Accenture

Truly, some of the most exceptional coworkers I've had the opportunity to work with. Wickedly smart, kind, nurturing, and collaborative.

Prior to selling, we had the opportunity to work for the biggest brands while keeping our little family autonomous from the corporate grind.

All of the standard agency cons: overworked, underpaid, and pulled in too many directions. This was previously worth it, as Yesler was an awesome place to work and was actively promising to "right-size" our pay bands. Turns out right-sizing actually meant getting acquired and locking us into being underpaid until the end of 2021. That, on top of staggering unemployment rates and little to no information being disseminated prior, this feels more like a hostile takeover of Yesler's employees while the out-of-touch leadership rips their golden parachutes. Every employee at this company was forced into the worst position possible, while it appears to be Accenture's M.O.

I'm happy for you that you got to sell your successful business, but it's a shame that you leveraged the people who helped make this business successful and never took care of us. Also, it's probably a good idea to have Dave stop talking about how awesome it was to get wined and dined by ACN leadership, considering how awful this transition has been for the other 247 of us.
