Hello fishes, I wanted to understand regarding Business Consulting - Process Improvement team at EY India.
I understand that there's a lot of travel to Plant sites associated with the role. I'm being offered 18 LPA fixed for 2.5 YOE and a Consultant 2 position. If anyone could help me understand the WLB aspect of it and aspects of work it'll be really helpful.

Advocate for yourself and anyone on your team who might be even less comfortable speaking out. That’s called leadership. You can do it.
In 2009 we had a pandemic with the swine flu. I don’t recall travel restrictions, meeting cancellations, etc. We were instructed to cough/sneeze in our elbow, not shake hands and wash our hands regularly. Most of all we used good sense. I was pregnant during this time. I work in hospital settings too. And was working in institutions where patients were being treated with swine flu during this pandemic. Be smart out there and you will more than likely be ok.
@BAH1 get that, but D3 implied every single person is screwed. We need to take a second to breath and relax
How does any of this make sense? Put ourselves and families at risk for something that can easily be done remotely for the time being.
We’ve already been told if we don’t feel safe traveling to take the necessary measures. I would say that someone at your client having it is definitely a big no to traveling.
My client is a health organization as well, so our team has developed steps with the client on what happens if there is a case. I’m surprised more teams haven’t done this. I’m sorry OP if you really are worried of carrying anything back home with you then push back! Most work can be done remotely.
Somehow everyone else feels “safe” traveling, so it’s a bit hard to say you don’t without it being held against you.
This^^. Someone has to be first.
Not to mention the partner replied that we should all get hand sanitizer, “if you can find it”. It’s respiratory, hand sanitizer is about as useless as telling us we’re empowered to make a decision on traveling or not 🙄
@P1 - I have been able to find that easily. I used hand sanitizer yesterday after one of the snot goblins at the farm sneezed in her hand and wanted to hold my hand.
Do you halt travel for cases of the flu?
This isn’t the :$:$-&-);&(@/ flu.
I don’t understand this mentality of consultants. At what point do you guys think it’s worth it. Why work for a company that doesn’t care for your safety.
Isn’t this also a question of liability?
You don’t need to travel
No traveling. The firm said Friday you can make this decision yourself
There are two types of people in the firm... partners and assets...
Don't travel
U ded
Call in sick
... with COVID-19
OP, you yourself are responsible for your health and well being. If you don’t feel comfortable to travel, then you have the right to do so. Let others take risks if they want.
As consulting firms I’m pretty sure we will travel unless the client or government tells us to stop.
Was it your firm instructing you to still travel? Or an email from the client?
Email from our internal project team
I know exactly which client this is. Pretty ballsy putting this on blast for such a small project team 👀😱
60+ person project team is small? Unless there is a similar situation/common partner between the two? Not really sure what you’re referencing and it’s also not putting anything on blast when it’s a real situation.
A friend is a remote physician reviewer for inpatient medical necessity and his first two cases Saturday morning were blaring examples of Corona risk unrecognized by the front-line provider despite respiratory compromise and recent travel abroad.
Stay home.
