last night i had another edition of a recurring dream i get where i'm driving to canada and the border crossing is this weird steep hill that you have to drive round and round a narrow, helical road to slowly ascend and then there's a heavily-guarded cold-war-style checkpoint bridge at the very top that disappears off into the invisible foggy mist of canada, but i forgot my passport so i have to drive all the way back down again that's my canada dream story thanks for reading

fart simpson posted:helical ascending road you say? that’s not in canada it’s here that does actually look an awful lot like my dream. though in my dream the road goes around the hill rather than next to it, it is up on weird supports like that and the general surrounding area looks very similar, bizarre.

Clearly a metaphor for driving in america yeah i've got it a few times, relatively recently actually. otherwise i doubt i'd remember it. it's not really scary per se, it's more like it's just a giant corkscrew-esque tower. sometimes on the way down i drive over the edge just to land on a lower level lol very strange

https://twitter.com/business/status/1638902685960400896quote:Accenture Plc surged after saying it will cut 19,000 jobs — about 2.5% of its workforce — over the next 18 months, one of the largest rounds of dismissals in a consultancy sector facing strong economic headwinds. Wasn't Accenture the consulting firm that Facebook was using to outsource it moderation, in an act of supreme Elite University thinking that didn't even recognize the existence of the temp firms out there which actually specialize in filling out customer support type roles in most places? (After hearing that, I was almost surprised that Meta wasn't outsourcing their janitorial services to some white-shoe firm.)

Gotta admit, I don't like seeing the words "a consultancy sector facing strong economic headwinds", as I'm in that sector and currently only have 25% of my FY24 booked.

the management consulting firms have been dumping people quietly for a while. on the other hand they and the big4 consultancies are building cyber and cloud managed services practices because everyone wants annuity revenue. everyone wants to buy their SOC from EY I guess?

EY were chasing me on LinkedIn about one of their spinoff specialist consultancy practices, they're getting super into that poo poo. so are law firms, I got the most pathetically unsuccessful sales pitch from one recently where they unironically said "we may use regex as one of several tools like machine learning" to (I think) sound clever to the business guys on the call when the place I just signed a contract with first got in touch with me last year one of the things they were looking for was someone to wrangle vendors in the same ai extractions space and I said that they were all snake oil merchants of varying degrees, not expecting this view to go down so well I'd get offered a job lol
