EY needs to revisit their “unlimited” PTO policy! Even new job postings have been edited to reflect the new term “flexible” time off. Do you equate this to stack ranking during the performance review cycle? Positioning teams and peers against each other due to pressure not to take time off unless on the bench which you can’t exactly plan or predict.

I have unlimited PTO with my new company... I’ll never work at another company with this policy.

This is another problem and abuse rolled down on the backs of managers to have to deal with. Bs half days. So many peripheral issues from this stupid cheap policy! Whoever came up with this should resign for being so short sighted…

I like the new policy. I am taking more time than usual - just need to plan and drop it on your schedule early and manage your utilization.

And no payout if you leave and still have time on the books.

At least in the past your hours would have been same as your salary rate and a portion of time carried over. There was oversight and encouragement for leadership to push for employees to take PTO. Now, let’s not even track it. Like I said earlier, if you complain now the pushback will be that you need to mange your career. Same as you need to manage your hours billed to a client maximum of 40-45 per week even if you work 60+ hours. It’s your fault you couldn’t manage it, right? I would expect this from Deloitte where they love to drill this reverse propaganda in your head and make you feel insecure and dumb but not EY where their people supposedly come first.

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
