ACN treats people like trash and surely has the diabolical maturity to understand that you are making a very clean business decision driven by the creation of maximum shareholder value (that is: you are the sole shareholder in your career). Once you leave, everybody at ACN will have forgotten about you in a week and don't believe all this BS about "you never know who you might run into later". It's self-serving blabber.
Do you think ACN thought long about firing people with in 2 WEEKS of hiring them late 2001?
ACN does what is best for the partners pockets, you do what is best for yours.
Resign as LATE as possible, this way be assured of maximum $$$. And if they ask why you resigned late, tell them your impression was that ACN had a tendency to fire people on the spot and this risk was not in your best interest.
Alternatively, you don't have to tell them where you are going / what you are planning to do and just tell them you had a very short time period to make the decision. |

Fuccenture,
I browse the boards every once in a while and there's definitely a trend with your messages.
You certainly sound like an angry person, probably pissed off at the world for well, everything.
My guess is that you have difficulty fitting in with the Accenture crowd and if I may venture a guess, this probably extends into your personal life as well.
Here's a list of action items for you - please follow process below for measurable results.
1. Go to local bookstore annd and purchase the book "How to win friends and influence people". Although some of the practices in the book are outdated, there are some positive and beneficial messages in there.
2. Rather than going to your room after dinner and sleeping, go out to the social center with some of the people from class. Hopefully the newly formed skills from action item 1 will have allowed you to develop some rapport with your collegues in class.
3. Say the following phrase to yourself 5 times a day.(actually 10 times a day for you)
"The World is a decent place. I am a nice person and don't need to be angry anymore. People are not out to "get" me. People will like me, I just need to stop being such an uptight dipshit".
4. Ask someone close to you to give you a hug. Place head on their shoulders and just cry....let those tears flow...it's ok, no one will know (except, of course the person who's hugging you)
5. Stop cursing and getting red in the face from reading this message. Please repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have calmed down.
6. Even if you are slighlty tempted to respond to this message with a barrage of ineloquent and unsuccessful verbal attacks, please repeat steps 3 and 4 until heart beat has returned to normal resting rate.
Take care Fuccenture and please stop taking yourself so seriously....because no one else does! :)
G'day!
