Deloitte SC planning on hitting about 75% utils this year (first year in level) - will I get fired?

I've never heard of PRD that will give you utilization but if you can find it that would be great. Your target is only 80% and most people don't hit it their first year. 75% would probably easily put you in the top half of your start class. (Am speaking from S&O experience only)

No one gives a fuck. Just make sure you are adding value.

Nope. But you have tons of time to get to 90% ask for internal PRD that will give you hours.

I'm going to be taking PTO (which will negatively impact utilization) and parental leave (which will not). I'm at 92% now but will be on the bench before Thanksgiving and near Christmas

PRD that counts towards utilization is like a unicorn. And you'll usually only get the special code when your utilization is complete shit.

FPX projects give adjusted utilization. There are not tons of them this year but they are out there

I assume b/c its first year and parental leave / etc it should be fine so I appreciate the replies - I was worried because more than ever utilization seems to be the name of the game

Are you taking the full 16 weeks of parental leave? Aggressive for being your first year I guess

If you get fired for utilization it means something else was wrong too.

Get on multiple projects if you can. I'm sure you could find someone in your network that could use someone with an hour or so free time each week to help out with a project

First year you will get a pass but need to hit going forward

Yup

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
