Many people are competitive and will cut you at the knees any chance they get; even overtly and certainly covertly. Especially if you are great and are their biggest obstacle. Give OP some slack here.

It is nice to get rid of bad people, but as for general competition, you probably don't want everyone at your level to leave because then you are stuck with all the work. And no one will like you with that attitude.

Yup, I smile politely even when they say nasty stuff to my face ... because who knows they might not like industry and come back in a few years.

projecting much? It's actually good to have a couple people that you feel competitive with, it can be a friendly sort of competition too, it keeps me motivated.

I've had clients that were my nemesis and I have no problem hoping I'm standing there when karma bites them in the ass. I would feel terrible, but they were nasty to a lot of people.

Projecting what? lol I'm not the one with a nemesis 😂

Do you boo. But it's gonna be a long road for you in your career if you constantly pick out "nemesises" at each of your jobs

Based on your posts OP, you're conflating being competitive with nemesis. Sure I'm competitive for pushing out quality work but I'm not going to see my coworker as a "nemesis". It's unhealthy.

^ Thanks, yeah, this said excoworker is quite friendly but loves to talk shit about everyone, from staff to senior manager and even partners. He splashed some shit on me in front of several senior managers too. I didn't have to defend myself though, my work speaks for itself, everyone knows he is a jerk 🙂

I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher

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?
