Is 80% utilization a problem at Deloitte if I joined in last September?

So my utilization is currently low and EY announced they would be doing layoffs starting July 1. I've decided to apply to other places. I am currently in the process of getting my clearance (tbc)

I have 44% utilization. Am I getting fired?

How is everyone staying motivated at work while going through fertility treatments? On days when I have appts or get my period, all I want to do is google and read forums about it. My utilization is tanking (not because I’m blowing off work, but because I need to find and take on new work) but can’t get the energy to). I’ve told my manager about what I’m going through and she is supportive, but feeling guilty when I hear about how busy everyone around me is and I just can’t find the motivation.

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

I had 60 day late payment of 35 bucks in Jan. It was new Amex Hilton card I opened for stupid points. It was reported and my credit score had been consistently dropping from last 6 months. It was 780 and now is 735. I realized this 3 months and been paying my credit card bills immediately. Infact I have overpaid each card to have negative balance so my credit utilization is almost zero. What else I can do to repair the damage. I am applying for homeloan and this is big issue to get best rate

This is a bit of an aside, but over the last year or two, I've noticed "career coaching" explode as a service and a field. But, like what is it? How is it different from therapy, and how should it be utilized? I'm intrigued, but don't know much about it.

Hi everyone, my sister was fired from her job because her exemption from the vaccine got rejected. She has Director of Nursing experience as well as experience with case management and utilization review.

Managers, when you & your team are stressed out / working late, how do you cope/keep morale up?

I’m autistic & a newer mgr. ASD folks struggle w/ indirect comms bc it feels like lying. So, it’s hard to pretend I’m fine when stressed. I’m struggling bc it’s breaking my routine & recovery time so I’m not masking well, but trying to maintain a happy supportive face. How do you create space to decompress/discharge bad energy & not send it out to your team in this situation?

I used to love my job but now I just have the worst anxiety attacks at the thought of having to wake up and do it all again the next morning.

Im going to have a conversation with my director tomorrow about my burnout and how I feel I can better do my job but also just have anxiety about how the conversation will go. Kind words and advice would be appreciated 😌
