I'm gonna end a promotion year at around 70% utilization (mid 60s now) through no fault of my own. How fucked is my raise?

Did you still get promoted to manager? How are your ratings? What do you mean “by no fault of your own”?

While there are definitely other situations/outliers, my experience is that significantly low utilization outliers are 9 of 10 times the result of a reputation of perceived performance issues and not getting picked up by new teams as a result.

The LEAD system is super opaque and even once raises do come out I have a strong feeling that it will be very hard to make sense of anything. I believe that moving away from number-ratings in an employee population that prefers numerical data, whether those numbers produced fair outcomes and drove performance improvement or not, will lead to a serious backlash that will appear as reduced job satisfaction levels and lower employee retention rates (and not just the low performers leaving which is par for the course).

Well 7 weeks of pay for not doing squat. Your “vacay” is factored into the minuscule raise your going to get.

Heard our utilization won’t even be considered with the new system 😒 plus, the way it’s been going - seems it’s all upper management’s decisions - I/e nobody knows how it all works since it’s the first year in the new system = not holding my breath on anything, but never really did when it came to raises/bonuses lol

Did you contribute in other ways?

What do you mean by "through no fault of my own?"

Total or chargeable ?

Plus, if it’s your promotion year, always heard your raise is limited - since you’re jumping salaries as it is

Why so low? Did you seek out work when you were underutilized?

Or were you working on major projects but just unable to bill?

Promo to senior. I was staffed on a job I wasn't allowed to work on until certain paperwork came through authorizing me to work on the client which took over 7 weeks. Only reason I was put on that was because staffing lent me to another office and didn't have a plan B for me when they were told my time from March through the end of June would be dropped during Q2 due to client component location changes. That email was sent to them first week of March. I had about a weeks notice once my time was dropped while staffing had over a month before my time was actually dropped. Followed up with staffing every 2 weeks I was still not allowed to work and asked my manager for work towards the beginning...and they were useless. Staffing had the nerve to tell me they had no idea too....

Lol, EY has a new system. That was not communicated early with Vison 2020. Good luck! :)

You’re.

I had 105% and got squat because my manager was a psychopath.

This happened to me and I was still promoted on time

Hi!

I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
