Actually, the more I think about this the more I support it. I've never had an issue being utilized, and while this forum likes to wax philosophical on how pointless it is to evaluate a person by the money they make their firm, it really is the most important metric upon which you can evaluate a person at the SA and low M levels of our company.
If you are an employee with more than 1 year at the firm, then utilization issues are usually your own doing.
I am fully supportive of it. I am in a practice that is almost 100% utilized and it would piss me off that someone who is below 85% in another practice can get a 1 or a 2, when I'm working my ass off. Sorrynotsorry
Punishes people that prioritize short cooler projects over long boring ones 😐
100% is bull. Even if always busy. Most of my work is fixed fee, 8 hours. 1-2 weeks between projects, throw in a training they send us to for a few days, and you could be screwed
P13. A bit short sighted I think. If one group is down a bit for that year, Top performers may leave without high tier bonuses, further impacting that group. Only hurts all of advisory in the long run.
^^ he's right though
Director targets are way high - and if truly all directors are utilized at or above the minimum - crazy impact on margins. 🤦♂️
My heart and prayers go out to the S& folks.
Blown. We also have to submit a snapshot for some bullshit reinvest activity
Top performers usually don't have an issue hitting their utilization metric.
It will screw over engagement profitability along the way as people hammer hours. Not getting it.
To be a senior, shouldn't be hard to hit 84%... seeing that I was at 115+ this year
In my few years here never had a problem staying 100% utilized. I actually think it's a great way to make it transparent.
Well new associates just need to staff themselves then. 😂
I do think there may be unintended consequences to profitability metrics because of the time guidance - that being said, it will likely drive greater accuracy in time charging which is super important for leadership to make accurate decisions.
IPS and TMT will both have this requirement this coming year - not sure about other Verticals
Hope everyone is in a booming practice!
^ not true. It has to do with the project you're on. People on long term say implementations are guaranteed 100% vs someone doing a bunch of assessment or small strategy gigs throughout the year
Just another way to excuse leadership not giving you a good bonus. These targets would have worked in my favor the past 2 years, but you can easily get screwed by being on the bench for a few weeks.
It's like they want people to leave
I foresee a lot more engagement financials issues in the short term. People won't be as willing to ghost hours, which hopefully will force leadership to accurately budget hours in the long run
