Sounds like Accenture and a big reason I don’t work there anymore. Got tired of all the emotional bubble wrap, I do see your point OP but you can’t expect civilians who’s job it is to pretend like they know what they’re doing to know any different.

I teach Business and will be teaching BIM in the fall. Microsoft Word is the first section. If we are partially or totally virtual with ChromeBooks, what do y’all suggest for teaching Word to students since the Chromebooks only have Google Docx on them? I really like Word better and think they need to know how to use Word, but if students can’t access it, that’s a problem. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Hi All,

I joined
Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?
