If your project has problems with your charging more hours but you do it anyways because you are working that much.....do you get rolled off or fired?

OP, it's valid for SM to expect you to notify them of you're going to go over the budgeted # before you do. That's how profitably is managed, and frankly if you're working more than 40 hours but they can't see how you're delivering the expected work in that time, that's how they can perform that control function. At the same time if they tell you they need to do what it takes to get X done and leave it open ended, you definitely should bill those hours. Just be sure you're keeping a daily log of what you're doing and cya by telling managers as soon as you think you'll be going over (not after!)

You should bill what you work. If PMO has a problem, they will let you know before any action is taken. Be ready to substantiate the hours you logged, remember that you get in late on Mondays and leave early on Thursdays, and Fridays are usually busy in the mornings only. PMO knows that too.

But if you keep doing it probably rolled off

Keep escalating if they ask you not to bill. Not on you, it’s on them

I love how the orientation at every firm tells you that you must put in the correct amount of hours you worked. And when you do what they say, they give you shit for doing it.

Make sure you can substantiate all the hours you are charging. He can’t say no if you keep a detailed log of what you are doing. But be proactive and let him know before you use the hours.

As a Senior Manager, I have some insight. I would ask a few questions. Of myself, did I underestimate the amount of effort to complete the project? Am I managing the scope correctly? Is the client pulling my resources in other directions? Did I staff the right person for this role? If I cannot explain why more hours are required than scoped, I have no choice but to look at you. I have to manage to a budget in order to hit my expected and communicated margin. If there is a mismatch in ability, I will make that change.

like

Discuss with your M/SM about spreading your weekly hours total. Like, if you work 8-5 Mon-Thurs, see if you get a half day on Friday

I had a chat with senior con..i did not bring down hours charged because i work that much(even weekends).....then SM called me..he told me to tell him everytime I charge above 40...which is like every week...so absurb...thats why I asked if i am gonna get fired ...ill stop that..no other option...roll off is fine...

Hi All,

Join birlasoft one month back, but didn't get any project yet. Till now gave two client round perform well in both but afterwards didn't get any kind of response from RMG. RMG people are also not too interactive, they hardly respond to the pings.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable now as in my 8years career it is happening the first time that I am idle for a whole month, also there is no one to interact with. This whole atmosphere is now making me loose my confidence.

Thought this would be a good bowl to have! Especially when it comes to things like dealing with commute times, high cost of living, salary etc. it’s very different here vs other places in the country
