Your manager and coach/counselor should be fired if your utilization is low.

Now, it’s unlikely but usually more complex. If your utilization is low and everyone else’s is high, it means nobody really wants to give you work.. which is a separate problem.

If you aren’t able to be staffed on projects, repeatedly, yes

low utilization if you are a first year is ok, happens. low utilization if you are experienced is a symptom of something you did (or lacked in doing). If you happen to get fired tomorrow, don’t fool yourself thinking this was because your low utilization; find the reason why your utilization is low - then you will have your action point to do your part trying to increase it

like

No. It’s on the people above you to staff you on projects. But you have to make an effort to ask to get staffed on projects. If not, you will need to fill that time with trainings.

Maybe not fired but not doing anything about low utilization will get you in trouble

^also making sure you have iron clad rationale for why you added value to the firm when not billing clients

If there are any other performance issues low utilization will be the torpedo that sinks the ship

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
