Question for PwC folks: if I'm sick and working from home, but there wasn't much to do that day, what is better utilization-wise: charge to available or to sick day? Or no difference? Thanks guys!

No difference to utilization. From an optics perspective it's better at the end of the year to have a mix of time. That way if utilization comes up as an issue you can show that some of it is due to travel, some sick, some PD, etc. You don't want it to be all chargeable or G&A. But for utilization specifically sick vs available doesn't matter.

Are sick days and pto separate at pwc?

That's sweet. I get annoyed using pto when I'm sick 🙄

Holiday is a wash between the two since they both provide the same holidays. I just know that when I switched from KPMG to PwC last year I took a hit on my pto. I think it was a 5 or 10 day hit I can't remember. I know I would have gained it back eventually with time served (with the firm). It wasn't a big deal to me since I figured I could make up the difference in "sick" days since they are unlimited at pwc

Gotcha just wasn't sure since you said you started with 10 days but I get what you're saying now

like

Yeah we don't take PTO for sick days

We have unlimited sick days. After like 5 or 10 consecutive days in a row you have to go on disability or something

Sick day. I hate being on availability. And check the charge code policies.

I would do sick if you are sick. Either way it's 0/8 for utilization.

Ya but you get more pto at KPMG. At least from what I remember. I started with 20 days? at kpmg and when I started with pwc I got 10. Increased every year for service.

^we get 15 to start and 10-12 firm holidays

So that totals to 25-27..

KPMG starts with 25 PTO days +holidays

So basically it evens out pwc 1?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking.

I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
