Guidehouse fish - GT is doing a miserable job at giving us the brass tacks info on what to expect when we become GH employees. Can anyone share what utilization requirements are by level over at GH? How much maternity/paternity leave? PTO/FTO? Do you have an end of December firm holiday like GT does?

Utilization goal is 90% for C/SC, 80% for MC, and goes down the higher up the chain you go. Monthly bonuses for hitting stretch goals. (100% C/SC, 90% MC). Resets annually with the calendar year.

"Unlimited PTO" which basically means as long as you hit your utilization goal and the client is happy no one cares how much time you take off. In practice it works well for people who work well past the standard 8 hours, otherwise it's not that great.

13 firm holidays in the US, of which 2 are floating.

No firm-wide December holiday.

Don't know about family leave myself but I'm sure someone else can answer that.

GH utilization varies by segment. For SC in SLG my target is 90%. I believe ES&I SC is ~84%. Not sure of other segments. PTO and sick time are unlimited.

No official firm holiday but - at least in my segment - it’s usually just one person on call for the account and everyone else takes off (because unlimited vacation). We get Christmas Eve + Christmas and NYE + NY as holidays (and get weekdays if they fall on weekends), so you’re only taking a few billable days off.

Happy to answer any other questions on this stuff.

Thank AD 1 -- can you tell us the sales target for AD and D? Does MC have sales targets? Trying to figure out how the GT levels and requirements align. Thanks!

To be clear, this is all managed but not rigid. Each segment builds a budget and we work together to manage to it. Everyone contributes.

So I learned today that my old CEO wanted to fire me while I was on maternity leave because "she isn't bringing in revenue and she's costing money." And he said I took "extra time" even though there was no actual policy, so they told me to take at least 12 weeks AND the COO approved it herself without issue.

I want to text everyone who still works there and put CEO on blast. Someone tell me not to.

I work for a company with a pretty generous PTO policy and a mostly remote flex policy (4 days a month in office if within 75 miles of the building). One thing I’m wondering if there is a way to help us I get the “I’m taking a mental health day” call out regularly which causes a strain on the rest of the team because we were unable to prepare like we would with pre-planned PTO. Any ideas of things I can do as a manager to encourage pre-planned PTO instead of these call outs?
