There is really not much info on last week's layoffs so I'm worried that was just a start and we might be looking at much more this week. Does anybody know more on either what happened last week or what we might expect to see in the next few days?
I hate going into things blind...
Any severance pay?
Maybe they’ll become savvy to the bait and switch of sending an A-team for pre-sales to getting a bunch of kids - I mean non-experts - on the project. How anyone can’t see thru this is beyond me.
Expect it. No one wants to spend money on overpriced "consultants" who aren't experts to "upgrade" their organization.
that's discrimination age discrimination and wtf is chargeability. You interview for a job get hired at Accenture, then you have to interview again to get another job??? Then there is a pandemic and Accenture can't get clients to say 'ok' to their overpriced proposals. Then it is your fault because they can't find a client to pay so you can get paid? I have seen so much BS with respect to chargeability. Meaning you work for an internal group get stuff done for the company which benefits them and that is not considered chargeable? So you lose your job if you have done anything like that even though the company benefits from your work. I think anyone who was let go due to chargeability needs to talk to their federal congress person and their state congress person. If you could not find a role because of COVID how is it you are getting let go due to performance? That is nothing but BS. It is a BS release to keep their stock price up and the executive management paid. Nothing more than that
Anybody age 55+ years or older is a target.
