Of the last 18 hours I billed, I have worked for 2 hrs, interviewed/applied to other firms for for 3 hrs and slept for 7.

Prior to this behavior, I had a 4.5/4.5 scatter plot and 105% utilization. I make $5000 more than your new hire BTA, with 5 yrs of exp, and I was denied a market adjustment.

You get what you pay for, D(an)

Honestly. If you can do it, and no one is checking on you, that says more about your management than you. Bc if someone was pulling that on me, I’d call them out on it. 18 hours of work billed, and 2 hours of actual work. Unless you’re a superstar, I’d catch your bull 💩!

I used to just work for an hour or two. Work was simple send chase emails out in the morning check-in at 3pm then again at 5pm compile data and send it.

Now if I missed anything it was a big deal so the times I was work were very important and bc I never missed anything and did my 2hrs of work well my manager was freed up to do more important task and was thankful that I could manage it all alone he never checked in on hours charged. I did occasionally have crazy days but those were rare. That was one of my fav engagements and it was the first few months of quarantine too

Tbh they deserve it. Especially given how much they earn from your labor. I’d just be careful burning bridges with your old team. The biz world can be small.

I decided early in my career that no matter how disappointed I was with my job I would never compromise my integrity.

SA2, I’m with you 100%, until you’re talking about the people whose method of succeeding is by attacking and ruining the lives of others.

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
