Accenture has fired over 11,000 employees globally in the last three months and has warned people that they will follow the company, if they cannot adapt to the artificial intelligence, FT. The IT consulting group detailed a restructuring program of $ 865 million on Thursday and presented perspectives for the next fiscal year, reflecting the weak demand from companies for consulting projects and expense restrictions within the US Federal Government. «We break up with the people for whom recalification is not a viable way to acquire the experiences we need,» said executive director Julie Sweet in a conference with analysts. At the end of August, the company had 779,000 employees, decreasing from 791,000 three months before, after starting a round of layoffs that will continue until the end of November. Although the demand for large digital transformation projects remains strong, the companies have been reluctant to hire external short -term consultants. An initiative to reduce the costs of the federal government, initially coordinated by Elon Musk, canceled the existing IT contracts and challenged other expenses for consultants, while availability in the public sector slowed the procurement process.
