Collaborative Solutions: *sells for 500m and ends up selling out to their thousand employees after promising to never sell to their employees and plummeting mental health after waves of layoffs from Cognizant*

Also Collaborative: *copies and pastes the same business model with the same executives and rebrands as The Groove in the exact same industry and same outline as before*

When did they promise they'd never sell?

Nothing surprising here.

Would you rather they sold to PE?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
