I just got invited to an “Executive Connection” lunch with the OMP of my office the day before thanksgiving. It’s a 1v1 lunch. Should I be updating my resume? I’m a staff 2 who was rated a 3.

I don’t think layoffs are titled executive connection, nor would they take you out to lunch to fire you. Probably wants you to be on his job or it’s a firm initiative to get to know you better

So after reading ey4 and ey5’s responses I went back into my email and it is something I signed up for back in July and had just forgotten about. Sorry for the false alarm.

Executive Connection usually isn’t a bad thing, it’s like a networking type lunch.

Your OMP may not realize it’s the day before Thanksgiving. You may consider contacting her admin and asking if the holiday may impact the OMPs schedule for the lunch. Now you aren’t the lazy ass but instead your the thoughtful forward thinking hero. See what I did there, classic B4 judo.

That's just a lunch that staff/seniors go to with a partner in the office. Don't worry about it.

Day before thanksgiving? That’s cold. Folks have to travel! Probably harmless though. Might actually want to office pulse from your level.

I was under the impression that you sign yourself up for these lunches?

We got to rank 3 partners we would like to have lunch with.

But why the day before thanksgiving?

I am guessing it's a diversity thing, the OMP wants to appear as if he or she cares about diversity. OP, are you a minority?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
