Last summer I did it 8 times and got over $13K in vouchers. Definitely worth it

I think it’s a big difference. If they’re paying for you to travel there, whether or not you have meetings or anything urgent you should get there at the usual time unless weather or mechanical issues.

I won’t do it em route to the client. I view that as their time and not mine. I would do it on my return trip but at that point it isn’t worth my time.

If I have no true business need to be at the client site (no meetings, nothing urgent that requires me to be in person) then I’ll take it every time and work remotely

I take em every time

Do it!

You guys take them on days traveling to the client site? Seems a bit bold. If I’m just going to the hotel or going home, then sure if the amount is enough but not if I’m expected on-site

If you’re working whilst at the airport, does it really make that much of a difference?

If you value integrity at all, then don’t do it when heading to the client site. I agree with PWC 1 one hundred percent here

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
