I once sat next to a senior guy from Ingram micro in F class. Put all corporate expenditure through their corporate AMEX. Never paid for flights, pointed them all and had no status!

It's not harmful to anyone else. Not everything has to be controversial. It's just an alternative that allows more ppl to benefit.

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?
