Not "show me the moooonnneeeeyyyy"!!!

Absolutely not. If you, as the client, got presented with the number on the final bill at the start, you wouldn't have let them in the front door to begin with.

They have another saying, which sums up their culture: "Don't leave any money on the table!"

Nah, they assimilate the local population. They are more like Tribbles.

Stop feeding them Quadrotriticale then!

Sounds like they assimilate just like the Borg from Star Trek! Resistance is futile

"Land and expand" - it's an open secret...

1996? A trip down memory lane.

1996-1999 I worked next to the Arthur Anderson Birmingham office . Everyone going in and out of there looked absolutely loaded.

The company cars being driven back then by those guys were enough to make even a contractor green. One of them drove in a 7 series mon-thurs and an Lotus on Fridays.

A grand a day for six months builds quite the warchest; especially when you have no time to spend it either.

[aside]I worked alongside them once. I found it fascinating. On day one there was 1 of them. There were 3 by the end of the week, ten by the end of the next week and there were over 20 of them a week later. They were all documenting. And you know what? They never spoke a word to us. No eye contact, nothing.

Fascinating. Though not in a good way.[/aside]

Unfortunately the best people they send will do two days work and three days selling you more Accenture bodies each week.
