Can someone explain the Accenture tracks (I.e., CD&O, C&M, etc)?

CDO is usually outsourcing. So when Accenture gets a large outsourcing contract like usps or healthcare.gov (public contracts) Accenture runs all of the operations and technology for those companies. So essentially all of our usps mail supply chain is being managed by Accenture. Many times Accenture C&M will handle all of the consulting and technology/operations strategy and implementation then the company may sign a 5 year agreement that Accenture will run and support all of that which was implemented for the organization. That ongoing support is what is considered CDO. Hope that example helps.

C&M= project based work, true consulting. CD&O= delivery support, more like staff aug. C&M is more desirable internally due to higher compensation and arguably more interesting work.

Be aware that Accenture in the past has forced people from CM into CDO without much notice.

Thanks all, super helpful!

Idk if I would agree @D1. This only happens to people that don't get staffed after usually 4-6months. And I think a shift to CDO is better than getting possibly getting laid off. So I see it as a positive fall back for all employees.

So the only way out of CDO is to get out of Accenture?

A5 I've seen moves in both directions though I don't know how easy or hard it is to get out of CDO right now

There are acts of destruction daily in my classroom. Most of my classes are 25 kids in a small room. When my attention is taken for a second, someone does something like this. Gluing things to counters. Hiding paintbrushes instead of cleaning them. 15 years, I've tried everything to cultivate a respectful classroom culture, and they just don't care. I'm so tired. So, so tired. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

Weird question, I know, but I’ve been paired with someone who doesn’t collaborate, show initiative, communicate, know how to be a teammate, or honestly.. try at all.

We’re both new (since fall), so i had to uncomfortably call them out. I’m hoping things improve but I’m not holding my breath. I’m sure our coworkers recognize my effort, but I’m not letting this person drag me down. Please advise.

Would you ever accept a ground-floor bedroom facing the street (but set back from the pavement) in London?

There’s the option of using an internal bedroom instead, but it’s not nearly as nice as the street-facing one.
