Battistelli-Commissioned PwC ‘Study’: Survey Comparison Shows Serious Deterioration and Efforts by PwC to Disguise the Truth

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC): best propaganda money can buy?

PwC survey
Survey Comparison. Large version.



Summary: The latest output from PwC turns out to be even worse than initially thought, indicating that not only did it find a degradation in the EPO but also attempted to hide/obscure it

THE situation at the EPO is getting out of hand, to the point where Battistelli has made up some new and truly silly "Social Conference" (more waste of money which corrupts truth and journalism) in which to lie and deny the crisis.



In no sane institution where accountability exists would Battistelli have kept his job this long.

"We are hoping that more people will leak to us material that's related to this."Looking at a comparison of surveys, it becomes ever more apparent that not only Battistelli lies; the people whom he hired are lying as well.

The picture “Survey Comparison” (it's really self-explanatory), as shown above, is quite revealing and it relates to the study's criticism (see "Battistelli-Commissioned PwC 'Study': The Raw Outcome Shows Distortion of the Facts at the EPO's Notorious 'Social Conference'").

"Survey Comparison" is a comparison of the 2016 results with those of 2011 and it "reveals that the deterioration of the social climate is reflected also by the data collected by PwC, despite their efforts of hiding the truth," a source told us. We are hoping that more people will leak to us material that's related to this. We actually got some leaks on the very same day the 'studies' got published internally. We rely on these leaks to tell the truth. Properly scrutinised, these surveys can actually be used against Battistelli, which is perhaps why these never got released to the public (only flawed "conclusions" were advertised and linked to 3 times over the past week in Twitter).
