Accenture Tells Employees to Spend Only $29 on Claude per Month

smb06

$29? So basically one half decent session to plan and half-build some moderately complex task? Per month?

I get the concern over tokenmaxxing and dead-end projects, but they are going to lose talented people over such petty limits, and hold back the work they do for clients.

Do 404media links get auto de-ranked on HN? I know it's a contentious publication in the SV tech circles. I'm surprised this isn't higher up.

Just don't let the markets hear that. Quiet now.

> Meaning, if an employee goes over the allocated $29 — and $29 is nothing compared to the costs some Accenture employees are raking up — workers have to find a specific project or team (called a Work Breakdown Structure or WBS at Accenture) to fund the rest of the usage. It sounds like they need Claude usage to be tied to a paying customer so they can bill that customer for that usage. That's how many services organizations work.
