Lol, Deloitte definitely still counts PTO and holidays against our utilization

It's all a part of that WORK-life balance

It’s work life integration, not balance. You work all the time, while multitasking life which gets 1/5 of your attention.

You know they no longer count PTO against utilization? They changed that like 3-4 years ago

Does KPMG's PTO usage actually affect utilization? I mean... why?

like

Well KPMG doesn’t and the OP is from KPMG so I think they are confused

like

Truth. My utilization is 84% and my adjusted is 107% lol

amen

There is a specific version of utilization that accounts for PTO which is used for variable compensation purposes

like

Good for KPMG! Sure wish Deloitte would come around!

like

It's not changed at KPMG, it's just that there is regular utilization (which is out of total available hours, including PTO etc) and adjusted utilization where those things are subtracted from denominator. Used for different purposes.

like

I believe there are versions of utilization where one type is your core and the other type accounts for training and PTO. The second metric is what is used for calculating variable compensation.

funny

No effective utilization?

No truer statement OP!😅

Wtf does that mean ^

Tedious. Let's put it this way: if you use all your vacation how many weeks does that leave you of bench time before you miss your util target?

The lower one effects your promotion case. The higher one effects your bonus.

People look at adjusted. PTO does not impact your performance review.

My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
