There is a utilization tracker on DNet you can use to find out.

Yes

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

like

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.

funny

Utilization rate = Client Service Hours worked / Client Service Hours expectations (1835-1935 per year).

No PTO does not directly lower utilization.

smart

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

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

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

like

No

“no” to what?

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).

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off. I’m wanting to take 5 days in June for a family trip and know I need to put in the request to the partners I work for sooner rather than later. I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)
