In the last PDM town hall, they said they were going to lower utilization targets for those that work on projects with capped hours. For those people, have you seen your utilization target lowered? I haven’t seen shit change for me.

I haven’t seen any communications on this. But in your year end review I’m sure you can use capped hours to justify being under your utilization target.

It was in the last PDM town hall if you can find a recording.

I’m mid-interview for a PDM position and curious if there are any updates regarding this, can anyone shine light?

Today they said it was hard to nail down capped projects so it doesn't sound like it will change. However there said they know as long as you tell your coach and it won't impact year end. Just have to talk to your coach

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo? For context, this writer I work with conceptualizes by himself, emails the Account team, gives deep input, and makes decisions for us without consulting with me (his “partner”) most of the time. While I appreciate his proactiveness, I feel excluded, limited, and without much room to co-lead the work with him. I don’t know how to bring this up without sounding like I’m b*tching about it.
