D25 - I'd consider myself a leader in the firm, but I'm not HR or even a Principal. For all the complaints on here, I decided to try to add some balance and transparency. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a fan of the firm. The people I work with have done well by me and supported me through the more challenging times. If there's a little that I can do to support others - even anonymously on social media - I consider it giving back.
Appreciate D14 and the transparency. He or she is one of the good guys.

Level?
And the reason am being told I got a 4 was because of lack of participation in proposal building efforts / firm activities... WTF!!..
7th year now.. Been with the firm long enough to understand that a storm is coming my way
If not BD, what type of "firm activities" do y'all have to do?
To get a 3 D8?
OP i came from deloitte few years ago and there is one sheet or armor that can protect you, that is being billable. Nobody will do anything as long as dont come to the beach
This is horrible. I'm sorry
Not claiming it does E1. Just know it has happened more than one time
Weird. If over 80% of your time mapped to PE 2, ideally there is a chance for you to get 2. Now if ur firm activities are low then you become a 3
Yup D2 is right. 4 seems weird unless there is something beyond the PEs and firm activity which was given as feedback during consensus.
Thanks d11, that explains a lot
Yeah target utilization is 95% but partners during y2bta said as long as you get within 10% of that you'll be fine
I got a 1 last year, a 3 this year with all 2's on my projects and 300+ hours of initiatives. S&O SC. Like OP I was told I got a 3 because my firm initiatives weren't impactful. Guess they were trying to send a message about what matters to them this year.

Any idea on how the PPDs for year ends meetings are chosen?
Just wanted to say sorry for all the shit you guys are dealing with at D. Can't imagine how frustrating it must be
I appreciate that. They shouldn't have taken consensus away from the project delivery model this year though. Not cool or fair in my opinion
D14 that's fine but you can't tell us it's not been an especially harsh year with trivial factors being critical. Also, if the feeling among staff is such, I would argue the process is broken even if it's oh so hard to be in the meetings
"Cuts" aren't decided in YE meetings. Just ratings. In past years we've had some flexibility on the number of 1s, 2s, etc... - but this year we had to stick to a strict curve. We all knew 4s would likely be let go but that wasn't the case across every industry and service line.
