In the process, training was cut, administrative support was cut, raises are ridiculous and you need a charge number to get a pen from the supply closet. And to try to take our minds off reality, they give us a pathetic ??Total Rewards?? program which is supposed to make us feel better? Did you know that they made several of the lawyers who worked on the IPO partners? That should send us a clear message about Accenture??s new priorities. We have gone from a firm which focuses on doing the right thing to a firm which focuses on doing what we can legally get away with. Employees are treated like cogs in a huge money machine. Did the partners have the legal right to go public? Sure. Was it the best thing for employees? I??ll let you answer that question.
In fact, the partners have eliminated over 40,000 positions over the past three years in an effort to cut costs while hiring tens of thousands overseas. Have you noticed that while they tout the number of total employees, they don??t talk much about the number of US employees? And they do all this while being headquartered in Bermuda which allows them to pay fewer taxes in the US which increases the tax burden on US citizens. Our partners are experts at getting every possible party to subsidize their greed ?? employees, clients, governments, taxpayers, etc. Not only have they cut thousands of US jobs, they have actually hired over 4,200 H-1B visa workers from overseas, the fourth largest number of H-1B workers of any company in the US. Check out this list of top 25 H-1B Employers by Worker Count at the bottom of this web page:

In addition, they are now starting to send India employees all over the world, screwing other employees in the process. And they call this stewardship? Stewardship of what? I??m not na??ve enough to believe that Accenture has my best interests in mind. Everyone I??ve talked to agrees that things have changed for the worse but many people are afraid to do anything about it. That is why I??ve started looking for another job and will probably return to one of my previous employers who do not lie to their employees and expect them to smile as they get screwed. People say that life is just one big game. It??s clear that in this game the final score is: Partners Millions - Employees: Screwed. Shame on Accenture for destroying the future of its employees.
