Here is another messed up thing about our current project -- I'm the only person on the project. This is very frustrating because humans are social animals. They cannot simply be thrown into some random city and asked to work alone. True, many of us work alone -- but atleast you have cubicle neighbors, etc. I have no one. I work in an area of the office completely isolated from the rest of the team. Often, I work in another city, where I go to for only several day stings. That sucks too because its just short enough that I cant have a life in either location. Who the hell think I can be productive like this?

What percent of their work hours does the average Accenture employee spend on AIM? I would say 7%. How much of this is frivilous chat? About half. That is 60 hours every year!

I've been available for lunch for the past two weeks, but my supervisor has not once asked me to join him for lunch. He hasnt even invited me to join him to go get lunch to bring back to our desks. Today, he asked my colleague sitting next to us, but sort of skipped over me.

Fine. Dont call me when the system crashes on some random Saturday, because I wont have reception. I've done that before, and I would do it again.

I am annoyed by the idiots our firm hires. To demonstrate the stupidity of some of our workers, here is a snippet of our dialogue:

Me: Whats your cell?
Idiot: 917-111-1111, yours?
Me: 347-111-1111
Idiot: What is the 347 area code?
Me: New York
Idiot: No its not, New York is 917
Me: Ummm...what about 212? 646?

friggin idiots. Why even ask me if you dont have the mental capacity to process the answer?

I have not done a single thing for the past two weeks. My supervisor doesnt seem to notice that I havent done anything for the past two weeks. I initially thought it would last for one day, perhaps two or three. Yet it has gone one for two weeks. Perhaps the tired look on my face is fooling others into thinking that I am working hard. In reality, I have lost all will to work. My mind is numb from the boredom of what I do.

I could have completed the last three weeks of deliverables in two days. Had I done this on the first three days, I could have surfed the web at ease for the past three weeks. But I didnt, which has been my problem. Because now I think about the deliverables I should be producing everyday, and get an ugly feeling in my stomach about how I will eventually need to do them.

My life lost all meaning the day I joined Accenture. I create absolutely no value for society. I just help move data from one place to another. When I am sixty years old, I will love back to what I have accomplished -- and I will only see the darkness I helped spread.

What problem do Accenture managers have with just being good bosses? Why does it matter? Here are my estimated figures:

- I am 20% productive on projects where I have been forced to stay
- I am 30% productive on projects where my supervisor has wronged me
- I am 75% productive when my work is boring (with 1 day spurts of 250% to make up for days slacked off)
- I am 95% productive for good bosses (that is -3% for frivilous AIM chats and -2% for personal stuff.)
- I am 110% productive when I feel I have a good shot at promotion or a decent raise
- I am 175% productive for bosses who truly inspire me. Its only happened once so far. Big upz L.

What is the lesson? Inspire your people and they will produce good results, happily. How the hell did so many executives at Accenture rise to leadership positions when they cannot inspire their people.

What percentage of Accenture executives are fake? I think it is 60%. Of all the executives I've worked with, I would only work with 15% of them again by choice. I only trust 10% of them. What bothers me is that many of them dont even try to hide their fakeness.

But dont worry, I dont care either. I know who I trust and I know who I hate. I love to see production systems (those being run by fake managers) crash and burn. I sometimes even know these systems are in trouble, but I dont say anything so I can enjoy the pleasure of seeing these managers in deep shit.

I think one reason I stay at Accenture is because its easy to be mediocre here. There are so many bottom feeders that it is easy to "excel" (relatively) by just maintaining your status quo.

Welcome to my miserable life. I have worked at Accenture for four years. I've had good times and bad, but my life sinks deeper and deeper into the miserable depths of hell. Accenture is the only place I've ever worked. I dont know what I would do with my life if I didnt work here. I hate my life, I hate what I do, but I am afraid to leave. I wish I could die so I didnt have to bear the pain Accenture suffers on me daily.
