Trending @Accenture; Toxic Work Environment

I recently joined a project where work environment is extremely toxic. I my experience of 8 years I have never encounter such manager. Manager is really loud , rude , sarcastic and provocative over standups & calls. He’s openly shouting at people and passing on slangs in standup calls. Project management is micro managing project. They are declared that working hours are 12 PM - 10 PM ( 9hrs works + 30 minutes lunch + 30 minutes dinner ). You have to put all the status before leaving your desk even if you are away for 5 minutes. If they see you away with a status message, they will ring you up or your TL to ask your status. I don’t know how to raise or whom to raise this concern to. There is no use of complete about manager as he’s been working in Accenture from past 15 years and he has all the connections. Let me know your suggestions.

It doesn’t matter whom you raise this concern to . He has connections at higher level and he has gotten out of earlier as well. Many people have left project because of his behaviour.
Also do you think this 12-10 thing is right !

Under perform and ask for roll off, work only for 9 hours, send updates over mail before log off . Inform them you can not extend and if it does not work for them then roll off

This thing is common in Accenture. If you see, these people are in Accenture from 15-20 years(their first job). They are frustrated from the people who has joined recently and got good package. Lets not get angry in them and feel pitty on them.
