Are you doing 20 of community service each week because you are on real-life probation for a crime?

likefunnysmart

I have absolutely no idea what you are saying in this post. You were counseled out on an RFP? WTF does that mean? Do you know what “counseled out” means? How/why are you doing 20 hours of community involvement each week? And what do you mean by probation? A PIP?

like

RFP responses always trump “community involvement.” You should be worried if you haven’t changed your mindset on how you prioritize your time.

Okay, here's my interpretation of this extremely incoherent post. OP has been asked by global leadership to stop working on an RFP. He is wondering if he should be worried about this. He is already working 80 hours/week (60 billable, 20 community service), the client and project lead love him, he has responsibility for more deliverables than his peers, and he has only had one month at the firm (two months of probation left). He does not understand that being counseled out means being asked to leave the firm vs just rolling off of an RFP response. Clear as mud.

His lack of intellectual and emotional clarity is surely what led him to underperform on a highly visible RFP. My guess is that his defensiveness around it cemented long standing concerns from others in his practice.

We are all left to guess. RFP response and OP had two pieces and was given the boot from the proposal team. Global lead person gave them the boot even though they are liked by the client?? By the lack of clarity in the post - yes, you should likely be worried.

Hey all, I’ve recently joined EY consulting from another Big 4 and have noticed there’s no discipline (at least in my team) around codes and charging time. People either charge a standard 7 hrs or some will charge time spent on internal activities to their client code.

I was told that “the last person to charge their actual hours worked was promptly booted off the project”.
Just wondering:
1) Is this a general cultural point accross all Consulting teams? Will challengin this get me in trouble?
