People of the green dot. What do you guys bill in DTE when you don’t have client hours? GAA? CED?

I’ve been having some down time and after this busy season I do not have it in me to go looking for more work at the moment.

Take advantage when you have the down time. Hit whatever internal code is most relevant for whatever you did (or didn’t do).

GAA if you’re straight up doing nothing.
CED for trainings.
PRD if you’re doing research/personal development. Learning about industry/clients but not specifically billable to client.
CNS for counseling discussions, both for yourself and your counselor/those below you.

Thank you. This is along the lines of what I was looking for. Didn’t know about the PRD code. Much appreciated!!

Try anyways if you want to stay employed

Do you have any trainings you can do to use CED?

When I was benched I was billing 2/3 of my hours to CED while studying for a cert and some excel refreshers

Also remember the APA code. For covid we can bill up to 80 hours for down time due to internet outages etc

Last week team dynamics took a turn for the worst (even tho in each retro the team always commend each other, you would think team work is great). Team members get agitated with each other for being slow. Team members coming across rude and brash (the same ones are difficult to get hold to offer support, time is money is what someone said💰, the craziest was the client accidently sharing her whatsapp screen, commenting on people's feedback to what she was presenting OMG 😲 How was your week?

What’s the deal with RFPs? I’ve spent countless [non-billable] hours on several of them only to find out that I’m not included in the actual proposal (the document sent to the client showcasing the proposed case team). Is this normal?
