grabe dito sa mckinley HELL! sila lang talaga ang nakinabang dito. sobrang hassle pumunta at umuwi, mahal ng mga kainan, at ang pinakamalupit eh BINABAHA!

yung mga natipid ng company sa pagrent nila sa building eh nadagdag sa cost at effort ng mga employees.

nung nasa boni pa kami, sobrang willing lahat ng tao na mag-OTY kasi paglabas mo andyan lang ang mrt at maraming makakainan. di nila inisip yun, mas nakakaperform ang mga tao noon kumpara ngayon.

tsk tsk tsk…

Hay…what do you expect? shempre, management will try to defend the company, Shempre! So, redundancy, or layoffs, pareho lang un sa nawalan ng trabaho!

Share ko lang experience ko, I’m one of those 1st 500. Almost 5 yrs nako sa ACN. Now lang ako na-bench, for almost 5 years, work like a horse ako sa company then bench ako for 1 month then ayun, kasama nako sa naaalis.

Think about it, shempre as for me, masama loob ko. Kasi for almost 5 years, nakinabang sakin ang company, to think, diamond client ang project ko(meaning one of the projects na malaki ang kinikita ng company). Then kakabench ko pa lang, tanggal nako? para bang, kung iisipin mo, hindi ka na kailangan sa ngayon kaya tanggal ka na. Anyway, madami pang pwedeng ipalit sayo na mga bago, fresh legs, mas mababa ang cost. Ayun! I’m sure naman hindi pa lugi, as in, walang ng pera ang accenture para tanggalin ang isang empleyado na breadwinner at matagal nyong pinakinabangan. Kung talagang people company ang accenture sana inisip nila na itong tao na to, pwede pang hindi alisin kasi malaki ang naging contribution at baka pwedeng ihanap ng ibang project. Kaso hindi e, basta wala ka ng pakinabang sa ngayon, ayun ang importante sa kanila. Ayaw nila ng maliit lang na kita, kaya mas maiging alisin ka nila at ipalit ang mas maliit na sweldo para mas malaki ang kita. Greedy ika nga. Hindi marunong magsakripisyo para sa mga tao nya kahit madaming sinakripisyo ang taong yun para sa kanila!

Nasira ang pagkakakilala ko sa kumpanyang yan.

Fortunately, I was able to explore other opportunities, kasi nung nasa ACN ako, umikot lang sa ACN mundo ko, kala ko sa ACN nako tatanda. hahahaha. Pero pag lumabas ka pala ng ACN, mare realize mo na may iba pa palang mundo outside ACN. luckily, na hire ako and mind you, double ang salary ko sa present job ko. TL ako noon sa ACN.

Period!

I am one of the Redundant 500 and naka move on na ako from that horrible experience, after a month long of job hunting, I finally got one. The seminar of DBM did not really help as well as the Job Fair Accenture provided (the participants are all search firms).

This is the first time na na lay-off ako and it really hurts me but I am thankful pa rin because in my 3 months stint in Accenture, I learned a lot.

So sana mag move on yung hindi pa nag move on. Concentrate on looking for another job or mag business na lang.

Soon enough dadami pa ang layoffs. Late lang ang PH on whats happening because we are at the end of the chain. Kung sa America nawalan ng more than 500,000 jobs and still counting what more will happen sa CC jobs sa pinas which they consider despensable. Prepare for the aftermath, consider it as natural.

Over the holidays, they have overworked a lot of employees so they can bill clients bigger and compensate for bench employees. So, you can’t blame them for terminating bench employees. Either way, its still BAD MANAGEMENT.

They should also terminate decision makers who made the wrong choice of mass hiring last year. The global crisis started late 2007 and all forecasts reveal that recession is ahead. They should have seen this coming!

So now, they wasted money for compensating bench employees, and on severance pay for laid off employees. Ughh! What a waste!

I’m from Accenture. It was a business thing doing the redundany program. The world is facing such a hard time, what do you expect? And I don’t think the term to be used is “layoff” kasi laying off is terminating in bulk those who are “actively” working, ang nangyari sa accenture, most of those who lost their jobs are idle or cannot be rolled-in ASAP. Kaya hindi naman talaga nagtanggal ng mga taong nagtatrabaho. Doon naman sa nagsabi na may plan magtanggal ng almost 25% ng Accenture workers, you are giving malicious information. You have to confirm that first. If Accenture can do that, matakot na tayo sa Pilipinas, baka yung maliliit na kompanya, tuluyan ng mag-sara…Kasi that’s really worse especially with a company who belongs to the league of FEW which performs positively in this times…

I believe that Accenture is doing well right now. Kung may nawawalang clients, meron din namang nadadagdag like the recent (last december ata) deal na tinalo ng accenture ang IBM…It’s just a matter of tightening belts, which is everyone is doing. Parang sa bahay, hindi naman porke’t nagbawas ka ng paggamit ng aircon, mahirap na agad kayo…

This is very traumatic. Most/All employees are afraid na ma approach ng HR para lng sabihin na di na sila makakapasok the next day. We all know that business is business pero sana naisip nila na i freeze nalng yung salary instead of laying off employees na d naman deserving ma lay off. Kawawa naman ung mga nagtagal na and who have contributed a lot to the company.

Naawa naman ako sa mga na lay off na walang matinding reason. Lalo na sa hnde malakas sa management or should I say biased managers/leads. This is happening in real situation.

My only concern is that never say bad things to others lalo na makakasama sa career nila. Just be FAIR enough in commenting your employees to HR or sa sumasala ng employees to be terminated. DON’T BE BIAS.

Everyone, what’s happening now is a global thing and is not isolated to Accenture. Taking things in the right perspective, the total of 500 employees who were laid off is nothing compared to what other companies have been experiencing:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090127/ap_on_bi_ge/economy

Ultimately, it’s really just a painful business decision that companies have to make. In the case of Accenture, simply put, it was just a choice between preserving the jobs of 16K employees versus letting go of the 500 bench people who were idle/unproductive.
