Has anyone here from Accenture enrolled in the Work Local Program after paternity/maternity leave?

Don't do it. I did it last year then they laid me off, after being the top amongst my peer group previously.

You might be okay if you're a consultant or potentially a Manager.

I had the same experience as a Sr Manager at Accenture. I was “guaranteed” to work locally but received no additional support from HR in finding a role - my HR partner didn’t even know what the program was, I had to send her the info page about it! As a result my chargeability plummeted and then I was let go for performance (during some broader layoffs) with my chargeability metric being the only rationale despite me leading BD efforts that we won with a new client while unstaffed and salvaging a client relationship that was in the gutter once I finally got staffed.

Wait what? Was it tied directly to the work local program ?

In my (same) experience it was indirectly. The work local program won’t impact your performance review directly in the sense that the can’t use inability to travel as a negative or comparison point during reviews, but if it takes you longer to find a role than the impact to your chargeability will be used against you in the performance review.

How would this impact their decision to lay someone off? Seems independent of your performance

Yes I did! According to the program it won’t impact your performance review. Not sure how much it matters right now though since the vast majority of roles are already remote.

I’m in an interesting dilemma. Very interested in leaving my company, but I am also going through IVF. I know most new jobs require a year wait before you can go on maternity leave. Does anyone know a great company to work for that does not require this? Obviously, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but if this works, I don’t want to accept a job and not be paid for maternity leave because I am doing this solo. Appreciate all the help!

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
