To the offended Accenture personnel: lighten up. Every firm gets shit on no matter what. Every firm has great employees and terrible employees and every firm has great teams and bad teams. It's just how it is. Life is better when you can laugh at yourself.

Sitting here crying. I need a hug. I have a digestive disorder 5+ years. Can’t digest/bloat/constipation issues. This all manifested when I was in client facing consulting. After an ER visit, I finally got out, but I’m still working through this issue. Continued comments about “how small I am” are killing my confidence and adding to an already stressful situation 😢. I’m working with my doctor, but this is a process. I want to crawl into a hole

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple.

This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
