Just rolled off my two busy season clients. We filed and everything went well. Should I be worried that I am unassigned (week1) past already and my utilization rates around 65 percent.

Project Fit is a lot of different things. The consolidation of markets to eliminate partner overhead and flatten the org at the top. Put senior partners back in the market. Support teams (resourcing, exec assistants, HR) all evaluated for span of control and responsibilities. Lots of low value day to day stuff being moved to centers of expertise while remaining HR/ops, etc will focus on higher value things. Some support folks will not have a job though with the redesign. Some have left already. April 1 is the date for all of the new org to be effective.
