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.

Startup - $200 + Standing desk. I also took the monitors from office before I started wfh (technically I wasn’t supposed to)

LEK $125 for a monitor. That’s it

AND A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD BUT NOTHING EXTRAVAGANT

Nothing.

Only thing we got was a wired headset...I along with some coworkers just ended up taking an extra monitors and keyboards from work

Yeah. $250 at Huron for any office updates or office needs.

Cognizant $0 in US. 25% of monthly base pay in India. Seems fair.

25% additional pay in India

I personally feel like EY should have sent everyone a gd headset instead of a mask and 1 oz of hand sanitizer. If one more idiot tries using their computer audio, I swear to god...

EY Latam: Hey!! Here you have a coupon if want to buy a chair....

$0 from Slalom

Slalom - $0 but Be grateful that you have a job coz you know- we “care” for our people

Sarcasm?

If you are doing well on the project, and have a good relationship with one your account leads, you may get something. But it depends, if the budget is "tight"...well you know how that goes. Our project leaders are tremendous and held meetings with us to talk about our feelings/concerns in March and April and offered support. When someone asked about $$$$ for the Home Work Environment, they gave the company line ("NO") and their line ("Let's talk about what you need and see what we can do"). So I talked to them and got a pretty nice setup. I did shop around for deals and got a lot for about 650$ US.

PwC $0

1x Reimbursement up to $200

We're allowed to pick up things from the office... ROFL

We got a big fat nothing.

Actually, we don't even have the annual fitness fund or anything.

$400 to spend as we like... I got a fan, AirPod pro’s and a dock to use with my existing monitor.

What firm?

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
