What is everyone's workload starting to look like? I can slowly see the workload pile getting bigger and bigger and I am not looking forward to the rest of the year? Any thoughts on how one manges workload and life without work bleeding into personal life time?

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken?

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?
