Glad to find this mentioned, Accenture is absolutely an offender.

  I have had some ridiculous situations with them. For one the developers in Bangalore Delivery Center 8, and what do I know, all of them?, had to work with their private computers. A unix engineer could only work with Aix Tar and would not touch GNU Tar on Linux, because his manager had not approved it. Onshore engineers flying home to India due to a stomach ache, instead of seeing a doctor for free in the host country due to being afraid. Of course messing up the flow of our projects. 10/10 will leave jobs to avoid such projects and situations again.

This feels like an exaggeration to me, although I'm open to hearing specifics to the contrary. I know of (non resident) immigrants who delay medical visits and treatments until they get back to their home country, but flying home (spending a good deal of money on air fare) for just a stomach ache sounds pound foolish, which immigrants generally aren't.

      It happened, that's all I can say. At times banality knows no limits.
