Someone correct me if I’m wrong… for PDM Analysts/Senior Analysts with 93% utilization target, working 40 hours a week, factoring in holidays/collective disconnect days… there’s 1 day of PTO available across the entire performance year in order to meet utilization by Jan 8? Is that even legal? Lol

Something to keep in mind — when they raised the utilization from 90% to 93%, they did it based off the commercial expectation of 45 hour weeks. If you are on a project that caps hours at 40 (which is most GPS projects), your PM really should be notating that in your year end so it is taken into account that you can’t reach 93% reasonably. If you’re reaching 90% you should be fine and if you are only slightly below that but a high performer, it shouldn’t effect you. Unless you are super low on until they don’t care much when you are performing.

Also if you are on a project capped at 40 hours, take advantage of any OT opportunities given (if given). I very much prefer working a few 42 hour weeks when the opportunity arrises and using all my PTO without worrying.

I’m sure this has been considered, but was thinking about how if PA firms offered sabbaticals after X years of tenure, how it would probably help with retention (for example, maybe one month off between staff and senior, six weeks between senior and manager, etc.) - was talking to friends in other jobs about how great their 1-2 months off when they switch jobs is and I feel like if that was built into the PA model people would have a chance to recuperate / lessen burnout / etc
