That's cool. What about the equality, inclusion, and diversity between your C&M and CDO groups?

What are you all talking about?! Salary? Bonuses? If you want to make more money or get better benefits, stop complaining, do more, be better, and get into those groups. Julie's messages is not about compensation it's about going to work not being targeted because of the color of your skin, your religion, or who you love.

Me being in CD&O, I understand the frustration but this is hardly the same thing. If you are not happy with your alignment you can always leave or make a case to switch. This memo conveys a complete different message- standing against bigotry and racism.

A4 is spot on. Accenture pays C&M kids 75k these days and staffs them on the same projects as kids making 49.5k in CDO, doing the exact same role.

A3, given the demographics of Accenture Strategy, it's definitely not diverse by any means.

OP AMERICAN soil part is so hilarious & priceless. Dude white supremacist have existed and killed before. Why you write a post as if this is brand new. You do remember US going to war in Germany fitting to take down the Nazis then coming home to a segregated society full of Jim crows laws.

Wow do you seemed so shocked or did this one situation open your eyes. I am truly confused.

Take time to go through the Jim crow laws which existed in America after WW2. NAZIS and Clan same thing different name

DD1 sounds like a disgruntled ex-acn... rather than making it a CDO vs C&M why not focus on the fact that something terrible happened and what we all can do to try and prevent it

I really wanted to just reply and be like "this sounds great but I experience carefully disguised sexism and racism on a daily basis and I really don't feel comfortable at all raising any slight concern and feel anything I voice falls on deaf ears that are only concerned with protecting the company."

A2 I think C&M strategy is inherently racist in nature by recruiting kids that meet and fit a certain mold...if you're Indian, you automatically get labeled as a 'it Indian guy' even if you came from one of the target schools

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
