> One Accenture employee
Yeah look easy to hate on Facebook, but Accenture is a big company and can easily send their own staff home to sit on the bench and do business development or just work on another client.

I agree it's possible. If there are small consultancies doing the same work that would happen. Accenture would be more likely to wear it though to avoid rehire and PR expenses.
My point was that it's on Accenture what they choose to do, a company with plenty of billions and locus of control - not the client.
There will be provisions for backfills if/when people quit and the like, but otherwise they would have to have agreement from FB to alter the contract to have nobody billing for some period of time.
Whomever is managing the engagement from Accenture is shitting the bed and communicating poorly, for sure, though.
Yes. Multiple years in big 4 consulting much spent writing statements of work - Accenture is not powerless and can definitely make the call here for a few weeks. Takes an engagement director with backbone and managing partner + maybe executive buy in but it's definitely very doable for a many billon dollar company.

Agreed.
