Anyone else surprised that we had many staff not get promoted to senior this year? What is happening.

The reality is that there wasn't a business case to promote everyone. Not getting promoted, especially this year, is not something to be embarrassed by. It is an unfortunate reality of the current business cycle uncertainty that both our clients and we are facing. That doesn't make it better, but it is an honest assessment of where we are.

Seriously? It used to be 100% (minus one odd kid) promotion from staff 2 to senior in my years.

Exactly. This isn’t manager or senior manager promotion

Would you rather we over promoted and had layoffs as a result?

It was toughest year ever for our practice to get promoted. If you didn’t, please don’t get too down on yourself. It’s not solely based on your performance, it’s about market projections and they just aren’t looking great right now.

Are these January hires that didn’t get promoted or staff with the essentially full 2 years?

2 yoe staff

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?
