Thread regarding Accenture layoffs

While everything that happened here was a lie, I’m happy Accenture had to pay money. They literally make 40-50% profit on each deal. And pay their employees sh–. Bloodsuckers deserve to get sued.

I happen to know that Mark Stephens and Accenture settled out of court. I don't know any details other than that it was for a sum to compensate for the plaintiff's claimed period of lost employment. Stephens had to sign a lifetime NDA.

Age discrimination is a JOKE it’s easier to be of color or questionable gender. Proving that you were discriminated because if age bias, even if as Accenture qualifies it as underlying bias, is like finding the white elephant. It is a sad truth that inexperienced chaps are being the next drones of big firms like Accenture even dressed alike and acting the same. Is that what the clients want? Maybe not. The approach of k–ling an ant with by dropping an Anvil on it is reminiscent of big consulting firms.

@oxlr is a true story

Nice story.

Told differently, a new manager is hired by ACN. His years of experience and outside recruiting mean he’s probably paid considerably more than his peers who rose through the ranks inside Accenture. That makes him more expensive to staff on client projects. His project is cancelled after 4 months. He sits on the bench for 4 months, without a new role. That’s a lifetime in the consulting world. He is then terminated. Three months later, Facebook declines to bring him back to the original project role and is not rehired. Nine months later, he finds that one of the managers he trained is now in charge. That’s a year an a half since the start of the original program. Also a lifetime in consulting. Apparently the junior guy was competent enough to get and keep the job over the older guy. It’s called meritocracy.

End of story.

Simple. Younger usually means cheaper - they work longer hours too.
