The latter but know that this will happen everywhere in consulting. It’s part of the nature of work to navigate those waters and somewhat of a right of passage to “save” more senior folks stories by taking the fall.
I finally left Accenture partly over frustration over this.
I also was thrown under the bus! Looking to leave now. Welcome to the club
I had an extremely risky project that I was pulled out of a big program for and escalated all the way to the country lead to take it onboard. It was the kind of project that even the client is sure it will not end well 😂 surprisingly it did and everyone had to put-off their plan to have me under the bus to come take the credit. You never safe!
This is me. I’ve just taken the emotion and care out of work. So idc to bust my ass. Just take the salary and whatever bonus, get your wlb and do something on the side
This D?
Shocked haha, sadly that would’ve happened to you there too
We all go through similar situations as we grow in the consulting industry. Usually if you are working with decent / competent people, most of that drama is unnecessary so if you focus on that then you have much less to worry about
We both know it is unfair and bitter, I am not trying to debate or hide that fact. However, you either follow their tactics (which I doubt u will coz u’d have done so already) or build a leverage to force them to play nice - I did the latter (like become an expert in something imp)
On a more productive note, any advice on how to prevent something like this from happening in the future?
Don’t put ur trust in selfish and untrustworthy leaders. If so, they should be competent so the shit will fall downhill to you
