OP, as someone that has worked for ACN, EY and now a mid sized consultancy that makes most of its revenue with “change sourcing”—whatever the hell that is... ACN isn’t a consulting firm. Hasn’t been since it IPOd. It’s very much a Fortune 500 corporation regardless of its branding. But it might help you to know that missing internal revenue targets is always the excuse for cutting back variable pay as well as base salary increases for the Big 4. If you want to consistently get paid the highest in the industry, join an actual consulting/advisory firm.

We haven't hit our internal targets, which is why the comp is weak this year. That said they've shown a total lack of transparency - really annoying... as far as anyone knows we've been doing quite well, then tons of people get shitty comp for...reasons? We can sift through bullshit, like those comp emails, that's our job. Just tell us - business is business, not like we're always soaring. We're adults. Cut the shit.
