If those days were outlined in the initial paperwork you signed when you joined then its an alteration to your contract and you should ask for an increase in base pay. (You won't get it, but at least you can raise a stink).

Piro needs a good senior CD, you get all those days and more. Independent and a good family vibe. Great work with clients who want great work. Work life balance a priority.

Have there been any upsides for employees thanks to Accenture? Eg. More money for promotions/raises/new hires to share the workload. Are they more willing now to sponsor visas for non Americans?
