I guess if people can protest without social distance, consultant should be able to return back to client site

Wanna be honest, I left my house 5 times in the past 3 months, I’m kinda over it

There’s inconsistent policy and expectations from agency to agency. BAH will go to bat and negotiate if we don’t like the individual client’s approach... but for those unique classified environments, you’ll see a slow increase in number of people that have to go back on site in some fashion over time. I bet there’ll be more tension over time with clients, and the localized medical climate by geography will make this very dynamic to manage.

BAH keeps sending surveys about going back to work assuming covid is contained and have heard similar things about Guidehouse

Who’s going back to client sites? Haven’t heard of this at all.

Very few and only if mission-critical. Booz Allen has already stated that if you work in a Booz Allen corporate office you will be teleworking long term. And those going back to govt site are doing it part-time and if they're full time there are only a few people in at a time (social distancing, working shifts, minimally manned, etc). It's like you don't read emails or attend All Hands or something.

Yeah I haven’t either

Curious to know people’s planning systems. I’m a paper planner at heart, but in this practice, there’s so many tasks and sub tasks for each client matter and each task may be in various points of completion (to do, waiting on, in process, etc.). I’ve toyed with excel sheets, word docs, paper planning, Trello, Notion, etc. and nothing seems to ‘stick.’ Thank you!

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that.

Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
