I miss utilization like a long lost friend. I remember when utilization and I used to stay up all night and cry together in a warm embrace. We never used to keep anything from each other, we were always keepin’ it 100 if you know what I mean. There are serious consequences to missing it though. . . like Stockholm syndrome, usage withdrawals (or what we call ‘the itch’ on the streets), and worst of all finding your fix elsewhere. She’s a cold mistress.

Missed as a staff 1. Got a 3. Hit it exactly as a staff 2. Got a 3. On track to exceed it as Senior 1. Will still get a 3.

Depends on why. Keep your mentor and partner notified, keep a trail that you’re looking for work. Do trainings, etc. Communication early is key

Depends on rank, etc. New staff always miss targets by a significant margin and it doesn’t seem to matter much.

Consulting firms, how does your company use utilization as a performance metric? And what are your targets (e.g, Junior practitioners vs senior)

like

hey, I joined Deloitte in June 2020 as an GPS SA analyst, I just staffed on internal project only providing me adjusted utilization. Now my standard util is 40 and my adjusted is 105... and this project last in another month... by then my standard util might be 20.. will my promotion be affected by this? My target promotion year on TOD is 2022. My manager said we might sell to client and extend this project in September but nothing guaranteed.
