Anybody know what’s going on with Truist and Accenture? Truist decided to end the contracts early for 100+ contractors this week. Granted some of them were offshore/useless but there were quite a few in IT that were solid and were supposed to be extended for another year and then magically the powers that be decided otherwise. Not sure what to make of it but our team is not sized correctly and now we definitely won’t be able to keep up with the workload.

It has been a bloodbath on the DB2 DBA team. It's mindless.
What happened here is that the Accenture contact was written in a way that reducing headcount over time was planned. The expectation was that “automation” would reduce the headcount need over time. Reality is that was a crock and never going to happen. Bottom line is they had to reduce the headcount anyway as that’s what was in the contract.
Approximately 420 request tickets generated in the last two weeks, for contingent workers and the related asset/laptop recovery process. I didn’t check every ticket but the ones I saw all had 12/19 as the termination date which makes sense since the last two weeks are mandatory unpaid / days off for contractors.
Don't know how many groups got told how much but there seems to be panic about offshore people being entitled to better pay and benefits based on how they're referred to.
IT….but I can’t get any more specific than that.
Not the same space but plenty of Protiviti contractors leaving too. Management is up to something here. Very strange with the ESPP not available first half the year too.
Without doxing yourself what group are you in?
