Based on working with protiviti, they have great wlb

Work life balance = Protiviti
Career progression = Big 4

What do I win?

I work for Protiviti and absolutely love the WLB and career progression. I always feel so bad when chatting with externals on their hours. I’ve maybe worked over 55hours a week three times. WLB is really important to me.

I’m finding this thread so late, but what position are you in?

The lease doesn’t state this form is required. Anyone else experience this before?

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

When you test a GL account cause the balance is in-scope. Do you net the untested debits and credits together to determine if acceptably low? Or is it determined by untested debits being below PM and untested credits being below PM?
I have not gotten a consistent answer and seen it both ways in practice.
