It's a special type of BBQ. And you always finish your meal with fresh cannolis, ya dig?!
Just trying to lighten the mood. I'm drinking all weekend with some Accenture peeps. They had a feeling cuts were imminent. And yup:

Accenture is laying off 19,000 employees worldwide — about 2.5% of its workforce — and consolidating office space as it seeks to shrink costs amid rising economic uncertainty. The Irish-American consulting giant said the layoffs will mostly affect employees in in back-office or non-client facing roles; it expects to spend US$1.2 billion on severance over the next 18 months. A slowdown in client spending has hit other consultancies: KPMG recently announced it was cutting 2% of its U.S. workforce and McKinsey is reportedly considering eliminating 2,000 jobs.
