  3. 😂 A friend of mine (who's been consulting for way longer than me) got hit with a holy-trinity of demands from a potential client this week.

    1. They approached her for a website for their business.
    2. They won't do down-payments (start for free).
    3. They want complete copyright ownership of code from day one and she works on their org's github pushing code (IP ownership before payment).
    4. They quoted her last year's currency conversion rates when she said USD.
    5. They won't allow her to showcase the final public facing website on her portfolio.
    6. No deemed acceptance clause.

    That's got to be a record right? 😭

  5. The Register: PwC will say goodbye to staff who aren’t convinced about AI. “You’ll use AI and like it too – if you work for PwC. Paul Griggs, US chief executive of the global professional services giant, has made clear there is no room at the corporation for AI skeptics.”

  6. These words are not mine, but they do a good job at expressing my fears for the future of our #TertiarySector

    “The university sector’s continued high spending on consultants and the uncertainty staff face may well be contributing to a crisis in higher education staff mental health.

    Adelaide University’s own Professor Maureen Dollard published results of a university sector survey last week indicating what many have been saying for the past few years: psychological safety in Australia’s higher education sector is in very poor shape.

    Universities are alike in high spending on consultants and alike in poor psychological safety for staff. The low state of staff morale at UTS and ANU in particular has received plenty of coverage in the press. What Professor Dollard’s work shows in this new study is how this phenomenon is present throughout the higher education sector.

    It is past time for a re-evaluation of how universities engage with consultants and how they can be better employers and better providers of the education students need.”

    The truly frightening revelations is the cost of Consultancies — in this case AU (Adelaide University) merger costs:

    “The contract, which ran from September 2023 to 5 January 2026, was worth around $399,000 per day, or equivalent to the annual salaries of a professor and a senior lecturer combined. Put another way, the consulting contract was the equivalent to the salary of 420 professors and 420 senior lecturers for a year.

    Was the level of complexity of the merger enough to justify spending the same amount as it would on the annual labour of 840 highly educated academics?”

    Truly gobsmacked by this one… meanwhile, the cost of an Arts Degree (BA) is daunting for all who enrol for one — thanks to the Morrison (#ScottyFromMarketing) Jobs ready Graduate scheme.

"Het is een overheidsproject, lange duur en geld is geen issue". Ik heb afgewezen omdat het woord "overheid" genoemd werd. Maar kijk de ingehuurde #crisismanagers moeten ook bewijzen dat ze nuttig zijn, dus er zal wel wat naarboven komen 😅😅😅 1600 euro per dag is mogelijks nog te laag voor een crisimanager. Lol

You know what that means, doncha? If you fall behind, you’re out.”

  32. "The target of the administration’s campaign is a stratum of society that’s sometimes called the #ProfessionalManagerialClass, or the #PMC, although there’s not one universal moniker that #MAGA applies to the group it is now crushing. That group includes society’s knowledge workers, its cognitive elite, the winners of the tournament that is the American meritocracy. It covers not only #lawyers, university administrators, and #professors, but also #consultants, investment #bankers, #scientists, #journalists, and other white-collar workers who have prospered in the information age.

    Back in the 1990s, as the group began to emerge in its current form, the liberal economics commentator Robert Reich hailed its members as “symbolic analysts”—people who identify and solve problems by thinking through ideas rather than via physical labor. A decade later, the urbanist Richard Florida put forth an even more triumphalist term: the “#creativeclass.” That is, its members had the academic training to master the complexities of a globalized economy, the intellectual skills to conquer the digital world."
