[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?
What is the difference between KPMG FTS and FTE?

I personally don’t have any issues working on those brands. I know it might be an unpopular opinion, but I think a connected world is a better world. Of course it has its drawbacks, but on my sheet it’s more positives than negatives. Amazon made online shopping great which I’m very much grateful for.
Under the scope most brands are bad or bad-ish, or at least does something you disagree with. Coco Chanel was a nazi sympathizer, but somehow Chanel is still one of the most loved fashion brands. Nestle is literally screwing the planet, and owns 30% of the brands in your fridge. There’s no logic to what we deem good or bad.
On a broader scale, we work in an industry that’s selling shit the world don’t need while it’s slowly dying. That should be enough to keep you up at night. 😬
I worked at Meta. Everyone was nice. The money is good. The work is easy and unfulfilling. There’s LOTS of Kool Aid. It wasn’t for me, mostly because I still have ambition to make the kind of work I got into this industry for, but, the people there seem content to coast and cash in.
Reconciling whether they are good or evil is something you need to determine on your own.
They’re evil. That’s not really debatable.
They exist to distract you for as long as possible for ad revenue, and are willing to radicalize you or promote factually inaccurate content to do it. They have no limits or morals. They have research showing that they harm teens and Russia tipped the election in Trump’s favor and buried it. Zuck regularly ended meetings by saying “company over country.” They supported a genocide in Myanmar.
Yes, all companies do harm, but few are as craven about it.
That’s evil. No shades of grey. Maybe it’s up to us on whether that matters, but that is evil.
Wouldn’t any ad you made for them have basically the same problem? It’s not like you’ll be writing ads where the company tells the truth about those things that would need to be greenwashed - your job is to make their brand appealing to people. You’ll be promoting them. If not by greenwashing them, then via some other route. Seems like the same thing to me.

Amazon: not problem and a resume enhancer. Facebook: no effin way

Its my duty to divest as much money away from them as possible.
Agree. I’d guess most people who work for/on those brands look past that icky feeling because they get paid a lot.

No problem at all.

I’d have less issue with Amazon than Meta personally. But that’s just me.
We all have certain categories we wouldn’t work on, be it certain social media accounts, political accounts, tobacco or fire arms accounts, etc
Amazon seems fine. Fb I consider in the same realm as cigarettes at this point
