Charging those codes at random... Now EP is requesting a run down on all this and tells me that the numbers should tie up no matter what...

Been there. Not a good feeling

Seriously, shit like this makes me want to quit like right now

Create a google doc with a consistent format and ask everyone to add their hours and code. Then create pivot tables off this to see who charged which code. Good luck.

Isn't there a system report you can pull to see who has charged what code?

How could they have omitted a staffing plan from the start? That would seem kinda obvious to me!

A1, during the proposal stage, it was cut a lot to get a better negotiating price... And here we are with a budget that is depleting faster than speed of light

You can then compare aforementioned doc to your projected, and the file you are pulling from the system.

Wow Op- that's terrible. How did they think this was going to work out? I feel for you. I guess I would just say' no the numbers don't work and here is why. Let us know how it turns out!

Generally this is how the budget is checked before invoicing the client. You have the projected budget somewhere in excel; you have the billing report you get from your internal system, and if that's not up to date you can have people submit their individual hours. Before you invoice the client, you check that the actual matches the projected. If it doesn't, your manager would have to explain to the client why. Then you submit the invoice.

Looking for recruiting firms to help me find my next project / program management role.

Struggling to determine which firms can help with PM roles AND I'm struggling to get the ones I do find to respond to me. It may have something to do where I'm at in my career - 15+ years of PM experience & director-level roles at my last 2 companies - so more exec level but not quite C-Suite. Have tons of one-off recruiters hitting me up on LinkedIn about contract PM roles but that's not what I want.

Bench is so deep that anytime
