| > The big story here is that Accenture are losing a TON of work. The AI part of this headline isn't particularly interesting IMO. And from the article: > The company said revenues grew 7 per cent to $69.7bn in the year to August, for a net income of $7.83bn, up 6 per cent. Where's it talk about the TON of work they lost? |

| If I sell you a table for $100, and sell you another one later for $107, did that second table automatically take more work to make? |

| ▲ | ceejayoz 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | But that isn't the only piece we have to go on; they're laying off 11k people. | | |
| ▲ | onlyrealcuzzo 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | That has less than 0 to do with how many tables a company sells. If you can buy a table making machine and lay off 100% of your table makers, you could sell 3x as many tables, and have 20x as much profit. | | |
| ▲ | ceejayoz 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | That may be. The point remains - revenue and amount of work are not necessarily directly correlated. It's not uncommon for a business that's struggling to increase prices to boost revenue short-term, but screw themselves long-term. |
