    https://www.theverge.com/... I'm really proud of the work I did at @accenture for many years. I'm also really glad I don't have to collect a paycheck from a company forcing people to work in unsafe conditions. This is unethical.

    Accenture is a very irresponsible company, if they behave like this in Canada, it's management must be held responsible and name&shamed. #NewAppliedNow #accenture #Cloud #GirlsWhoCode https://www.theverge.com/...
