Usually we all put in at least 40-50 hours by end of day Thursday. If you work from home Friday and don’t have a deadline or busy work, are you taking PTO if you’re not online for the 8 hour workday

Funny how most on this app say they hate consulting cuz they work crazy hours, 60-70 hrs a week when I feel like 40-50 is more accurate when you don’t include travel time and time spent staring into space

I never get why people do not consider travel as working time? I travel because of my work - hence it's working time (and most of the time managers want you to do actual work). Am I missing something here?

I straight coast on Friday’s. I take necessary calls and reply to emails but sure as hell don’t take PTO to top up my three hour work day

Charge Friday to admin. Never charge PTO if you have more than 40 hours during the week. And, if you have to take a work call while on PTO, charge that time to a work code

I am working in the company office

Yeah I totally never had a team that cared about ending early on Friday’s

Do you guys charge rest of time to G&A? Or allocate hours worked during the week and charge it on Friday so the total for the week is the same? (We have a minimum daily 8hr requirement on T&E)

This is a good question. I usually charge 8 per day and no more than 40 per week cuz of no overtime. Hence the dilemma if I want pto Friday but I have hit my 40 billable hours. Do I take the day off. Put pto on calendar and allocate my billable hours to Friday? Because in my mind if I only bill 32 and take 8 pto then my firm is losing out on 8 billed hours of work that I did

I just charge them 8 for Friday anyway and tell them I'm waiting for builds to finish

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
