Nightmare project, awful client, it's so cold that the snow I track into my car freezes over in a matter of hours, and this week Hertz forgot to put an ice scraper in my car. 2016 can only get better.

Why is it that designers are always expected to be creating content, honing a new skill, or working on some side project outside of work? You don’t see accountants coming home from work and thinking to themselves, “I sure would like to do some more math!”

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.
