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 only have pick from office option. So it can’t be shipped to us sadly !!! So if we don’t have it, there is no way to get it. :(
