After the FY ends on August 31st, they look at the financials for the year and work their black box. If you're asking about the details within the black box, you'll never know.

What are you calling affordability?

What? :)

Leadership always prefaces promotion with "depends on business affordability." So essentially I'm guessing it's layoffs due to individual performance vs layoffs due to business performance. If the latter, how do they decide who is "less affordable?"

Affordability is usually based on your project and if they gonna raise the rates and the client will allow you to continue. In a nutshell if that's how you are good. Outside of that it's based on practice performance and whether they can afford it

As Iverson would say "Practice......it's all about the practice"........affordability basically means how many people can we afford to promote into the next band. If we only have 5 slots we can afford but there are 8 promotes then we can only promote 5. Make sense?

Yeah makes sense A3 but how are those 5 determined and if they aren't seems affordable, are they out? This is for strategy
