It has nothing to do with the fittest..Low utilization will get u laid off and staff cannot control that. It sucks to be in the market where Directors/Partners not selling enough work but doesn't held accountable.

Survival of the fittest my friend.

Yep it is. Be very good at what you do, do what you need to do to become an asset that can't be lost and you will be fine. Sorry to be insensitive, but you didn't do consulting for job security, especially not when we're paid more than the average US citizen. I'm sure Assurance will be happy to take you if you have problem. ❤️

Hope it not a Halloween surprise!

It's coming for sure.

Death and taxes, buddy.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.
