key staff during the the economic downturn .. and this is a major reason
for the planned exit of staff.

The survey found 68 per cent respondents indicating they'd experienced a decline in
working conditions in the last 12 months .. working longer hours and experiencing more
stress.
