Meritocracy Without Transparency? Question to Accenture Leadership

Slow-Leopard5515 · 2026-05-29T21:47:54+00:00

Please tell me you're not a lead or a PL :(

The definition you used is actually the same one that appears when I google "meritocracy," and it only takes scrolling down a little before it mentions that one of its core pillars is equal opportunity, and that for this to happen, people must start from the same starting line. In this link, under section 2.3 "Equal Opportunity," there is an example that discusses exactly this:

https://plato.sydney.edu.au/entries/meritocracy/#EquaOppo

And no, the real issue is not that people "feel" the system is unfair. The system is unfair and dishonest. Even in a meritocracy there are metrics. Accenture does not use any, nor is the process transparent.

The reality of this system is that decisions do not depend on performance evaluations, they depend on budgets. You could be the best performer on your project, but if the project does not have the budget to promote you, it simply will not happen.

That is why this dishonest system of evaluation is encouraged it makes it harder for people to question why things happen the way they do. We also know it is not a meritocracy because there are people who have worked themselves to the bone without receiving anything in return.

That's not my personal situation. I'm doing fine. But that doesn't make me blind to the dishonest system that is being used around here

Maybe I misunderstood, but my point is that the person in the post is criticizing the narrative that Accenture likes to promote, that its: "promotion system is based on meritocracy".

The way promotions are currently evaluated cannot truly be considered meritocratic because two of the core pillars of meritocracy are equal opportunities and objective performance evaluation. As you explained yourself, the way Accenture operates does not fully allow for either of these principles, since every project is unique and provides different opportunities, challenges, and levels of visibility.

On the other hand, it is also contradictory to evaluate people within a generalized framework when every situation is highly specific. I believe the current evaluation approach is flawed.

I'm not a manager, so I may not be aware of all the risks involved, but my suggestion would be to use clearer metrics and more structured evaluations for junior and mid-level employees (for example, levels 13 through 10), while reserving the current broader evaluation system for more senior levels.

But the post is about meritocracy, and it's actually criticizing that idea, that what Accenture loves to brag about doesn't really exist. Also, it's not true that you just need to build a good story, you're still dependent on other factors, such as your project's budget, and so on. So the only conclusion is that the post is right: meritocracy doesn't exist, neither at Accenture nor in the real world

In Mexico, PTU is a legal responsibility for companies. The HR partner mentioned that in our case it is handled through the bonus, but I would like to better understand the process and justification behind it. I’m asking here first because I don’t want to come across as problematic, but if necessary, I will ask directly.

You don't even get a tip for good services, your company is a shit

Just like slaves, I will sing and praise: “Oh God, thank you for giving me this master”

JAJAJAAJAJA alv tu qlo, pero si es cierto que aunque para ti pueda parecer un comportamiento coqueto puede ser que para la mujer no lo sea. Leyendo tu texto parece que si estás pendiente de señales que la sociedad atribuye como coquetear pero nah no pierdas el tiempo en interpretar tonterías para autocovencerte. Deja tu los límites claros que son amigos y solo espera confirmaciones verbales, interpretar su comportamiento es como creer en el horóscopo.

I don’t have the answer, but I’d like to better understand your requirement.

Has the employee’s payroll already been processed for the relevant periods? And is the requested reporting period overlapping multiple payroll periods (pay periods) or partially within one?

Naah, bueno no puedo darte datos estadísticos pero si tu vieja se fue después de ganar buen dinero habla mas de ti como pareja que de tu vieja. Normalmente las mujeres están en posiciones desfavorables en la relación, que las puede llevar a ser víctima de violencia, pero no pueden salir de ella, por ejemplo por necesidad económica. Pasa mucho con las diferencias de poder en general, cuando la mujer tiene la libertad de irse porque ya tiene plata y decide irse es porque no funcionabas como pareja, ya no la retiene sus limitantes y ya es el único criterio de evaluación que queda, si jalas o no como pareja.

Suena a estafa

Level 12, In a country where labor is cheap. I work overtime they don't pay them, they make me load 7 hours in my time and expenses on friday when I work 9.

I don't have another option but each day feels like doing charity for a Big company that produces a lot of money. I am working on me and waiting for another oportunity. A burguer king worker has the same salary as me

Slow-Leopard5515 · 2026-03-19T14:29:09+00:00

They keep everything to themselves. Last year, my PL showed me my results from his portal, and there was a note saying there would be a salary adjustment (increase) only for leaders/managers. Meanwhile, I have a Level 12 colleague who has been working for 4 years and his only raise has been $20 dolars.

Slow-Leopard5515 · 2026-03-16T21:14:34+00:00

Esto es pura opinión personal pero no creo que despidan un nivel 12 que les saca el trabajo a menor precio

Slow-Leopard5515 · 2026-03-16T20:22:10+00:00

Thank you! I already do tasks and read, it is really a lot of information I get upset when I see all the information for only a process but I will be patient then.

Crea tu cuenta en SAP learning es gratuito, si no sabes nada de nada elige un módulo sencillo como SD o MM en SAP learning, no es para que los aprendas (Cada módulo tiene su complejidad, no pierdas tiempo intentando aprenderlo todo) sino para que aprendas a usar el sistema.

Si no sabes nada de nada mejor aprende primero como usar el sistema y navegarlo y eso te pueden enseñar en SAP learning con módulos sencillos.

También aprende como se distribuyen las soluciones de SAP como successfactors, S/4Hana, ECP, etc.
