Accenture are firing people who don't use Copilot enough. This one comes from Microsoft (Accenture are a major vendor for MS). https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/02/25/accenture-youre-promoted-or-fired-on-using-the-ai/
@GossiTheDog So getting rid of the people who know how to do their job without an pseudo-AI crutch and keeping those who press buttons like a chimp trying to get fruit rewards in a science experiment. That's going to end well...

@GossiTheDog i can only assume that microsoft partner deals are going to start requiring ai use as well

@mensrea @GossiTheDog This.
Microsoft feels like it's turning from "please use our AI" to "Use our AI, or else"

AI is just the excuse — Accenture was laying people off furiously throughout 2025, because it’s having problems selling consulting
"People aren't buying our crappy AI consultancy... so let's push our AI consultancy more!"

As a former Accenture employee (from like ten years ago): dear lord, being let go for lack of projects to put me on was a blessing in disguise, wasn't it -

@GossiTheDog @switchingsoftware Ridiculous.
“Sandy, we have to let you go because you aren’t using Copilot enough.”
“But… I already use it for literally everything I do here.”
“Well, then I guess you should have made up stuff to get it to do for you. Security is waiting to take you to your desk. You have fifteen minutes to collect your things.”
“But—“
“If you’ll excuse me, Sandy, I need to ask Copilot to tell me how to word a call to my mother for her birthday before I fire the next person.”

"We are investing in upskilling our reinventors, which is our primary strategy. We are exiting on a compressed timeline, people where reskilling, based on our experience, is not a viable path for the skills we need."
Well...what...?

@GossiTheDog IMO, this is a great time to make co-pilot write you a script to run co-pilot, then you can call it "agentic".

@GossiTheDog Solution: Don't work for Accenture

@GossiTheDog
I love how they jump into every tech fad with both feet and no critical reflection. -

>We are investing in upskilling our reinventors...
That sentence made my eye twitch and throw up in my mouth a little.

@ckd @GossiTheDog I suppose it kind of tracks that people who write like that would think passing off AI slop as work would be good.

@mayintoronto @GossiTheDog oh! Let copilot use copilot, while you get on with the work? Ace your "performance" review *and* produce something carefully crafted, that you can be proud of?
If it were not for the plagiariam and ecocide involved, I'd heartily endorse this!
My stance is: mandated AI usage, tied to performance evaluation, is an assault on worker dignity.

@Cyberoutsider @GossiTheDog my company told us yesterday that no-one gets a pay rise (again!)... not even us overperforming engineers, because - wait for it - their stupid bet on stupid AI consultancy turned out to be a money pit just like we all said it would be.

@GossiTheDog Anyone know why the company whose counselling turns out just to be AI slop that you might as well slurp straight from the trough for a few bucks a month, has "trouble selling counselling"?

@GossiTheDog friend of mine was told last month that "manual" coding was no longer allowed. Everything must be done through Claude Code.

@ed questo mi sa che non lo seguo. L'ho già visto e per quanto non mi sia dispiaciuto non ho nemmeno 'sta gran voglia di rivederlo (peraltro visto anche di recente).
Buona visione!

@afreytes Or did you just have it all in your head and just needed to type it now, while you spent your morning thinking about the problem at hand, searching reference docs, etc?

I... Uh... Lost all four hours of my morning's code...
And I redid all of it in 15 minutes. No I'm not that good. I just accomplished very little this morning.

@mattblaze Damn you for being nuanced Matt.
