Does sick day count towards utilization ?

Team is already talking about eating hours. My utilization is down cause I was in unassigned for a month in Dec/Jan. What's worse pissing off the partner or having a low utilization? -staff 1

A colleague mentioned to me that they bill self study instead of pto. If I’m utilized at 100%+ and staffed on a client and take 3 days off wed-Sunday, they say bill self study and save pto. Advice?

So sick of these pat-on-the-back posts on LinkedIn, and the ensuing circle jerk that follows

Has anyone gone into YE with lower than the target utilization? I have about 2 months worth of PTO and trainings this year but want to know how a low utilization will affect my YE rating

Would be willing to pay up to ~$400 for some convenience

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

One of the team member has applied leaves for continuous 3 days this month. Later she applied for a 15 days leave saying a medical emergency. Both the leaves were rejected from her manager saying connect with HR. though she is on leave without PM leave approval and this is not even prior notice to the team.
Now'what and all would be the consequences she might face. Is there any chance of these things are being escalated? Please advise!

Does anyone know why managers call themselves “Executives”? In my mind, I only consider Senior Managers and up an Executive. Just curious if anyone else thinks it’s a little bit of a stretch.

When does RSM find out about promos/bonuses/etc?

Is it bad if I already find myself disliking my job 1 month in? Did anyone feel this way at first and then grow to like what they do?

Just switched to advisory and working directly with a talented SM time to time. How can I show humble but also not acting like know nothing? (Say you have related work experience and did some hw...)
