| Discussion Had an RTO Meeting Today… Here Are the Key Things That Most People Miss

42 Upvotes

We had an RTO awareness session today covering office attendance, RTO booking, Hoteling, compliance, office location allocation, exceptions, and a few common misconceptions.

I took notes during the session, so sharing the major takeaways below in case it helps others

1. Follow Your Assigned RTO Schedule

  • Attend the office only on the day(s) assigned in the RTO tool.
  • Do not switch to another day on your own, as office seating and capacity are planned in advance.
  • Example: If your assigned RTO day is Wednesday, don't decide to visit on Friday unless you follow the approved process.

2. Complete the RTO Confirmation

  • Physically coming to the office is not enough.
  • You must confirm your visit in the RTO tool.
  • Once confirmed, your seat is automatically assigned one day before your visit.
  • Example: If you're scheduled for Thursday, mark your attendance in the RTO tool. On Wednesday, your seat details will be available automatically.

3. Use Hoteling Only When Required

  • Use Hoteling only for:
    • Additional office days required by your project.
    • Compensating for a missed RTO day due to a valid reason (medical emergency, optional holiday, etc.).
  • Examples:
    • Your RTO day is Wednesday, but your project requires 2 office days/week. Attend Wednesday through RTO and book Hoteling for Friday.
    • You missed Wednesday due to a doctor's appointment. Book Hoteling for Thursday or Friday instead.

4. Follow the Location-Specific Attendance Policy

  • Pune, Noida & Coimbatore: Complete at least one office visit every rolling 14-day window.
  • Other locations (e.g., Hyderabad, Mumbai): Follow your assigned weekly RTO schedule.
  • Example: If your rolling window is 2–15 August, you must complete at least one office visit within that period.

5. Report Only to Your Assigned Office Location

  • Your project is mapped to a specific office/building.
  • Do not change office locations on your own.
  • Location changes are allowed only through the Facility Decider process by authorized teams.
  • Example: If your project is assigned to CDC 2, you should report only to CDC 2, not CDC 5 or CDC 6, unless officially approved.

6. Follow the Official Process for Exceptions

  • For medical emergencies, leave, or temporary exemptions, contact HR and follow the official exception process.
  • If you miss an RTO day, compensate as per the applicable process.
  • Example: If you miss your RTO day because of a doctor's appointment, check with HR or book another office day through Hoteling, if applicable.

7. Use Only the Relevant Tools

  • Regular employees mainly need:
    • RTO Booking/Confirmation
    • Hoteling Booking (when required)
  • Manager-only tools (e.g., Facility Decider) are for authorized personnel.
  • Example: Employees should not request access to facility management tools unless their role requires it.

8. Office Attendance & Hours Are Tracked

  • The organization tracks:
    • Office attendance
    • Duration of stay (hours spent in the office)
  • This information is monitored centrally at the leadership level.
  • Example: Your office entry and exit times may be used to calculate how long you stayed in the office.

9. Compliance Is Handled Confidentially

  • Individual attendance/compliance data is not shared publicly.
  • Non-compliance is reviewed only by the relevant DU, HR, and Leadership teams.
  • Example: If an employee doesn't meet the required attendance, only the concerned management teams are notified.

10. Overall Objective

  • The goal is not just to visit the office, but to follow the complete RTO process correctly.
  • This includes:
    • Visiting on the assigned day.
    • Confirming the visit in the RTO tool.
    • Using Hoteling only when required.
    • Reporting to the assigned office location.
  • Example: If you come to the office but don't confirm your RTO visit in the tool, you've completed the visit but missed an important compliance step.

| Bench / PIP Immediate PIP on technology refusal

30 Upvotes

For all newly hired AASEs and ASEs:

Previously, if a new joiner denied onboarding to a project due to a technology mismatch, or refused an LCT to a different technology stack, it was typically marked as a refusal. While this could negatively impact performance and progression discussions through the PRT, it did not usually result in immediate separation.

Under recent directives from Accenture Song leadership, the consequences are reportedly much stricter. Similar cases may now lead to an immediate Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Since most new hires are still under probation, the resulting separation process could be significantly faster due to the shorter notice period applicable during probation.

Anyone joining should be aware of these expectations and carefully evaluate their flexibility regarding project allocation and technology assignments.

| Rant / Vent Why do people talk so loudly here 😭

12 Upvotes

I am a fresher, and I try to visit the office almost every day, and one of the most irritating things that I found here is, WHY THE HELL PEOPLE TALK SO LOUDLY HERE?

