I am on two separate jobs and I had a quarter filing last week so I was very clear with my other job that I have limited availability. We filed late Thursday night and my manager on my other team immediately jumped on me telling me that I need to pick up the slack on this other job. It’s like you can’t even breathe during busy season. I am doing the best I can do but constantly being stretched thin makes me just want to walk out during busy season.

Not the same work man! 3/4 jobs at RSM is probably similar work to a large accelerated client at the Big4.

I’ve had this happen before and I’ve pushed back and better explained my position I told a manager that I was too tied up on urgent client needs to attend to the other client. Managers don’t like it but sometimes they need to roll up their sleeves too and get stuff done.

The firm pissed off a lot of seniors this year so people are walking and leaving the current seniors stretched because there’s not enough of us.

Yeah just hang in there. Sucks for sure but just do the best you can do and don’t let it all stress you out. 3 months from now it won’t matter :)

I’ll never understand this! Although not a lot, they let people go this year, yet seniors and managers are working on two engagements at the same time! I don’t understand how they can take advantage of people like that!

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.
