Accenture Bangalore is consistently laying off people.Instead of laying off in one day to get political wrath,it generally lays off small chunk of people everyday.
Accenture India in the past hired in masses.Now with 3500 people on bench,its paying the price.

Accenture Bangalore and Mumbai has done confirmed 600 layoffs.People are put on some Improvement Plan.generally two weeks to 4 weeks period in which they r asked to do some stuff which nobody in Accenture India has ever done.

250 layoffs by Accenture India.Mainly at Mumbai and Bangalore.Currently more than 4500 people on Bench-idle.
As per plan bench size needs to be reduced to half .That means 2000 heards are going to roll in month or so.

Accenture in India has sacked more than 3500 people and Iam one among them.I was put on PIP(performance improvement plan) and have been asked to do some irrelevant tasks.Inspite of doing all that crap, i was kicked out on march'09.Many of my colleagues faced the same thing and they ahve quit in october'08 only.PIP is for people who perform consitently without having any rapport with their seniors.Accenture is no more a MNC.they have more than 4000 people on bench now and no projects on pipeline.They are losing the existing projects as well to Indian companies.This is true and you can ask any accenture employee.

yes i also agree.Accenture in India has no projects in the pipeline.many projects they lost to TCS,Infy and Wipro.More than 3000 people are on bench now and they are doing some COE(Centre of Excellence) work.But the fact is, they are not doing anything relevant to their skill. They are just developing PPTs and Word docs.Many managers have been thrown out by accenture.Now they are just calling for people and advertising.But no recruitment is happening here in Accenture.They are just showing off in the public, to save the company's reputation.

Accenture management Bill Green , CFO Pamaela Craig, C00 among others , over paid bums .

Low performance , High Pay.

Also most senior executives are overpaid and low performance see them miss their sales targets consistently.

Top 25 percent overpaid bums.

300 execs being laid off worldwide.

Does anyone know how many Managers and Senior Manager level people are being laid off ?

Anonymous said...

Layoffs continue at PI&P, the former George Group, Lean Six Sigma Consultants. As these layoffs continue, the "senior executives" that have to make the calls continue to commute to the DC office on a weekly basis, one from Atlanta, another from Florida, another from Texas and there are others. An example of this strange arrangement - the one from Texas will travel in late on Monday, sit in office for two days sending emails and then go home on Thursday. What a deal.