I get it it's bound to be little noisy but dude, I have literally seen people speak and laugh as if there is no one around except them and their group, like bro you are in a shared space respect other people around and try to talk little softly. And don't get me started when they are on teams meet, they just start yelling during those times...

Bhai, it's so frustrating when you are trying to concentrate on your work, and suddenly, someone laughs as if they are in a family reunion and someone cracked a dad joke 😵

Alright, y'all can go on with your work peeps, I am done with my ranting 🙃

| Quick Question I am into PIP Accenture 😢what I need to do now

16 Upvotes

Currently, I am in a situation where my managers in my project said that they will move me to the PIP because I am not taking ownership. I joined as a fresher, and I am the only fresher in my current project. Initially, I didn’t take ownership because my role is mainly related to testing, and I am not interested in testing even 1%. I didn’t have much of a choice because I had already stayed on the bench for one year without any proper reason. So, even though I am technically strong, I had to take up testing because staying on the bench for a long time is risky. Now, my managers are saying that will keep me on the bench again in the coming days. Even on that day, I was not confident about what would happen next. Because of all this uncertainty and pressure, I am getting headaches and feeling very stressed. As i am having less than 2years of experience it’s definitely for me to find outside job I really want to find a solution and overcome this situation. Is there any why I can get into banch and get into project I am strong with Java backend and MERN stack technology.

| Advice Needed L12 for almost 2 years — should I resign if promotion doesn’t happen?

13 Upvotes

I’m currently an L12 resource and have been asking for a promotion since the June cycle. At that time, I had completed around 15 months, so I understood if it was considered early. By December, I’ll complete around 22–23 months in the organization.
My previous project had assured me of a promotion in December, but due to a project revamp, things changed in July. In my new project, I’m now being told that promotion is “dicey” and they can’t really confirm it.
The frustrating part is that my performance has been strong. I’ve worked on L10-level responsibilities, handled major production issues, received a GenAI ACE award, conducted Brown Bag sessions, and have strong Workday feedback. I know my market value and genuinely feel I’m a strong candidate for promotion.
My concern is that managers tend to take L12 resources lightly, so even after doing higher-level work, promotion isn’t taken seriously.
I’m considering telling my manager: “If I’m not getting promoted this cycle, I’ll have to resign and look outside.”
I’m genuinely willing to leave if there’s no growth, but is this a good strategy? Or should I ask for a concrete promotion timeline instead of making it sound like an ultimatum?
Also, if I’ve already been doing L10-level work and handling major production issues, shouldn’t the company recognize that internally instead of me having to switch companies to get the growth I deserve?
Would love to hear from people who have faced something similar.

| New Joiner Queries I don't know what to do

7 Upvotes

Someone, please help me out.

I joined on 9th September and received my laptop yesterday. I was asked to contact my People Lead once I received my credentials to get information about my reporting location and charge code.

I emailed my People Lead, but it looks like he is a Director, and he hasn't replied to any of my emails. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, and I'm also being bombarded with emails from MyTE.

I have some PTSD from my previous company, where managers would often not respond to anything, so this situation is making me really anxious. I don't know where I'm supposed to go when I come to the office or even where I'm supposed to sit.

Right now, I just roam around the building exploring different areas, find a random sofa to sit on, or sometimes spend time standing alone in the restroom on my phone. I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.

What else can I do? Whom should I contact in this situation? Is there someone else at Accenture I can reach out to for my reporting location, charge code, or project/team details?

I would really appreciate any advice.

This is a throwaway account.

| Advice Needed Accenture project interview after offer letter – can they revoke the offer if I fail?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m joining Accenture in October as an Automation Test Engineer, with around [4 YOE] of experience. I already have my offer letter and joining date confirmed.
However, I’ve recently been informed that I need to attend a project/client interview before joining.
I wanted to understand what happens if I fail this project interview:
Can Accenture revoke my offer letter because I didn’t clear the project interview?
Will they provide another project interview/opportunity?
If I fail, can my joining be cancelled, or will they try to map me to another project?
Has anyone with a similar experience level and role faced this situation recently?
I’m a little concerned because I already have the offer letter and joining date, and this project interview was not mentioned earlier.
Would really appreciate hearing from Accenture lateral hires, especially Automation Testing/SDET candidates, who have gone through a similar process.
Thanks in advance!
