All these Accenture people saying nothing are forgetting about all that forced PTO every month 🙃
Enough forced time off with nowhere to go and limited notice, great conditions to woodwork yourself a new desk for days on end...

Agreed. But I will say our company’s stock price is still on the rise. Let’s be honest it’s all about the numbers.

We (Kearney) are also doing lay-offs and furloughs in certain parts of the world so it’s strange that we would try the guilt trip approach

Same here. Salary is compensation for the work you do. (Knowledge you apply for business outcomes in an amount of time)
Being employed it is also more or less regardless of that outcome is actually realized; as in, if the employer fails to get work for you, it doesn’t minimize your salary.
The employer in addition should also provide for the means you need to do your work.

Compare it with a car or a machine If the employer needs one, it will buy/lease it. But in order for it to run, it needs fuel or electricity. If there is no work for the car any investment and operational cost still continue, although it might consume a bit less fuel/electricity and it there is less wear and tear. (Provided you keep maintaining it / keep it ready for when it needs to operate again)

If business continues to be low, the entrepreneur can lend it temporary to someone else, sell it off or pay for it to be removed.

Google3: the overhead still exists in most cases, so I’m not following the logic. Maybe a few free meals to be delivered? That could work I suppose!

Anyone else in “I’ll do my job description and nothing more” mode?
