I worked as a vendor in a large telco project run by Accenture. In the middle of the project they “changed methodologies” - at the customer’s expense. Despite (IMO) selecting the right methodology up front being the whole point of hiring a company like Accenture, the managers at the telco were totally fine with this change - they were all working their asses off to ensure they got a gig at Accenture once the project was complete, they didn’t care about the telco at all.

The manager I worked under was absolutely complicit in this process of ripping off the customer. And while he was one of the worst managers I’ve ever worked with, he was very good at his main job, which - as I came to understand - was to get a job at Accenture.
