Yep. Never worked with her again.

Yes. He denied it and in response I said "I'm taking this PTO whether I'm on this project or not". I'm not going to bend over and not take my deserved time off after working my ass off for a year straight. Also, I wouldn't say that if the project was going through desperate times. Gotta pick your battles.

Nope, but i'm not a rookie and plan them ahead and tell the Ps ahead before I start the engagement. I don't request for PTO late in the game and/or during milestones

All the time. Mostly trying to shorten it. Most Deloitte managers are jerks just interested in making themself look good.

Have seen pre-planned PTO get taken away closer to date

Um nope. I always share PTO before starting a project too so there are no questions later on. I never have long term projects though so it's pretty easy

like

I m just not sure how can your pre planned PTO be taken away? Like u are going to see your family or far away or smth... It's as simple as "no I cannot cancel and we have talked about it before I started"

like

Nope

Never been denied PTO (from PwC at least... other firms yes)

firm*

Should also add that all analysts through senior consultants were asked to cancel their impact day plans the night before impact day. This was so an insignificant status document could be produced, and because our leadership had never notified the client. I have a feeling we're about to lose our July 1 holiday due to the same incompetence.

You need to get your counselor involved.

Yes. I had a long weekend planned just to chill at home - so nothing specific or travel plans. Was asked by SM if I could reschedule if possible to me being the only person who did XYZ the last Friday before all contracts were due. Said no problem. I understand I can reschedule. Now if I had actual plans or travel schedules , I would not have done that.

@A2 it was shared when joining the project. Required flight to see family, but he had to work through the entire day

D2 when required to see a family you get on a plane and go...? Family is top priority esp when previously discussed

He went but worked remote

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.

Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
