Project keeps being pushed back a week at a time and I'm approaching a month on the bench. Is there anything I can do for my utilization? I still have pre-engagement work every day, no other project.

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

Rolling off a project always reminds me of the tagline from Drive: "There are no clean getaways."

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?
