Engagement setup

I hate working on proposals. I know they’re important, I know we need them to get new work but I hate them. It doesn’t count unless you win the work and the amount of effort that goes into it never feels worth it when I still need to hit my charge goal that week. The balancing act of working on it and needing to charge enough hours just kills me.

Yeah. Imo there should be a code that counts towards utilization, as this is def unfair if the engagement is not won, as it costs too much time to not count towards anything.
