There is a utilization tracker on DNet you can use to find out.
Yes
Rising Star
I’ve actually wondered this too lol
I thought taking PTO didn’t decrease utilization - like it’s not factored into equation. Someone pls confirm
Depends on model. PDM it does count against us
I think if you get over 100% a partner has to come over and do chores at your house to make up for the fact you were over-utilized.
Utilization rate = Client Service Hours worked / Client Service Hours expectations (1835-1935 per year).
No PTO does not directly lower utilization.
Rising Star
No. It’s always 2080 unless prorated for LOA or start date. Or if it’s 2120 hours for leap year.
D2 is correct.
What’s your target? Your utilization will absolutely decrease (acknowledging that 120 PTO hours will count toward utilization).
Whether or not it decreases enough to miss your goal is not something someone can tell you without knowing what your goal is. 90% goal? Probably miss it. 80%? Maybe not.
If you’re on the bench when cuts start, you’re at risk of getting cut. Bench means not staffed on billable engagement.
Layoffs are t starting for years. We can’t hire enough people for demand
Pro
I took a month off a few years ago because my utilization supported it and my project commitments were slowing down. Use the tracker to figure out if you can really do it, but your project status is also a factor
Pro
I have never heard of additional approvals for taking accrued PTO — and I didn’t seek any but it may have been because I took mine alongside holiday disconnect so it wasn’t technically all PTO. : I just talked with my project and account leadership and took it off; I talked to them well in advance had a handoff plan in place, and had my next deployment confirmed for when my PTO was over
No
“no” to what?
Rising Star
Yes
wow, it looks like i can take 2 MONTHS off and STILL hit my utilization target? can this be REAL?!
No, because unless you’re on the bench, no one is letting you take 2 months off
What is your role? IT lead is incredibly vague
If you're in Consulting perhaps, if you're on Advisory then not likely (No utilization credit for PTO in Advisory).
