Sounds like ACN wants to burn some liability from its balance sheet before calendar year-end

Making us use PTO over Christmas is so dumb imo. Why can’t Accenture just give us a week or two off? 90% of us are already ghosting hours every pay period

What’s the point of announcing office closures when you still have to use PTO? Haven’t been in the office in almost 2 years anyways lol

Deloitte is doing disconnect days (essentially one person on the project has to watch for emails and everyone else is off).

Lol yeah

What?!

Deloitte may have its issues but this makes us look so much better lol.

Wait Accenture makes you use PTO hours for holiday closures?

I imagine it’ll be a combination of both. But at acn, using pto doesn’t go against chargeability but training does.

Use sick days instead of pto

The alternative last year was to work OT on the state unemployment projects on Xmas Eve. I took almost nothing last year, and i got FAT OT.

Was everyone eligible for OT? Or just Analysts?

Is that in US?

Cause I know it's common practice in Australia for all firms.

Yup, US.

What questions would you ask a recruiter when discussing benefits? What’s important?

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
