I put PTO on my schedule in July to go out of town for a concert & haven't purchased tickets yet. Should I be willing to cancel those plans to free up my time for an engagement that needs staffing?

It depends upon whether your sacrifice will be noted and rewarded sufficiently or not. Early in my career I cancelled plans and the firm paid all the change fees (ended up in the $ 000's) and they made it known they appreciated it. I was promoted soon there after with material comp change. However, if you are just losing a life experience for a pat on the back and a 😐 then don't forget to buy a t shirt and be wary of prescription drugs ...

^ firms don't reward special efforts anymore. Partner's don't have the ability (in the firms they own) to offer comp outside of the national structure... moreover, if your firm can't find staff in July, why are you still there?

Alright, I'm hearing everyone loud and clear! 😂Thank you!

Managing Director 1: It was a request by scheduling directly, not a Sr. Manager/Manager or anyone in my office. They packaged it as an offer so that I could "boost my charge hours", as I'm not at 100% YTD. I'm out on a Friday and Monday in the middle of final, so I'd have to cancel my plans entirely. Actually, I'm out the week of interim, too, but those tickets have been purchased already and I'm not even considering canceling plans... I need some sunshine in my life. I had that thought though, maybe someone would notice and appreciate it! Sadly, I don't think that would actually be the case.

PwC 3: The job is owned by a partner in a neighboring city, I think they're trying to utilize our local office for staffing. Is it a red flag if a firm is unable to find local staffing in July? Maybe they pushed the "get your PTO in" emails a little too much, lol

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?
