Have you ever been praised for “handling a lot” instead of being given real support?
That compliment kept me stuck longer than it should have. How do you interpret that kind of feedback now?

The worst!

I absolutely love it when management says, “You’re so good at staying calm under pressure.” They don’t realize the pressure building up is about to make me explode—and they never offer any kind of support.

That’s so destabilizing to hear when you’re about to explode!

Yes that is common

It needs to not be

It's easy for high performers to fall into that trap. Sometimes you have to deliver well but not too well so that they don't exploit you. Drop the ball a couple of times, on purpose, and believe we you will her help. Otherwise I you will likely need to find your exit opportunity.

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?
