1st year manager here. 101% utilization, 40 hours PRD. Snapshots are solid/strong. Councilor told me that there was negative feedback from the local office- lack of involvement with local efforts

Could also be a bullshit reason to force a distribution to support layoffs. Either way you don't have a lot of control, wouldn't read too much into it...

As a manager you have expectations about leading in the office. You are a leader in the firm now and are expected to act like it.

Yes but how many besides billable work?

Aye, you might be an ahole. Ask for specific examples and figure out how you can adjust.

Am I in trouble?

What else did you do besides 40 hours PRD and the billable work? How many hours in Snapshots?

2100 hours of snapshots - specialist track

No other snapshots except client and the 40 hours of prd work

Sounds like a leadership problem. Not sure why lack of local involvement would sink you, but has similar feedback. Still got a 2 last year.

Would suck to be canned after what I thought was a year where I killed it, and PRD work that were actual wins

Solid snapshots and 101% util should keep you away from being canned. 40 hrs on firm initiatives seems very light, you should try to do more.

@D3 you a savage for that one. OP set up some more happy hours

What service line?

I'm just telling you what I was told. Recruiting managing counselees, attending office events are all table stakes. If you don't do, you are hurt. If you do, then no big deal. Like compliance

SI
