Can folks from other firms explain how your firm tracks (or doesn't) utilization? Deloitte's system is really broken and I want to learn about other systems out there in the market.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Pregnant ladies or ladies with kids,
If you were still working when pregnant, did you manage to keep your workday up to truly 8+ hours and keep your utilization intact? Or,
if you weren’t feeling well and stepped away, did you factor that into your timesheet?

@eygds ..hello everyone.. please help me understand the full utilization and effective utilization. Mine is 79 and 71% respectively... just wanted to understand what is the difference between two and which is has more weightage

Effective vs Full utilization? What's more important. And what is yours for the year?

What are the utilization targets in Salesforce pro serv?

Deloitte people on CPT with 40 hour/week limit: Since its self-reported, do you just bill 40 hours per week? Worried about the impact to my utilization.

With bonus a month later than usual, would round table look at June utilization now?

I wish admin utilized Tier 1 supports with teachers. Smiles, appreciations and acknowledging ones efforts would do a great deal to boost morale and climate. I just don’t understand what that is so hard to do.

In the last PDM town hall, they said they were going to lower utilization targets for those that work on projects with capped hours. For those people, have you seen your utilization target lowered? I haven’t seen shit change for me.

How is the practice’s utilization below plan? Is it just so in realistic?

I’ve been asked to join a consultancy team specialising in coaching - but they’re using a stake holder approach to leverage pressure on the employees of the companies that hire them. I’ve built my practice on putting the relationship first, and using a different coaching model.
What are peoples experiences of organisations using external coaches? I’ve heard mixed things.
