Wow. McKinsey, which has the biggest public sector presence of the MBB, really hasn't been doing too hot at all in the sector.
Its presence is tiny and it's gotten even smaller. Meanwhile it's bungling whatever opportunities it's getting.

I do public sector work...never heard of such a policy anywhere
Mck presuming your high hours and speed/quality trade off are related to the pressures on labor rates. Would you say that those realities represent your PS practice across the board?
Depends on the client / project OPTEMPO, but 90 days is certainly not a requirement
Just EY lmaooo
One of the reasons why I left
Yea this policy is bs. Never heard of that before. I guess that is what sick days are for :)
Leadership will still track that and ask you why you took time off causing a variance of over 20+ hours.. even though you used the sick leave code
Is that the policy? Really hope that doesn’t creep to the commercial side...
I’ve had to do this at a few places. It’s not like the “policy” matters. You make your projections and then you live your life. Projections aren’t meant to be 100% accurate anyway. So you decide to take a day off and you didn’t forecast it, what are they going to fire you? Think about the cost/benefit of them doing that.
If the projections are meant for your company’s leadership, it’s strictly so they can get a high level forecast of revenue in future months. If the projections are meant for the client, they go into a spreadsheet or some SP calendar and are hardly monitored at all.
I’ve worked at KPMG and PwC in the fed space before. The answer to them was no
Your statement is a little vague... At Deloitte and Accenture I found similar policies, written at Deloitte and unwritten at Accenture... Basically on any project, public sector or not, it's at the project lead's discretion as to when you can take PTO. However, if you had planned the PTO and put it on your calendar before accepting the project, and the project took you on with that PTO in mind, it's yours. But it's your job to raise that flag when you're in discussions with a project. That's why I've always made a habit of projecting my PTO out about 12 months and putting it on the calendar just in case. That way at least they're planning for the time I'll be out, even if we nail down the exact days as things get closer.
As to putting time on your calendar in advance before you're assigned any projects... At Deloitte when I left anytime over two weeks had to be approved by a regional service line lead I think. At Accenture we don't really have a rule about it, but if I'm blocking out anything over two weeks I do just mention it to my counselor.
This is big for EY GPS bc I guess we messed up one year. It has something to do with an incident where too many ppl requested off around Christmas for too long and our numbers for that quarter end up being way of projections.
US leadership made GPS request 90 days in advance so this wouldn’t happen again. So you are paying for the sins of GPS of the past
