Digital will bring in about 10 billion dollars in revenue. We have no competition there, we make the market. So much for Accenture layoffs.

Accenture in Knoxville, TN is laying off everyone currently involved with their most recent project. The layoffs began today 11/09/2015 at 1pm. It is not expected to rehire any of the layed off employees.
Accenture is truly an epitome of "professional back stabbing" and a very feedback poor / malevolent organization.
