Found out I have to work Friday instead of taking the long weekend. Just recently started this project and I already hate it. I get that this is "what we signed up for" but how about > 48 hours notice

Suck it up. It will not be the first time you will have to work on a holiday.

This actually is a big deal. It is a firm holiday and the project just started. The holiday should have been built into the plan. This just screams poor planning and bad work-life balance going forward.

Friday is a Deloitte holiday

OP, it's not the end of the world - you can take that holiday day at another time, it doesn't just go away. I've had to do this multiple times for MLK day since most clients don't have that day off. Just bank it and use it instead of PTO in the future.

I know I can take the holiday later. I'm annoyed at the lack of notice. What if I'd had plans for a 4-day weekend to get out of town? I didn't, but I'm sure someone on the large project team did. The "suck it up" attitude is also what allows practices like this to continue and for poor leadership to get away with not managing the project to the timeline well.

Looking for recommendations on a good book/resource on how to manage people, especially when you’re managing teams to achieve tight deadlines and also overall leadership for those teams. Currently on a project with tight regulatory deadlines and feel like I’m struggling to push people without pissing them off. Great learning curve for me and a good read seems timely. TIA!

How do you assess your client time as billable or non-billable? We are currently reviewing our time card process and want to better establish groundwork for differentiating between the two. Further to that, do you have your time members log their time and categorize it as Billable/Non-Billable upon submission? or does the Account Manager review submitted time cards and assign each based on the work being logged?

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
