I always did this because 90% of the time I was alone at a client site, and it was nice leaving work early.

Unsure I’m in internal audit, we have 45 hours a week year round instead of a busy season (we still get busier seasons).

My team always tried to take a break and we ate together as a team. It was not possible 100% of the time, but I would say we did it maybe 80% of days.

Yes, we worked through lunch and would leave at 4:45 everyday. Ahhh those were the days.

90% of the time I worked through lunch. 0% of the time I left early as a result. #audit

Nowadays though with wfh I work 9-9 each day (not weekends though cause f that), so ye nowadays I do take an hour for lunch.

Yes. Not always. Really just depended on the day

Almost always took a break with my team! But if I ever worked thru lunch I left earlier

On my client yes.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Let’s share dumb client stories!

So, what would you guys say are the Pros and Cons of being a Project Manager. Asking for a friend.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.

You know what I love? Managers that tell you to do one thing and you do it. Then when a Client, SM, or PPMD questions your actions they go SILENT🙃. No support or explanation , and you’re left to defend yourself/actions. You ain’t Casper or a mute, so don’t act like one🗣.

My company was acquired last year & new terrritoy assignments were made Jan 1st. The old AEs had until the end of Jan to close out deals they were working to receive 100% commissions & quota relief. The new AE taking over received 50% comm if the deals closed in Jan. After Feb 1st, the new AE taking on the account received 100% comm and the old AE received nothing. The two deals I had worked for months and in procurement Feb 1 close last week at 445k & $399k. $60+k comm to new AE - $0 to me. 😩
