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.
Accenture took away MLK Day? Sounds like something the trade pubs would be interested to hear about.
This is a story that writes itself

Sorry to hear. That’s what happens when number crunchers run an agency.
Talk with your feet
Your sick days come out of your vacation days?! What the fresh hell...
I don’t think the US has any legal requirements for sick pay / PTO.
When your CCO leaves Droga to work at Publicis, you something’s rotten in Denmark...
So you’re telling me a consultancy that profits by showing other businesses how to cut corners is cutting corners?
😮
As if Droga employees needed a reason to work more hours.. rediculous.. feeling for you Droga friends 😞 💞
We do have MLK day. Just had it off last month OP.
I was LIVID about the sick days thing. Especially in the middle of a pandemic...
But we won’t have it off starting next year. Leadership may turn it into a service day but it will not be a day off.
This is the least surprising news ever. It’s Accenture.
We still have 20-25 days + personal days + work from home fridays.
I never used all of my days before, but that’s just me
We do not have personal days...
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?
Welcome, my son. Welcome, to the machine.
I’m sure the work has gotten better too :-). So the pendulum swings. People will leave. Independents will chip away and grow then get bought out. We are 4-5 decades into this pattern.
Fcb health added Juneteenth and Election Day permanently.
What they did is really messed up.
Don’t forget the Labor Day weekend additional days we would get at Droga. Didn’t we have half day Thursday, off Friday, and off Monday at D5? And now we only have Monday off through Accenture?
Point is it’s not cool for them to take our sick days
Wow.... just wow.
