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.

Accenture made us sign a document saying we are working from home ergonomically. No financial support for the set up lol.

This is still better that most client site set ups. Let’s be honest. No more elbows to assholes in a windowless conference room? I’ll take it.

I make 6 figures because I know how to negotiate an employment agreement and mine does not include a requirement for me to provide internet, chair, desk, and square footage to be used as an office.

Firm covers cell/WiFi expense - I thought is was always assumed in our industry for the last 20 years that everyone should be capable of working from home from time to time. Most consulting dumped permanent office space many years ago, and it was either the client site or wfh and so they put in reimbursements for cell/WiFi while some also added a home printer... not sure we should expect more, that seems very accommodating to me

We pay for it ourselves and are not reimbursed. Gotta protect those margins...

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
