Why was your utilization that low and what steps did you take since last year to fix the issue? Was your utilization low due to a medical related leave?

like

FYI, the hours you’re out on official medical leave (as in short or long term LOA or FMLA) will be backed out of the calculation for utilization and doesn’t count against you.

You should be worried….were you on PIP for this year or were you marked as BCLP?

If you were on a PIP/BCLP, you’d know it…it’s not something you have to go check on. Based on the history you shared, If you end up rated “below” for the performance year we just wrapped up, I would make sure your resume is up to date for sure.

I wouldn’t be too worried. Sounds like you’re on a project and it wouldn’t make sense to layoff someone who’s on a project and replace them with someone new.

If you end up rated “below” at YE, or are on a PIP/BCLP, it doesn’t matter if you’re on a project currently or not, you are in a bad position. It’s been that way every year end.

like

Pip isn’t necessarily posted. Are you having weekly check-ins with your coach? Etc that’s the tell tell.

You absolutely know if you’re on a PiP (now BCLP). It’s a very formal process up front and has your coach, USDC leadership, and Talent involvement. Nobody on a BCLP is surprised to hear about it at year end when it impacts ratings.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
